Dire. Stale. Slow. Predictable. One dimensional. Negative.
Need to change it. I'd take Paterson off & try Murphy up the middle (or Reid). We have pace but never use it. We never put the ball in behind the full backs. We never turn defences.
Anybody with a modicum of football knowledge could organise a team to stop us playing.

They've had it drilled into them so much about "keeping a line and shape" that they daren't think for themselves as a situation develops in front of them.

This.
At least if we go down without blowing the bank we will have done something.

Peltier was equally guilty earlier in the play. Conceded possession too easily, candy from a baby springs to mind

This is the problem and linked to what I said in the thread about lacking composure. Our players just aren't intelligent enough for the top flight.

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I don't think it's being negative its just the Fact that we are SHITE ..... We don't have a squad that can compete in the Premier League.
After last weeks performance and the first 45 minutes I honestly believe it'll take something special for us to stay up this season.
C'mon the lads

Paterson hasn't had any impact on this game so far, I agree with you, bring on Murphy.

And Ralls can get rooted!

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Very poor game between 2 very poor teams, same as last week, except we've conceded a very soft goal this week.
I still think Newcastle are shaky and could concede but we seem incapable of fashioning even half chances

Who's taking our long throws?

Bennett leading a charmed life ATM

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Bennett is an absolute liability

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
That guys face in the crowd when Rondon kicks the ball out of the play
I guess he thought it should have been a cross

2 - 0. We're going down by the sounds of it. No shape or penetration at all.

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I will be staggered if we score today. The last 150 minutes make us look like the worse team in the league

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The feckin marking is a shambles

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Bollocks to this. I’m going to switch channels and watch some Premier League football

Re: NEWCASTLE UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Ralls completely out of his depth too.
Hard to be optimistic here, we are making them look a good side.
We are in trouble alright.
Where is that side that looked so good against Leicester? :shrug:

We are the worst team in the league unfortunately. No quality at all, can’t create, can’t pass, can’t defend, can’t score.
Warnock has done an incredible job with a mid table championship team but I can’t see us finishing anywhere but bottom now.
