    I would like to see Juric stay on next season. SR should already be scouting and doing deals for the summer window. With juric having an input on future players now, we might be able to build a reasonable squad

    Watching live, my first thoughts were that it was a penalty and it was offside. However, I haven't seen a replay yet of either incident - so I don't know if I'm right or wrong.

    But that is not the point. If something is "clear and obvious", it should NEVER take that long to overturn. Never. And we had it twice.

    If it was for us it probably wouldn't have been seen by VAR let alone given.

    Sure. If you say so.

    I’m not having it though. As turd as we are, that was a joke being overturned.

    Hoping you guys miss out on Champions League on goal difference in the 11th added minute of the last game of the season.

    Despicable club, thorough unlikeable outside of Newcastle.

    There should be a 60 sec check and if undecided then the original decision stands. Better still VAR, BIN IT!!!

    At least we aren’t powered by slaughtering despots and proud about it tbf.

    As much as I admire the numbers Newcastle show up in you do have some of the most entitled whingebags in English football among your number, sort of level with Everton and Leeds.

    It's ****ing bizarre. They do it every game we play them, they feel the need to come on and gob off on another fans board. They've won, yet they still feel the need to act like a toddler desperate for attention.

    Not for me

    Already showing he’s wedded to this 5 at the back system. Hate it.

    Doesn’t have the players for it and he’s refusing to adapt, just like Martin.

    There is a team of 11 players somewhere in our mess of a squad that would be capable of being much less embarrassing. But this guy, like Martin, is failing to find it because he can’t see the wood for the trees.

    I think the score flattered us a little bit but pleased to have escaped another hiding.
    I don’t get why people are down on Juric so soon. He’s inherited a squad of players that can’t score or defend yet, we are moving the ball forward much quicker than before and creating more opportunities to score, than before.
    Despite the often too long periods, when we are off the pace and conceding goals, I am enjoying watching us more than when we were playing Chuckle Brothers football and being as boring as ****.
    I don’t know if he’s the man for next season but whoever does come in has to be able to organise our defence and midfield when out of possession.
    Newcastle’s organisation was a lesson for us.
    5 at the back with a very narrow midfield of 4, daring us to try and pass through small gaps or, as mostly happened, go wide so they could press us to the touch line.

    Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything wrong, per se, with Juric. But I’d not be disappointed if we moved in a different direction in the summer.

    Sign of an utter classless moron, is this.

    You won, congrats :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Humility would be recognising that this wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake, which is what VAR was set up for. But exactly why I said Newcastle are hideous to those outside of that ****hole.

    Enjoy the heights, must be a lovely feeling being about fourth in the league.

    He’s improved us in many basic areas, but the 5 at the back system doesn’t work with these players.

    17 goals conceded in his 6 league games. So it's not even like playing three CBs is making us more defensively secure. On the basis that we don't have a pair of quality WBs (KWP can't do it by himself), I would much rather revert to a back four and play one extra attacking player.

    Both Martin and Juric don’t understand how important it is to dominate the central midfield area in the premier league.

    Wont happen though with Juric. I’m not sure he has ever played with 4 at the back.

    If we do continue with it, please, please can we replace Bree with Wood?

    Im not convinced Bree is even Championship standard.

    What is your thinking about this @Rex Kramer. ??
