Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[AvFc4eVeR]

Lets just hope Sky don't put us on tv again on the grounds we get just enough points to scrape a 16th place finish.

It is truely desperate. So many players making individual errors which stems from a lack of confidence. It's time they got a fucking grip and got back to basics we need 12-14 points to stay in this league with the same amount of games. That should be the only focus now.

They should have double sessions and be working on positional sense, working in pairs, defending from frigging corners. No more hard luck stories don't let luck effect the game.

We are in real trouble and are sleepwalking to defeat after defeat.

I can't see us getting 2-4 points let alone those optimistic numbers

The most damning thing for me is we are now worse than we were the day RDM was sacked.

It's remarkable. For all this talk of a curse (and exactly how was this curse placed, incidentally?), how we have managed to get worse over the course of seven seasons while still spending a fuckton of money is staggering.

Definitely ligaments for Hogan. He went right over on it. At least 3 months I would think so that would be it for this season.

Considering it was from our corner and he was clearly in distress, it really was appalling that no-one went to him. Just a group of players thrown together with no identity and no togetherness. We are in serious trouble.

It's a very interesting point about no one seeing if Hogan was okay until Hutton came over.  Gary Thompson was raging about it on the radio.  The team spirit appears non existent.

Depressing (and mind boggling), but true.

[sickbeggar]

yep i would have quite happily given RDM the time to turn it around because  we looked good on occassions, but that was back in the days of "we must get back up this season, no matter what" and so the 'promotion specialist' was brought in. I dread to think what will happen if we give Bruce the time RDM should have got.

Huge no to Rowett, he's another backs to the wall hoofball merchant that can talk a bunch of tinpot nobodies up but would be totally out of his depth at a club where there was any meaningful level of expectation.  If he'd been at any other club in the championship playing the way he has no one would mention him but managing 6 miles down the road seems to be enough for some people to see him as an option.

As for Pearson I call bollocks on that, he took on a Derby side who were well placed for a run at the play offs without any of the baggage we had or the rebuilding needed and he completely fucked them up.  Shit manager, complete wanker and the 1 person we could employ that would make me walk away from the sport.

You can tell we're in trouble from that alone. Eleven individuals with nobody taking the lead.

Thankfully I was working. But I can just imagine how it went down. As it is burnt on to my retinas from previous games.

Without having read the thread (but knowing the score) we had most of the ball for about 30 minutes without doing anything of note. Then it got comical.

[pauliewalnuts]

Increasingly I am finding that the best way to handle this is just to care less.

I checked on the score twice this evening. It's all become so predictable. We go a goal down and you just know we're straight to trying to limit it to 2 or 3.

I just don't care that much anymore.

[Rico]

That performance had relegation written all over it!

[QuintonVilla]

We're going down.

Newcastle are crap and are top of this league which shows how poor it is.

The two goals were two of the most Villa goals you'll ever see.

Newcastle the quietest fans this season along with Ipswich. Heard more noise at Bescot.

I actually thought that we were the better team for the first 40 minutes controlling the game without creating any chances of note but yet again the defence ballsed it up and from then on we capitulated at the back, both goals conceded were rank shit.
Looked like we were going to concede more than we did in the second half, Bjarnasson was poo pity he wasn’t subbed before he was, and to cap it all off Hogan looks like he has a bad injury and Kodjia limping off. Can’t see where the goals are going to come from for the rest of the season.

Just glad we weren’t playing Sutton in the cup tonight.

We were the better team until the goal. Two of the most comedy of errors goals you will ever see. What about the penalty that wasn't? Was he offside? The rule changes every season.

Kodjia plays plays for himself and contributes little to the team although that has become more noticeable since the bad run started / he came back from Africa.

The defence can't defend and the forwards can't score goals. Other than that we look a good side.

Really should replace Prepared, it's the case so fucking often.

You do. You absolutely do.
