Newcastle (A) verdict

[SuperGran]

Now that’s a meet up I’d like to have joined. Two people on the Mix I have a lot of time for.

That’s like one of your parents admitting they have favourites

 

[TelfordWolf]

We are safe in the league 100%
Prioritise the cup
Fulham in good form, do we need more injuries?

PSR means we will sell someone each season for the foreseeable. Next season looks like Neto. Guess who is his agent? Mr Mendes. The wheels have come off our season. Not much we can do about it without our best players.

Big Sam in before it's too late.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Because they told us we will be within PSR by £2.7m if the worst case scenario plays out which is us finishing 17th.

We won’t finish 17th. So we’ll be a lot better off.

How do at least 83m surplus on player trading plus removal of several high wage earners from the squad amount to a 2.7m margin.

Surely the 2.7m claim, if it has any reality at all, relates to the position at the end of 22/23, which was determined back in January this year, when the Premier league decided who had breached the rules for the previous period, (which actually included 4 seasons).

[Thank you Sir Jack]

I’d be sacking the mechanics, the amount of times our wheels have fallen off this year.

Check your nuts is always sound advice.

 

[Mutchy]

Bloody hell. I want a dna test!

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Exactly, he did well at the start. Then there were more “football” people around……

They move on, he takes on their role and boom…..

Non football man making decisions.

Which “football men” role did he take on?? I can only remember like for like replacements

 

[wolfslair]

Two out of their three goals down to extremely poor defending. The first goal a lucky deflection to Isak. Thought we showed a lot of fight and had decent chances in the second half, notably Sarabia. Lads fought to the end. Not too disappointed given all that, enforced changes today and other key players missing. There's a lot left to fight for this season. Oh by the way, well done to Manny Singh for what he has done. Walking all the way to Newcastle. The man's not human! UTW!

You can’t fault the effort after a bloody demanding week for the lads and not enough strength in depth to allow them a rest or subs to save energy.

The fact we have lost Gomes, hwang and potentially Neto in one week shows that the squad isn’t deep enough and we are starting to get “over use” injuries.

Can’t fault the lads, when your knackered you make mistakes and yesterday’s performance screamed one of a team who were running on empty!

Blame the structure not the players or manager for yesterday.

The lads played well and fought hard, just for the first time in a while we got punished for the mistakes/lapses in concentration that we we hadn’t in the previous games, but that is the premier league. You make mistakes, expect to conceded a very good chance or a goal.

The lads tried hard and give up and that is all you can ever ask, regardless of the score line!

 

[wolfslair]

Fair enough, I thought when some people left from the management team from the championship season, he took their role on.

If I am wrong my point is invalid so forgive me on that one.

 

[Minimalist]

Apologies if this has been covered and I missed it, but was there an explanation for Sa being substituted?

The last 50 games

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Big Sam in before it's too late.

We’re safe and Oneil admired him so he’s a future candidate when Gary gets poached 100%

 

[Supadavewolf]

Yes, according to the commentary from the app, he had a deadleg. Should be fit for next week, according to Tom King, the 3rd choice keeper who joined in the commentary.

 

[wwbug]

Genuine advice @jos never worry about anything you can't influence, just enjoy a better season non of us anticipated.

It's very frustrating being a football fan. You care a lot but cant influence much at all .

A Chelsea fan phoned up talksport last week and wanted big Sam in at Chelsea. He's in high demand.

Sometimes old school managers get short term results

I doubt he will get another job now age is against him and the warnock types

Who else is out there?? Jesse March lol exactly not many good coaches available. Let’s enjoy Gary while he’s here.

JL Would love it at Chelsea

They don’t see him as big enough name

He could be waiting a while

 

[Dingle Chris]

They don’t loose many at home, they’re getting all their players back and we’re loosing ours. It is what it is I won’t get to down best about it.

Gary is here for quite a while, but eventually will move on however not for a good period.

We will back him ,trusts those around him and understands reputations are made over 3-4 years rather than one.

Has a good relationship with the non playing staff which not all previous managers have had

We have to hope he doesn’t get poached. Liverpool or England come knocking could be a different story let’s hope that doesn’t happen

More like off the deep end…..

Amorim is next on the shopping list if they cannot get alonso

 

[WolvesinBrum]

Can’t take any risks with Neto’s or Gomes’ hamstring next week.

Probably looking at something like:

Bentley
Kilman, Bueno, Toti
Semedo, Doyle, Lemina, Traore, RAN/H Bueno
Sarabia, Fraser/Bellegarde

I agree - wrap the players who are risks or need a rest in cotton wool.

I'd take Lemina out too and even Semedo another rest.

 

[SuperGran]

Amorim is next on the shopping list if they cannot get alonso

Man Utd are pretty keen on him also

 

[Golden Arrow]

I say this with the utmost respect for our current coach, that I don't feel at this moment in time that he has the pedigree to be called on by a team such as Liverpool (that's not to say he wouldn't be in the future of course).
I would say that Villa fans would have more reason to be concerned than us right now.

 

[wolfslair]

Ten Haag is a dead man walking……

 

[giantwolf]

Wasn’t going to be but last minute Joao Gomes didn’t feel right so the lad got named on the bench. It’s also a way of showing the best young players we have a pathway into the senior team to avert them going elsewhere. @giantwolf and @JOS are better placed, but generally word has it that he’s a special talent, as are Rawlinson, Ballard-Matthews who are the same age?

Haven’t read the whole thread but just responding to a tagged message

A selection of academy players often travel with the first team for experience and so if something happened to Joao Gomes then as they’re 5 hours away, Wes gets a spot

Why Wes? Well he was there but he was there because he’s been impressive in the academy, he’s just won the u16s Federations cup with England (having played 3 games in a short space of time the previous week) so unlikely to have featured for the 18s, he’s also a talent so he’s understandably getting interest, the trip would have been one way of rewarding him and showing him such. He’s in very real danger of becoming another Leo Shahar so every little helps

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Ten Haag is a dead man walking……

That’s a shame doing a good job they can’t afford to sack him at the moment can they same as chelsea and poch lol

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

He’s never took on a “footballing” role. Be it Thelwell, Sellars or Hobbs there’s always been someone in charge of that albeit with different titles. Though as chairman much like any business he’s the ultimate one in charge of everything

Cool, thanks for clarifying mate.

I have Misunderstood the replacements based on title changes.
