Steve Down South

My mistake, I thought someone might have an interesting point to make, rather than just wittering on about how poor the commentary was.

I’ve no idea why some of us get so wound up about something so trivial. I doubt most people would pay so much attention to the commentary if the team were able to put on a half decent performance.

So what have other people seen to suggest that we can put together a good run of results? I can quite easily see us losing the majority of those home games.

What does that even mean? One of the reasons we are so poor is our inability to convert chances. Last time I looked we don’t get any extra points for missed opportunities. Our performances this season have almost all been very poor, haven’t seen anything to suggest we are headed in the right direction since Moore took over.

No excuses, that was garbage. 4points dropped in last 2 games, mid table mediocrity beckons.

Well at least that’s given me a good laugh!

Shocking for 30 minutes, followed by slight improvement. Will never have a better chance of taking 3 points from a losing position. That said, I’ve no real faith that we can turn things around against a very ordinary team.

I agree, highly unlikely he would join our rudderless club. On the off chance he fancied a challenge then I wouldn’t hold his time out of management against him, it’s not like he’s totally out of touch with the game. I think we both know this won’t happen, but it would be interesting be while it lasted. Keane is an intelligent man who I believe still has something to offer and always set the highest standards for himself and his team-mates. I haven’t totally given up hope that Moore can get the team moving in the right direction, but the signs are not promising. Maybe the suggestion of Keane is an over-reaction to some disappointing results, but he just might be the sort of character to sort this club out. In reality, I fear we are doomed to more seasons of League One mediocrity under Chansiri.

Really? I’m no fan of Moore and very unimpressed with most of our current squad, but have certainly experienced far worse feelings than today. Maybe that’s because I’ve grown to expect us throwing away 2-0 leads against poor teams.

Another vote (in slight desperation) for Roy Keane from me. We seem to be the epitome of unprofessional and spineless. Can’t ever accuse Keane of being either of those things so might as well go for broke and give him a go, assuming he’d be in the slightest bit interested. As things stand, we’ve found our level and nothing will really improve whilst ever Chansiri runs the show.

Excellent post, underlying performances have been so poor and do nothing to suggest we are on the up, regardless of results.

So are you suggesting fans shouldn’t highlight a poor performance if the team win? I think everyone knows if we play every game like today then we certainly don’t go up. The underlying performances are very poor and far more likely to see us finish in mid table at best.

Assuming that means Bannan and Hutchinson in the middle of the park - will we ever learn?

I wouldn’t be happy at all, expect there are a few Geordies who feel a bit conflicted right now. Unfortunately the ‘success at any cost’ culture in football means many won’t care less, and the game is worse for it. On a related matter, over 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the country was inexplicably awarded the World Cup - I think the fact that England will be participating in that tournament is a disgrace.

I would say they’re entitled to expect a half decent game of football from time to time. It’s a long time since I’ve enjoyed watching us play - surely not too much to ask for is it?
