Fair point. I suppose we played our best football under Poch and Koeman playing that formation.

He doesn’t look to have exorcised RussBall from the team. We were plodding again yesterday, playing sideways and backwards with very little movement off the ball. The only sprint I can recall was second half from Fernandes that got us a corner. It’s his job to improve this, a really tough task. It got worse yesterday. So for me, that was a step back. Also hate the formation. 3 at the back, and ok, occasionally Bree or THB would venture forward, but Aribo would just sit if they did. Our midfield gets overrun every week. Would love to see us go back to 4-2-3-1. Armstrong and Smallbone were horrendous down the left side. You would think that Juric would have had enough time to size his players up, yet he still plays them. I’m don’t give a fuck how many yards Armstrong runs, he rarely wins the ball back, and in possession and in front of goal he is nowhere near good enough. Manning is like the invisible man when we get attacked down our left. He is all over the place. I never expected Juric to keep us up. I do expect more application from the team and better tactics than we are getting at the moment though. Also, Danny Rohl is not Brian Clough, he used to hold Ralph’s clipboard.

Let’s go 4 at the back. Today, we had 3 centre-half’s and Jo Aribo sitting in there as well. Ridiculous.

Would have hurt more if she did. It was embarrassing.

We were never going to beat Newcastle playing walking football. The amount of times we go sideways and backwards is infuriating. And it’s because the whole team are a bunch of fucking lazy cunts who don’t want to run. I left on the Smallbone for Big Les substitution. Fucking abysmal. The most exciting thing today was the fight that broke out in my block (5). In saw a punch thrown that my 90 year old mother-in-law could have stood up to 😂.

And how many points do you think Danny Rohl would get this season with our squad? It was always going to take time to turn this shit around. I would take Juric over any Doogie Howser PowerPoint muncher any day of the week.

Can we just sign a fucking player that would walk into the first team.

Couldn’t give a fuck. They knew the weather was coming and should have travelled yesterday.

The cynic in me says that Ramsdale and Sulemana are a pair of sick notes just like Downes. The cynic in me says that Sulemana has done enough on the last few games to put himself in the shop window to get his move - not bothered about the club one bit, and doesn’t want to risk himself any further. I may be way off the mark here, but Downes and Ramsdale have only just come back from fairly routine injuries (dead leg, broken finger) that took far too long to get over. Both have been disappointing this season.

Didn’t do Grealish a lot of harm.

The agent has absolutely nothing whatsoever with whether the player chooses to sign a new contract or not. He simply does not have that authority.

Bet Danny Ings is pleased about that.

Downes was infuriating in the first half, kept playing backwards like he was on autopilot when there were better options. He was a fraud of a footballer in that first half. He didn’t fancy it and looked to me like he was trying to get himself sent off or force the manager to sub him. Throwing yourself around, and making challenges like his on Gibbs-White does not show heart. To me, it shows the opposite.

Best YouTube I’ve seen since Stevie De Ridder.

Not just the goal, although he was culpable, more his all round play. Doesn’t fancy it today. Will get subbed or sent off. Wanker.

Flynn Downes is a fucking fraud of a footballer. Does he ever pass the fucking ball forward?

Odd that Big Les and Sulemana aren’t playing after their performances on Thursday. Glad Archer is getting his chance, not so enthusiastic about Downes and Armstrong though.

Is it on tv?

I was wrong about Aribo. As poor as he was against Brentford he has been really good since. He put a good shift in yesterday and I preferred him in the middle to Flynn Downes. I was also wrong about Sulemana. I am wrong about most things to be fair, as my ball and chain often reminds me.

Good point. In all seriousness, we are starting to improve under Juric. I reckon a league win isn’t far off, especially if we can get a couple of players in. The team needs to cleanse itself of RussBall though. Maybe get a priest in to perform some sort of exorcism.

We’ve got our football team back. Good half of football.

He’s been fucking shit since Bobby Ball died. That bloke carried him for years. Not for me I’m afraid.

Was thinking the same thing.

He is so full of shit it’s untrue.
