They looked the more likely of the two teams to score. 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.

The trouble was we played not to lose and didn't create much against a well organised defence,  even when we had them on the back foot late on in the game we didn't maintain the pressure tip tapping the ball around and allowing their defence to settle. I'm afraid Carlos isn't going to change his tactics so we can expect more of the same I like you wonder why I bother to turn up and probably wouldn't if I didn't live close to the ground.

First time in a long long time that I’m having to force myself to go. 

 

Every Home game this season I’ve thought can I be arsed spending my afternoon watching this rubbish. No enjoyment for me at the moment 

So you were able to enjoy the Irvine torpor?  And not this?  

 

Come on.  Tone down the histrionics.

 

Yes.  Zero shots on goal is inexcusable.  But utterly shocked at the lightweights claiming to finally pack it in over this.

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. 

Stopped reading when you used the 'A' word (attack) , you know it's banned in the corridors of hillsborough !

Just intersting that someone who doesn't watch a lot of football can see the glaringly obvious yet our manager cannot.

True fella, just trying to lighten the mood, it’s a sad indictment and it’s almost (like you say) that we’ve accepted this is now the norm, the over riding feeling is nowts going to change in the short term.

 

Happy B’Day btw

 

Also is her mother a milf?lol
