[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[oldboyroy]

Please Liverpool do us a favour by beating villa

 

[Bodian]

In the first half we looked like we’d lose 6-0

In the second half we looked like we might draw 2-2

Overall, 4-1 as a halfway house is probably about right

That needless second goal was a killer.

 

[Affy]

Positives:
Another goal for Undav
Offiah looks reasonable
Peupion minutes
A new highlights reel to show potential buyers for Caicedo so we can keep him next season
Encisco isn’t injured
No new obvious injuries
We still have a game in hand
After we lost against Everton we smashed Wolves

It’s the EPL, money talks. Eddie bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was able to play his favourite 11 costing £100m’s, including.

(Don’t be too hard amongst yourselves over the next few days. Bloom/RDZ are operating on relative buttons).

Yep No fiscal advantage there Whatsoever !
Sportswashing you say

 

[Zeberdi]

Jesus Christ this forum is depressing when we lose. Football fans are morons. Sorry, yes, a lot of you are morons. No offence, like.

Is it not obvious that we have a half-strength, absolutely knackered side playing in over-congested fixtures, to the extent that we are having to play teenagers, including debuts tonight, against a top 4 team away?

Well, I thought it was obvious, anyway.

Oh stop playing to the gallery for goodness sake and get over yourself - that’s several posts where you’ve made sweeping comments about the intelligence of your fellow NSCers - why don’t you read a few more posts and get a more balanced view of what most people have been saying for days - of course it’s fixture congestion, fatigue, injuries and a manager having to take calculated risks on who to play, for how long and when in order to get us into Europe.

We are not idiots!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I was actually impressed he got a foot to it… spread himself well.

You don’t save one on one’s or shouldn’t unless the forward fecks it up.

The issue was Van Hecke stepping up to play offside absolutely appalling decision at any level.

Deluded post.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Gutless performance to be honest. Our B team not great. We looked well short, result never really in doubt.

However, onwards.

Gutless? Don't be a tool.

Injuries everywhere. Exhausted players. Scraping the barrel for players on the bench. Against a team who have only lost twice at home.

That performance was many things, but not gutless.

Sod football, I'm watching Spinal tap . . . .

 

[Farehamseagull]

I have seen your view …just don’t agree

But more importantly, surely you saw the evidence on the pitch? Newcastle targeted him from the first minute and then just let him have the ball with as much time as he wanted in the second half when they realised he couldn’t do anything with it, it was blatently obvious.

What do you think he did well out of interest?

As I say, it’s not his fault. He’s not match sharp but clearly not at this level either. Colwill looked good enough from his first minutes on the pitch in the PL. Also not RDZ’s fault for playing him, we have no choice with our thin squad.

 

[zefarelly]

When was the last time Mitoma had a good game for us? Feels,like it’s been a while.

He's going through the 'Tross' phase

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

What’s the problem. RDZ rested players. Villa lose at Liverpool. We beat Southampton. Objective met.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Sometimes you have to play with those available and sometimes you have to adjust your game plan to compensate, we didn't.

Van Hecke got it wrong. If he'd have timed it right it'd have been a great decision. He got it wrong, but that's what happens when you're missing 2 centre backs.

Yep - thought he was poor tonight. Opinions I suppose as a post a few up days he was our best player…!

 

[Icy Gull]

That needless second goal was a killer.

All about having a player that can deliver quality from a free kick, ours are Sunday League ….or worse

 

[Bodian]

If we win this De Zerbi might as well give up, he's won football

He's still going to be with us! No giving up.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

He's a local lad who just helped his local side qualify for Champions League, any of us would have done the same.

Naahhh, he’s a big ol’ tit.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Did anyone honestly think we’d get something out of that game when the line up was announced and the players missing? Hands up!

Can you quote the whole of my reply not just one line
