We did. We also stood there watching a lot. Everyone just walking around as Newport played it and ran it in the build up to their penalty. I'd happily sell the entire starting lineup for a tin of beans after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 You can't pick Fuchs, James and Okazaki cold for a game and expect a performance. Puel seems determined to get himself the boot. He DOES NOT learn. He WILL NOT learn. Nothing is going to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Agnew Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 A dark day in the Purl era. No excuses. I think the reason Puel splits fans’ opinion is because he is, on average, a mediocre manager. Not completely bad and not consistently good. Some great results, some woeful results. Some inspired tactical moves, some unfathomable decisions - all averaging out to plain old mediocre. I think he has done enough and earned enough points this season to guarantee our survival. Therefore he should be given until the end of this season - let’s see if he can build consistently and review it in May - ideally with a plan B lined up to prevent us slipping back during a prolonged transition period if we do need a change.

Why should he not be called out. Any team he put out today should have been capable of beating Newport today. The amount of chances we didn’t finish is a ****ing disgrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster the Fox Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 Ironically its the crapper players affected by their own ineptitude tonight. Puel won't have any games to pick them so that's 6+ months with no senior football.. Serves them right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game where we should have scored about 10 goals, even with the atrocious squad filler he's been handed. If we're signing the likes of Ghezzal I've not got much hope for the squad renewal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisnorbo fox Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 Alan shearer just topped it, Puel rested players in the quarter final of the caraboa cup, now in a cup we could actually have a good run in and is the most important domestic tournament he plays a load of chinless wonders who couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcbluearmy Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 The problem is Puel has no plan B against Cardiff we kept crossing the ball into the box with no joy but just kept doing it today just lump it up the pitch with no joy but just keep doing it no creativity no plan B and that is Puel’s problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it through We had 5-7 almost point blank opportunities, and we shanked them. Puel's team selection and tactics put this team in position to win 4-3, 5-2, but the players were arrogant and indifferent and poor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players were good enough to win that game.

Kopfkino Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 The players should have still won that but it's bordering blind apologism to say it's entirely on them. How many people pre match thought hey they could do us here cos of that line up. It's the complete wrong mentality. Matty James can barely ****ing run, Okazaki has had a good 15 minutes in the last year, hasn't scored for 33 games playing behind a player that hasn't scored for 15 games, bringing on King who hasn't played for us in a year when you desperately need a goal. Maybe the players lacked desire but the management hardly led from the front in that respect. Went into it with the wrong mentality and got exactly what we deserved, thinking we could play a bunch of players that have barely played with each other and who are out of form or not in our plans. Everyone involved should be embarrassed and carry the can for it, not just the players, not just the managers. **** off with your automatic must defend Puel. I've accepted he should get the season, that the results are plenty enough for him to keep his job despite the football so I don't see reason to hound him. But beat Chelsea=superb tactics from Puel, lose to Newport=all on the players that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorchester Fox Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 It just hurts doesn’t it? Newport fought for everything and we didn’t. Not many players coming out of that with credit but to my mind, Iheanacho should never play for us again . Our ponderous build up play is all because there was zilch intelligent movement or desire from him. I’m not blaming Puel for that one. That was about five or six players not being up for it. Football can be a shite game sometimes.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
