    I could vault you, but I'll just prove this one with logic..

    We finished 12th and it was nowhere near good enough according to nufc fans.

    Explain your way out of that

    Yeah so you were expecting better I get that much I was too, but what I'm saying is that the tune has changed. 2 months ago it was all bruces fault and the players are more capable than this, but today the players are just all useless and can go.

    I'm asking once again if the fans are enjoying more humble pie today?

    I've seen some improvements and some things that are worse

    Squad needed strengthened in the summer, it wasn't. We all said its the exact same squad that finished last season. All be it with Kennedy Mk2 joining permanently. They then stopped training and stopped improving and age took its toll.

    If only we only loaned the useless ****, he could have been playing in Portugals 2nd tier in a year or 2.

    Gallagher would have been the one him and willock would've been nice imo

    I said that pre season actually but of course he chose Palace because we're unattractive in comparison to London

    There is more holes to fill in our squad than there is in De Wallen. I just don't know where the **** anyone is meant to start. This could be the issue for any DOF. They take one look and go - "**** that, You lot need 10 transfer windows in 1"

    He finished 12th last season with the side our fans are today describing as a championship squad.

    It was a championship squad though. The majority are still here, and have got worse, not kicked on and improved.

    That's fine that means we've now admitted bruce over achieved and was given no credit and blamed unfairly because we've now admitted the players are all just ****

    Unlucky lads ... yes Maddison bought the penalty ... but wtf were you doing in giving him that opportunity by dithering about in possession in your own box?

    Second half goals were great to watch from our perspective.... and we had 4 academy lads playing today ... food for thought... you might have lots of cash now, but it's not all about buying galacticos ... more about building for stability...

    All the best until the return <cheers>

    The "money" came too late, the assembled squad (with 4 keepers) was a shambles and we started the season with the exact same squad as which finished last year. 12 of which were with us 5 years ago when we were promoted. Think that speaks for itself with regards our previous portly owner and his spending habbits.

    This is Howes idea of progress, getting ****ing useless lumps like Lascelles to play out from the back. It’s like a re-run of the Bruce era.

    Hardly a major crisis like I said. I'd argue that yesterday was the strongest you've had out all season.

    You lot are always moaning about injuries and last weeks bid injury and covid crisis was just nonsense

    Yes a think Daka is just as good and that's the point.. An injury crisis so bad you had Vardy and soumoure on the bench?

    You had a few b team players missing.

    It was just a bullshit crisis
