To be honest, Col I don't think it really mattered, they are so much better than us. What does matter is why they are so much better than us? (I am not defending JFH, by the way, I am quite convinced that he hasn't got a Scooby)
We dont have enough good players and JFH is another manager we should not have taken in the first place...
Jimmy wanted a high intensity play higher up the pitch. This set up screams surrender from the start. We don't play counter attacking football. Newcastle must have looked at the team sheet and gone they are afraid of us
Some simple words - Washington?? Simply not good enough. Forget how many chances he's had. Rant over.
Bollocks ! We've got Sandro,and he's not even in the ****ing squad ! This tools picked a team with no cohesion and no aspiration,and boy is it showing. If your gonna go down,go down ****ing fighting !
Isnt Yeni a striker? FFS play two up front......imo should play 2 up every home game..who wouldnt mind us losing when we make chances and its exciting rather than JFH's frightened to take chances mentality...
On the positive side, we are only two down at half time. We have been known to recover 5 goals in the 2nd half
Sorry but that's ****. He's been given absolutely nothing,our midfield has been pathetic. A striker's only as good as the service given to him,we could have Pele playing up top and it wouldn't be making a difference. In that half we had 2 shots and they had 15,and we're at home ffs ! I'm stood here watching this tripe,and this is down to team selection,tactics and desire, and we have none of any of them !
They've had 15 shots on 5 on target in first half............I won't say how few we've had but it's less than 3 and more than 1 in total....... Need to score next to have any chance.........stating the bloody obvious
