[S40BLADE]

Im getting slightly annoyed at signing some players and putting them in really uncomfortable positions. I understand that needs to happen somewhat with our playstyle being strange but seeing a pure defensive midfielder being forced into a attacking box to box role and in C. Robinsons case a talented winger played upfront is quite frustrating.

 

[Superblades]

Someone said the other day that they think this might end like the 17/18 season where we ran out of steam going for the play offs. The evidence so far suggests this might be the case.

It certainly feels that way.

 

[JayGreen17]

We need some invention and thrust in the middle, Mcburnie has been absent during the first haof, we need some pace and invention here to break teams like this down, id being on moose for McBurnie and Freeman for Berge

 

[Chabuddy G]

When did Norwood sign for Newcastle?

 

[CentralQuay]

poor defending that

 

[BigBed]

Now we're fucked!!!

 

[ekke287]

Egan off

 

[FriethBlade]

Egan caught out by ball over top again

 

[Chabuddy G]

embarrassing from Egan. He was given the runaround by Davis too.

 

[ekke287]

Second yellow

 

[true99blade]

Well this is interesting. Absolutely pathetic 1st yellow in the first half from the ref.

 

[Brownieblade]

Well it looks like it’s try and take a point then

 

[Kev Gee]

Egan sent off.
Saw that coming after his daft booking first half.

 

[Headshrinker]

See the pathetic first yellow proved costly.

 

[CentralQuay]

When did Norwood sign for Newcastle?

Berge looked like he had gone more central to me, and straight away he intercepted a pass and played a nice first time ball over the top.

 

[BettingBlade]

Fucking ref has done that for the yellow that never was in the first half.

 

[Blackestnite]

Harsh

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Idiotic challenge by Egan with Basham covering when on a yellow. Utterly needless.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I'm really not surprised to see Egan go. He can't deal with those balls in behind, doesn't turn well. He's come back rustier than most from the break. A deserved second yellow.

Himself & Henderson are out of the Man Utd game again.

 

[1973Blade]

Very very poor referee, not good enough for the Premier League. Totally out of his depth.

 

[Brownieblade]

If Restos has gone back then jags nexf week

 

[nickwr37]

Tough watching this. Mousset on plus Didzy.

 

[BettingBlade]

Very very poor referee, not good enough for the Premier League. Totally out of his depth.

Don’t think we can argue with the second yellow but agree he’s got no common sense.0

 

[true99blade]

Just thought our defence against Newton Heath is gonna be completely new.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Well it’s going to make the Man Utd game interesting no Egan, Henderson or potentially JOC.

 

[Kev Gee]

Pathetic.

 

[Sithblade]

What a fuck up

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Well that fucks things up somewhat!

 

[DroitwichBlade]

Unbelievable
