Eddie Howe, the god-like genius, and his injury-ravaged sausage-shaking title contenders v some tin pot club on the south coast

[Holden McGroin 5021]

Struggling all over the pitch. Lewis Hall isn’t quite ready yet defensively. You can see why Eddie has been holding him  back.

[Dazzler 5723]

The way these are playing here if we had a full squad we'd be 3 up by now. They are defensively suspect, but we don't have the quality on the pitch to exploit it, it seems.

[Gemmill 35303]

Solanke looks in bother.

[Renton 17985]

Funny thing, I used to hate the international break cos there's no decent club football and fuck internationals. But now I look forward to them just so our players get a break and some injuries/suspensions back. Ridiculous.

Good, he's murdering us. 

[trophyshy 6441]

Piss poor this. 

[OTF 6307]

We really need something different up top to Gordon. He's not strong enough to retain the ball back to goal against premier league central defenders. Unfortunately that doesn't exist on our bench. Honestly is Chris Wood was still in our squad he'd have started today.

 

Thanks once again FFP.

So true.

[Holden McGroin 5021]

You know things are bad when you are gutted Chris Wood doesn’t play for us anymore.

[Gemmill 35303]

Alan Smith proving he has no idea how fatigue works when he says "Newcastle WILL get better in the second half".

 

He seems to think our bench of all the talents will help us out.

[spongebob toonpants 3640]

I'll tell you what, I'm not surprised they stopped that Semenyo being a runner, she looks rough as old boots

[Holden McGroin 5021]

In honour of Eddie’s two year anniversary we’ve time travelled back and let Steve Bruce manage the team.

I don't think Eddie will be too unhappy with that. Realistically speaking he'll be hoping to stay in the game and hope to knick a goal somewhere. 

 

We look absolutely drained. Willock needs to do more. And Joe is wasted up top. Longy looks absolutely battered too so at some point I'd seriously consider putting the academy lad on and taking longy off with Joe moving back on the middle of the park. 

[Tdansmith 2209]

Lucky to be 0-0 at half time. 

I'd take a draw right now, injuries have caught us up big time.  

[wykikitoon 16950]

Apart from Miley our midfield has been flat

Nice to have Alan "Ambien" Smith taking the edge off.

 

This game with Alan Smith on the mic....

 

[Toonpack 6997]

Well our C team beat Man U, this is our F team AND they’ve got to contend with Gloom’s pheonix shite. Always going to be a big ask.

[MrBass 2293]

Who started this match thread again?

 

[Howmanheyman 27367]

Don't want to pick him out but hall has looked out of his depth, doesn't look ready yet. I know they're knackered but we really need it to stick a bit more up top.

Bite your hand off for a draw here. Think we are going to be stuck like this til after Xmas.

[Ayatollah Hermione 12863]

Still think there’s a decent chance we Shithouse this. It feels like a game with one goal in it and I do feel that Livramento’s introduction might help us quite a bit. We’re struggling to keep the ball and when we get it, we’re forcing it when we don’t need to. If Howe is brave enough, maybe one of the children will win it

Who is taking over from yet another disaster from Gloomy?
