Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[supertom]

Lerner made the change too late. Failing to beat Sunderland and Palace, and losing to Leicester, cost us dearly. He should have changed it before Christmas. I truly don't know whether Sherwood is any good or not, but he hasn't been given enough games to change us - I'm surprised he took the gig tbh. Other teams losing means we aren't cast adrift but we simply can't score. Really think we're down now.

Missing out on Pulis will ultimately kill us. West Brom conversely will stay up comfortably. Back when he took them over they looked woeful. The switcharound has been painful to watch.

May not be mathematically down, but the players look like they've mentally accepted relegation.

Albion will absolutely murder us on Tuesday.

Today was the day I lost all hope.

We're doomed.

This 😡

Can anyone think of a more stupid forward pair than Gabby and Andy. Everything they do is poorly executed or a really thickie thick decision. The dumb and dumber of premier league forward lines. I hate the pair of them.

[pauliewalnuts]

Is that seven defeats in a row  now?

We're fucked, and it will be directly attributable to the absolutely abysmal "leadership" of the man at the very top. The man has proved himself to be totally and utterly out of his depth both sides of the atlantic, in two different sports.

Would anyone be surprised if we lost another seven matches in a row now?

I honestly wouldn't. We are just so utterly feeble and brainless, and we are showing nothing like enough to inspire confidence that we are getting better.

Pathetic.

I did used to think any manager other than Lambert could get this shower winning. But they can't, can they? This squad is fucking dreadful, and even the players that are slightly better than average look lost. There are no positive signs - we went one up against Sturk and lost, meekly. We should have scored today, went one behind, and lost, meekly.

Last season, we went down by two to the Boggies, twice, and managed to get draws. I reckon if you gave me odds of a billion to one on us doing it on Tuesday, I wouldn't put a beat-up bob on it.

These players will be relegated, because they're an awful, nothing side. They wear Villa shirts, but fuck off if you think they're Aston Villa.

How does Sherwood turn this around?

By bringing on Zog

[Stu]

Never mind the hook.  There should be a picture of Lerner on the left, pushing.

That's pretty much my opinion. With all the money swilling about the league, how we're managing to struggle so much, season after season, is down to negligence at the top.

You know what, I am in full agreement, and yes, 'hate' is the right word.

[Boz]

With a -24 goal difference and 4 points adrift of Hull and  3 off Sunderland, we need more than a miracle now.

There was improvement of sorts but needed a minimum of a draw today. Lerner's investment is losing value rapidly, he needed to speculate to accumulate and he will pay a heavy price if he wants to still sell.

Don't worry,  some on here think we'll get another 10-15 points easy.

They're a team full of Ashley Westwoods. Real nice guys, but shit.

It was so Lambert-esque today. Gabby starting despite being fuck awful all season. Then we hear those immortal words "Andi Weimann is about to come on."

Fucking brilliant.

I never want to see them in a Villa shirt again. Pathetic. I could say the same about half of our squad, maybe more.

[PaulWinch again]

We're going down, because we cannot score. Tuesday is now must win.

[Monty]

Gabby and Weimann both got a good go, again, and they were both as shit as last week. Gil nowhere, even though he and Sinclair have been all we've got since January.
