Time for Ruud to earn his money. We can’t get passed their press and our forward players are totally isolated.

No width and we’re being forced to bring Vestergaard and our goalkeeper forward because our midfield can’t be trusted to pass the ball.

[Ashley]

Bruno should be off. 

 

How on earth didn't he get booked for simulation?

Is Mavididi going to actually take a player on?

Holds onto the ball, won’t take anyone on yet also ignores VK who keeps offering the overlap.  
 

[TheUltimateWinner]

One of Hamza or Skipp needs to come off, not forward thinking players at all

 

Would drop Bilal back and bring on Buenonotte

[The Guvnor]

Outplayed as expected, it is what it is.

That’s as bad as anything under Cooper for me, lucky to go in only 1 down 

Yea i agree however Cooper had a fully fit squad.

 

We are missing 4 or 5, 1st team starters.

[Haywood_6]

We've created zero so far but still have to hope we have a good spell and can get an equaliser. It's only 1-0. Stay in the game for as long as we can.

Thought this myself. Not sure if he's short of confidence or what but a few times he's had a one on one situation and just passed it backwards

He wasn’t even particularly special in the championship, really need to bring in someone decent in January 

Completely agree mate. 
 

Bakayoko at PSV or Hadj Moussa at Feyenoord might be pipe dreams, but you’ve gotta pray, ain’t ya..? 

[Hales]

Good end to the half....still in it

 

Target Bruno......get him sent off

[sishades]

First the positives........

 

ok. Forget that!

[Pliskin]

Still in the game, to be largely expected really given our first choice midfield isn’t available. 
 

Skipp and Hamza just aren’t premier league quality, Skipp must be made of wood because everyone just bounces off him….. still we are in the game, Newcastle are being wasteful and we just need half a chance to get back level. I’d be delighted if we could sneak a point. 

[Mike Oxlong]

We are so abysmal that I remain optimistic that we will get a point

Our season won't be defined against teams like Newcastle away. It'll be what we do at home against teams like Wolves next week.

 

 

Maybe so, but we are playing Newcastle now. It’s a chance of picking up points. Shouldn’t just disregard it and neither should the players. 

[BillyFOX12]

We're shit and up against a dodgy ref, there's only one way this can go.

[RowlattsFox]

Really poor goal to concede. 

Always going to be a tough game with that midfield. 

 

Bilal only player showing for the ball. Away from home i don't feel Vardy helps when we are trying to get out. No runs into the channels or nothing. 

Too many limited at best footballers out there. 

 

I think we can get at them if we are a bit braver. Mavididi is hiding.

Who are you brining on for Hamza ffs

Someone that can hold onto the ball, 

 

bold tactic but for me facundo, if we don’t change it we lose anyway 

[JonesLCFC]

How has Bruno not been sent off there? If he didn’t get a yellow for simulation that is a honking decision. Clearest dive you will ever see. Disgraceful officiating.

Got to get the stepover count in before deciding what to do

Goes without saying but massively missing Ndidi and soumare. 

 

 

And Winks. The physicality of Ndidi and Soumare but we're missing Winks' ability on the ball. Both Skipp and Hamza don't have a decent forward pass in them. 

[AKCJ]

Jelly and ice cream when Hamza snaps Guimaraes.

I feel bad for VK. He's been an engine week in and week out. Lad gives his all every game. Reminds me of Okazaki, and Kante in work rate.

[steveb]

poor, except Mav, he was very very poor

No, but he is good enough to be third choice

Nah. Anyone is better than him. Even an attacking player or a defender.
