Match Day Thread Newcastle vs Saints, 20th April, 17:30

These twats go in hard, but if you touch them they hit the deck like a bag of spuds.

 

Newcastle look as poor at the back as us. Just need to get at their defence

 

though prowses pace on the wing against this team really isnt helping. i dont know why he was the one defending the counter attack on that corner earlier.

 

We are so dangerous at our corners, it’s just amazing.

 

We don’t even have the physicality to deal with their challenges.

 

When was the last time we came back from a two goal deficit, anyone? #ibelieve

 

Have a feeling we will be seeing both Ramsay and Slattery today. Not because they're better. Just because by the time it gets to 75' we might as well.

 

We’re making Almiron look good... we’re that bad....!!!

 

Bertie's woken up

 

Nearly conceded from our own corner again!

Come on, Ralph, sort it out.

 

Need to go to a back 4.

 

Right, Lemina, strip off the gown, there's a game to be won!

 

A danger to ourselves?

 

Hope Ralph has a hairdryer with him

 

Newcastle certainly had some luck with ping pong balls and loose balls ending up at their feet .........but we are really **** at corners
We end up nearly conceding more than once.

 

2 attacking Newcastle players versus 7 defending Saints, and we seemed outnumbered.

 

HT.....time for changes please Ralph ...Ramsey at RB and maybe Armstrong on.

 

Get Benali on.

 

Missing Valery & Vesti today big time.
Need a big re-shuffle now. Lets just not lose the second half Ralph, earn your corn my son.

 

We're not playing that bad, unfortunately.

Newcastle is a better team, came in with the right plan, is playing confidently, and we have a bit of a makeshift defense.

They are pressing us, and we've been a bit naive about playing against it. But mostly, we just aren't that good and Hasenhuttl went for it with a relatively attacking team.
