adios 717 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I thought we'd broken Brighton but they couldn't fail to beat Rotherham could they? Aye, we'll have to see how they go over the next few matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sounds like he set up for a point tonight. 7 points and only 2 conceded in those games can't be sniffed at really, although would have liked to push on and win tonight aswell.

Noelie 103 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I would appreciate it very much if the gentlemen/wankers who exalted Rafa's game plan against Huddersfield would clue me in to what his plan was today against Reading, thank-you! I'm certainly very glad we didn't lose but it seemed like we very nearly did, and according to the commentators we did not play well and Reading had the most procession.

Dr Gloom 19737 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We're going to win the league. If you can't enjoy this, why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I bother because I'm a long-time Newcastle supporter who's seen highs and lows for a long long time. Relegated from the 1st. Division more than once, nearly relegated to the 3rd. Division once, relegated from the Premier league twice. But then, 3 FA Cups, Fairs Cup, Texaco Cup, quite a few promotions, but never won the top league which I'd like to see before I reach my expiration date(which must be close) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 When Keegan promoted us in 92/93 we only won 3 games from the 11 up to game 36. Imagine how angry Noelie would have been! #keeganout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6129 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Can't believe you left out the Intertoto Cup Noelie. I'd imagine the look on Parker's face holding that trophy mirrors the look on yours after witnessing a unimpressive victory or worse a 0-0 draw on the road.

rogerbarton 24 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Let's look forward to a very tricky game against Fulham at the weekend now. Defeat there & the hard work is undone (well, sort of). I wonder how Rafa will set the team up - it's fair to say we've been pragmatic in these three games which won't fly in that one. All in all, we'd have taken 7 points & if we'd had to choose one draw it'd have been this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12447 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) We've played 3 games in 7 days, all 3 teams are in the top 5 and away from home, we won 2 and drew 1 how is that not good Noelie? We can't win every game man let alone traveling all over the country playing 270 minutes of football against 3 of the top 5 teams in a week we didn't concede a single goal from open play and scored 5, we're still top and now get to play a few weaker teams.

Noelie 103 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I think what bothers me most is that we don't play good football often enough, even when if we win. Of course I'm happy when we win but am still bothered if it wasn't by a good football display. If we play a good game and lose, I'm irked but not really bothered. A lot of my bother comes from games we should have won but didn't, especially against bottom teams. Huddersfield had 78% of possession, Reading had 70% of possession, and that bothers me even if we win or draw.

Lackie92 1 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We'd have all taken 7 points from 3 games before we played any of these matches. Still 3 points clear with a superior goal difference so can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield had 78% of possession, Reading had 70% of possession, and that bothers me even if we win or draw. I think when we appointed Benitez I knew we were going to have to get used to "functional" football. After years of shite since Robson, I'm now happy just to see competence and practicality lead to modest success and possibly the holy grail of a cup. I think once we're stable (or as stable as we can be under Ashley) there'll be pressure on him to up the style factor. All assuming he stays of course.
