Christmas Tree 4005 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Overall feeling positive. Anita very good. Seemed to lose our way without him. Dmemba looks very good. Lots of good possession but lacking a bit of end ball. Surprised we didn't give Aaron's a go late on and try and win it. Cracking 2nd goal from all involved.

strawb 3788 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thought Haidara was left isolated a lot by Obertan which didn't help, but obviously didn't play well. Anita was good playing in his proper position. Thought Sissoko was good as well. Colback offered nowt apart from two last ditch blocks, fair play to him on them though. Decent start and we looked a much better "footballing" side than last season, defence needs work & more signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6471 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 CT has company for the game.... Haidara improved as the game progressed though defensively he's still got a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Pleased with our attacking play as expected the defence needs reinforcing hopefully this will be addressed before the window closes. If we'd been a bit tighter at the back we would have had all 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9382 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Seems we were set up for the counter. Next 2 away games may provide opportunities for Aarons and Showboatan to stretch their legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Leave me alone, I've had a strange match day When I booked the tickets I was planning a 10am fry up in that cafe under the Tyne bridge, lots of alcohol and a balti pie. Due to a mare of a cold I had a banana, a costa cappuccino and found myself looking in a charity shop for a Hemmingway. It's like some sort of parallel universe.

Graing 15 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Good start to not see Williamson or Gouffran anywhere near the pitch. Still need a defender with some size in the back. Shame not to see Ayoze in, think he should be tried on the wing or try 2 up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3698 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Pretty much what I expected before the game, promising up front but susceptible at the back. Good to see some positive football, cracking second goal as well. Early days but Sissoko looks rejuvenated and Mbemba is quite possibly going to be a star. Sort out the defence and this could be a pretty decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20312 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Didn't see the game. Surprised to see obertan start and mitrovich on the bench. Sounds like defence is clearly still the weak link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Great show from the toon for 70 minutes. Anyone that denies it should ask Gemmill if they can stay in the back room. Massive massive plusses. It was a very tactical game, one in which there was only one team in it till last 20. We got the goal, then it was all them, but here we'll sort this out. So happy today.

NJS 4054 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Was out so haven't seen any of it but I'm both gratified andconcerned that he mentioned the 75 minutes in the build-up which shows he's on the ball but at the same time its his resposnsibility to ensure it wasn't a problem - using travelling to the US was a weak excuse imo. On the positive side everyone seems to have recognised promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
