was a struggle to watch that, highlights need for a quality striker as I fear DCL is injury prone. And a creative spark in the mid. Also, technically should Oliver have actually stopped play during added time? They had the chance to put ball out and played on, and it wasn’t a head injury.

Big momentum shift! 2 W’s in a row, and finally a win on the road, picture is a pretty damning stat!

Never thought i’d see you and that sentence put together! I wanted to say it, but would be typical of me to do so and then he has a costly error!

Pickford! take a bow

I think he already has since he’s signed, although potentially some of his earlier performances you can count the effects of new surroundings and whats happening to his home.

My thoughts on it are, he was spoken to afterwards by Kevin Friend which means that Friend saw it, if he thought it was violent conduct he could/would have dismissed him. Part of the reports say they are waiting to see what is reported by the officials and him getting a talking to means they must have seen it. It was a brain fade brought on by passion and adrenaline, I wouldn’t be against seeing him get a fine but shouldn’t be banned, its only suprisingly kopites, leeds and burnley supporters calling for him to be banned, wonder why

looked like friendly fire to me what your thinking of

Its our typical season so far, break the drought with an amazing W, then follow up with rubbish and get what we deserve. Too many fragile minds, though I much rather lose this game after beating the toon than losing to newcastle and progressing in this cup

Anyone pick up on the Zaha blatant handball supposedly just before the 2nd goal?

Mina (x2) and Dom should have done better with their chances, even Douc’s when on the break with his ball for Richy I think it was, the ball should have been better and we’d been 1 on 1. Looked to be more passion and fight for the shirt, expect that when Dunc leading, lacked a bit of quality and end product. We were touch unlucky their goal, Pickford doesn’t touch it then Townsend should have cleared, but big questions on looked as though 2 let a fairly short player run like that and get free. Pickford looks to have matured a fair bit this year, could we credit Ramsdale pressuring his England spot? Hard to say if encouraging or more of the same as previous, after Newcastle game we’ll know how seriously in trouble we are.

Part of me thinks the reason we held off sacking RB through that horrible run was knowing the pool of potential replacements was slim pickings. That an Moshiri would have been dying to give it a chance to work seeing it was his decision in the hope he didn’t end up with egg in his face. I like Potter, think hes a good english manager that will go on to manage a top 6 English team, unfortunately I think we missed the boat completely in trying to bring him in and have no chance of that now. Rooney, inexperienced but would give it all, demand alot and is currently learning in probably an environment that will teach him way more about management than any other club in the Championship. I want to see him have a successful management career and we are a move too soon for his, but saying that I’d prefer him to big Dunc rest of season. Bobby Brown Shoes, many say he kicked off the shitshow of our club, yet, he was never given the money to spend and worked more to the old budgets we had, and what money he spent, was actually pretty well invested with Rom an example that we pulled a big profit on. He just lacked very much in def and was a bit too stubborn, who knows times change and he might do it differently if comes back. Personally i’m quite torn on it all as to who we get, but if we are signing a manager now, and not an interim etc, whoever it is MUST be the right manager for this great club, be prepared to bleed blue and be here for the next 3/4/5 years minimum, no pressure hey.

I said this to my brother. not against the business side to selling Digne, but would have loved that to come in the summer where at least half a season you had 2 options

Don’t look like they want to be though. Things stay the same they won’t be either.

Maybe the effort of Gordon and Gray trying to create something

Even with getting players back from injury, we are horrible to watch and so predictable in our play, what will the excuse be tonight
