    Apparently Krafth refused to fly to Brighton to fly home? Anyone else seen this.

    Apparently he refused to go and play?

    I can’t believe this one!

    this is kind of a good thing though as he’s absolutely ****e.

    ritchie sidelined too.


    But Bruce is a nice guy and hasn’t lost the dressing room.....

    if I were Lascelles I’d get the whole team to go on strike till that idiot got sacked. They’ve pretty much done that anyhow.

    That performance was not a one showing support for the manager was it.

    He'd probably have performed better than Manquillo, he was awful

    It does take time to get back upto speed.. Usually 4 or 5 matches.. The same applies to max almiron and Wilson.

    We're ****ed well and truelly

    We're essentially hoping Fulham lose the next 7 games and that we beat Burnley

    I don't see us beating anyone really. We actually get worse every week when it seems impossible to do so

    I agree... I'm pinning my hopes on Fulhams opponents winning I've given up all hope of newcastle winning

    I’d go back to 3/5 at the back. 3-4-2-1/5-2-2-1
    It might have been bloody negative and boring but we were hard to beat and got enough results and that’s what we need now dull or not.
    Dubravka
    Manky, Lashelles, Fernandez, Dummett, Ritchie
    Clark (in the Hayden role), Any from Willock Shelvey, Longstaffs.
    Almiron, Max
    Wilson.
    Would consider Murphy RWB even if just as sub
    Carroll cover for Wilson, Gayle sub if he runs out of steam.
    Any from Murphy, Frazer, Joe cover for Max.

    I beg to differ, but we were only tough to beat under Rafa - we've been **** every time under Bruce, because he simply will not play the formation the suits the better players. 4-2-3-1, Manky, Fede/Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Willock, Longstaff; Fraser (ASM), Almiron, Murphy; Carroll (Wilson).

    Relegation will be confirmed before we play Sheff United and Fulham

    We'll be in the bottom 3 in 2 weeks

    We have been hard to beat even under Bruce with that system and the players largely know it and are comfortable with it however I’d still be happy with trying 4-2-3-1. At least then we actually have a central striker lol

    This is my feelings.

    Players have gone. Bruce has gone.

    Mate you can now say your most favourite phrase.... We will get relegated and sell our be......erm we don’t have any best players do we.
