Guest RocketOwl Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 As was my birthday weekend my girlfriend came to the game as well as my mum with my dad. It was frustating game lacking any passion or excitement. That in turn made the atmosphere like a morgue. My gf came to Newcastle last season when we won 2-0. She made reference to how different the atmosphere was. There is a feeling of apathy setting in, it's like we as fans have become almost acceptant of the dross we are being served up. I certainly don't think it's acceptable: My gf and mum both mentioned why did we have no pace, why do our players seem to be coasting along and why does our team play it backwards so often. Dare I say they also commented on one of our strikers looking like he's never played football before. What I think makes this season the more frustating is we are 9th now and still just two points off the top 6. It's there to be attacked. I think there is an issue with our manager. Why go to Villa and dominate. Bannan was further up and we played with aggression. Saturday Bannan was on Loovens toes again and that made no sense . I guess my main thoughts now are would we have won that game with FF. I believe the answer is yes. We lack his unpredictability and creative edge. If we can be within distance of the top 6 once he's back we still have a very good chance. I just feel like the fans deserve better. With 5 minutes to go none of our players showed any speed or pro activness at getting the ball forward to try and score. We are just bang average.

Miffed Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 We had a spell towards the end of the second half where we looked like we were going for it ...... only lasted for about 10 minutes tops, but during that time the atmosphere started to lift. The dull boring football has set the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just intersting that someone who doesn't watch a lot of football can see the glaringly obvious yet our manager cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper did have a poor game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't mention the part played by the opposition. They came for a point and defended well. Think you're correct that FF would probably have been the difference between 1 point and 3. His absence Is underestimated by many on here imo. Edited November 19, 2017 by Muffin Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pin pointed our main threats of recent games as being Reach and Butterworth as the main suppliers for Hooper and Rhodes. Then they played tactics to negate that threat. Well played indeed.

If they came for a point then God knows what we turned up for and I'm starting to wonder why I bother turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
