I'd probably agree with this TBH. We should just stick him alongside Lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarmanNWC Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The weird thing about this stage of the season is that so many people flap or clap too quickly. newcastle lost their first game last season and took a while to get going and won the league. But I guarantee that one of three things will happen; 1) we win and many will be saying this is the beginning of the resurgence and HMSPTL is off on sail at last. 2) we lose and the place goes into meltdown calling for CC's head, the immediate sale of FF and JR for whatever we can get and that we are relegation bound unless all this happens. 3) we draw and people argue with each other over the value of the result until we either sign a CB or match day v Fulham hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference here is that the club have set the fans expectations rather than the other way around. Newcastle expected their team to be at the top of the table and running away with the league. Our manager and players have all been giving it the talk. Carlos has mentioned that the team needs to set off strongly and that we cant afford another slow start to the season. It just seems to be so much talk coming from the coach and the players and none of them are backing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Christ. Our midfield of plod + plod + plod + plod are going to be up against some dynamic twats who weren't good enough for the Premier league. It's going to be embarrassing. I hope am wrong I really do.

To be fair not wetting the bed but tonight for me is almost must win. 1 point from 3 games is poor after what Carlos said about getting off to a good start this season. He has to go if we lose IMO, just has too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan93 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 People talk about our strikers and defence, but the midfield is the key IMO. It was the key to getting to Wembley! We need to provide crosses, press and challenge for first and second balls. We need to WANT the ball in space and don't be scared in possesion. That will take pressure off defence and give strikers something to go on. Abdi needs to get at least 20 minutes tonight, surely? But what will CC go for? Hutch is a liability, Jones is a joke and Bannan is 50/50 amongst fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm going for both teams to start slowly without a serious threat on each goal in the first half except for a calamatous error from Pudil at centre back sending us 1-0 down. Wednesday to show more purpose in the 2nd period as Carlos 'achieves' an equaliser after his players show more henergy. Immediately afterwards CC makes 2 like for like replacements and finally takes whoever our biggest threat is off the pitch for Big Dave to a chorus of boos from a minority. 1-1 written all over it, off to the bookies now before a few jars and taking my seat.
