    Is it time to put him in at left back? This is no reflection on BDB as a player but I think a lot of teams are targeting him now as a weakness.

    Thoughts?

    Leave it the same for the beating we're going to receive on Saturday. I think Burn has been fine I just think this side doesn't have enough goal scorers.

    I don't think there's any solution to the main issues until summer.

    It's time to remember what it's like to lose games quite often for a while I feel.

    Targett has been injured so think Burn should start with Targett coming on in the 70th minute

    Surely you make a change based on the game not just a pre conceived plan based on what you think will happen.

    Yes but I don’t think EH has any ideas and giving Targett minutes on the pitch is a good idea. Or we could always bring on Murphy with 20 minutes to go when we’re 3 up

    It doesn't matter what he does if we get beat someone thinks they could've won playing a different formation or a player somewhere different .

    They'll get beat on Saturday whatever he does then they'll say it didn't work regardless of the opposition.

    Soo me putting on Targett after 70 minutes won’t make a difference in the match but improves his match fitness in preparation for the next game. Excellent. Glad you agree

    He won't be match fit being rinsed my mahrez for 20 mins but you could really damage his confidence.

    Think it's time to give Manq and Lacelles a run.

    I seem to recall saying this about the Liverpool game and unfortunately howe didn't have such foresight and lost the best keeper we've got for yesterday.

    Perhaps howe will learn from his error.

    They'll be getting a good hiding whatever he picks. I'd rest the lot, get this out the way without killing our best players confidence any further and go for it at home after that.

    I can sense a rough few months until May now.

    Everyone seems desperate to pin the blame on someone for a couple of iffy results when we have come from not winning a game for months on end and rooted to the bottom of the league to spending most of the season in the Champs league spots and beaten cup finalists where we gave it everything against a Man Utd team that are the form team in the country. But sure, Eddie's not got a clue, Burn is sh*te, Maxi is useless, Bruno let us down, the owners aren't serious bla bla bla

    Change of formation and personnel required apparently. The one that's seen us lose a massive 2 league games all season, coming off the back of a relegation scrap last season has been found out. Burn's now ****, Trippier is now ****, Schar is ****, Longstaff is ****, Maxi is ****, Miggy is ****, Wilson is **** and Howe is now ****, the coaching staff is ****, The tea lady is ****, the grass cutter is ****, the social media guy is ****, the bus driver is ****, the shop staff are ****, the burger bird is ****, the hot dog hound is ****, the madri maid is ****, the stewards are ****, the gallowgate pigeon's ghost is ****, the bogs are ****, the turnstyles are ****, the road at strawberry place is ****, the houses behind the east stand is ****, the tyne tunnel is ****, the A1 is **** and most of all Jarrow is without a doubt - **** <laugh>
