Palace are poor. We played Burnley and hammered them but still didn’t win. Leeds could have beat us by 3/4 goals if they scored (like us yesterday) and are better than us. Watford we played well but didn’t win. Southampton will start to turn the draws into wins. Starting today. Norwich have had a rotten start to the season but are probably going to be like Sheff Utd. Wolves look poor but I reckon will sack the manager soon. All in all I agree there are probably 3 worst teams than us and if that’s the target (for the takeover) then ok I accept that but only for the takeover. But in general I do not accept the poor state of things. And I do not accept Bruce. If we drop into the bottom three in the next couple of games I expect him to be sacked. The Christmas period looks grim.
The thing is though I can't see us realistically beating anyone whereas all those other teams have already won a game or I can see them winning
Well palace and Wolves. Both away but winnable. Brentford at home but they look tidy. We have to beat someone at some point and they (Wolves and Palace) are both in my mind poor teams. But they are away. Seriously we could win any but realistically these are the only teams I’m expecting points from. It looks grim.
But specifically why not say which games you expect results from? Come on play your cards. Your good at retrospectively saying you told us so. So how’s your chance!
It's football nufc can win any of them! Every team has good players and it's fine margins. That's the thing you take one game at a time. Newcastle are unbeaten in 2
Do what we're 17th. Take it week by week... Recognise the improvement yesterday. It's not easy to win in this league and it'll come... It should've been yesterday. We had 50% possesion which is something you along with most fans have been moaning about, so why not just focus on the positives. Do you think the other struggling clubs fans are feeling great
Wasn't his fault yesterday at all. If that was rafa nufc fans would be blaming the players. Bruce's right it's not balanced and I established that when they continued to be unpleasant when the side was doing very well. He's not a great manager if like a good one, but that won't happen. I hope they play like they did yesterday again next week.
Can you confirm the formation or identity that we used yesterday? Not a loaded question, I’ve just no desire to watch until Ashley’s gone/dead.
I’m not “moaning” I’m stating facts. I have stated a positive. We played better. I also didn’t blame Bruce for the missed opportunities. But you need a reality check mate. We played Watford. We didn’t win and we had 50% possession and not many more chances so if day it was an even game. And you have said they where poor. Yet we didn’t win. We didn’t have more possession and we had 2 more shots on target.
They played 4 at the back and max was up front on his own which didn't work too well.. They had to play rather than punt it. I thought almiron was outstanding yesterday... Joelinton can definitely play side left he did well... Longstaff had his best game for years and has given me food for thought with my criticism. Manquillo was tremendous once again and should never have lost his place. I honestly don't know how they didn't score 4 or 5 yesterday but their keeper has a good game too.
