    The comments the past week have been well over the top, that's my humble opinion.

    There is frustration and there is pre determined moaning

    Twitter was a cesspit the last week or so, genuinely find on here well balanced even if people disagree with each other ultimately we all want the same thing

    Probably been said before but the movement from Rusyn to open up space for Neil for the second is beautiful

    Can totally see why not speaking fluent English has limited his game time <doh> he should have been in ages ago.

    Hahaha I know mate hopefully he’s in for the foreseeable now, hemir/mayenda off the bench and develop our own, nout against Burstow and I’m sure he does have quality just rather we persist with our own lads

    I thought Rusyn did well today, for his first start. Has the potential and attitude to add more intensity and goals which we need.

    Hemir looks miles away, mind. Bad /stupid decision making at times when he came on. Sluggish & laconic movement and shocking attempt on goal at the end. Kid needs a loan move to man up and get some serious game time in.

    Norwich were among the favourites to go up for many.

    They're on a bad trot, but still have some good players. I thought we won without getting into top gear.

    We are going to lose some games, though three on the trot was a very poor reflection of the games IMO.

    Very long season indeed. We are only lacking the gut that gets us a win when we aren't quite at it. Maybe Rusyn when he gets warmed up properly. He looked lively and hard working to me, and was making the runs. The chances will come.

    Newcastle threw the lead away twice against a very average side, the keeper gave away the second with a sloppy punch and Wilson missed a chance to win the game.

    The point being that there are no games when players don't give the ball away or make mistakes ...

    ... so if you're that way inclined you'll easily find things, every game, to justifiably complain about.

    People moaned about Mowbray's substitutions on Tuesday despite them almost winning a point ...

    ... not so much moaning today and plenty of players got a run out.

    But that has absolutely nothing to do with us! We were sloppy as **** against a team on a very very bad run!
    We won the game, brilliant we march on but pretending everything is great is just delusional imo.

    Just a smokescreen from Mowbray to take the pressure off the lad while he gets up to fitness, not quite there yet, and settle in with the squad ...

    ... surely no one actually believed the language thing.

    And I didn't say everything was great either.
