    Unable to watch the game. Is it as bad as being made out or is it pessimism glasses?

    I can't ****ing wait until we get some quality in our back line and ditch the 3 CBs, it affects how much we can dictate and attack too much. Yoshie's distribution is a liability and JWP looks lost out at RWB today.

    Can't highlight anyone as being worse than anyone else. Fundamentally second best and no-one has really been able to stand up above it. It's the first element that needs to change, rather than the latter. Options are limited though, since we both need to wrest control of the midfield and provide enough threat to score at least two goals. Back five will probably have to go.

    Newcastle thoroughly deserve their 2-0 lead, put it that way.

    Peter Walton keeps talking.......make's me start thinking the opposite.
    I'd be shouting for a red if that was reversed.
    Probably just fired them up anyway.

    Not cataclysmically bad, just one of those days where we are second to the ball, and everyone needs a second too long on the ball, or miscontrols their first touch. Newcastle won't allow us the time to settle and rectify those things and are doing well to punish us.

    Yes of course. The amount of times, especially recently, we’ve been caught out, don’t have sufficient or wrong cover, is ridiculous.

    Yes they were a different team after that incident and the crowd were much more involved.

    I expect Ralph to make an impact at HT and I doubt if we will be as bad as that again *crosses fingers*.

    Naw, they were better than us before the JWP incident, which is why he had to foul in the first place.

    He's not great at explaining stuff. It was a moral red anyway, if not a legal one. Funny that the Newcastle work experience kid got sent off for complaining.

    Change shape. Get Shane on. Start asking questions.
    And an easter egg for whoever puts a heavy one on Almerion first! <laugh>

    Certainly agree with the first bit. I don’t want to single out players but we’re very poor at back & if we want to progress, Ralph has a lot of work to do.

    It was a counter attack from a corner, the game was pretty quiet before that.
