Great assist Mccarthy! 2-3

Need to give up on the Uguchukwu experiment.

Totally unmarked on the edge of the box. Nobody tracking the runners. Nobody closing down. The players have lost it completely. Not even trying anymore.

Surely any collection of roughly assembled defenders besides this lot, would do better. Is there no self respect at all?

How can the defence be so incompetent to allow a guy to run through like that? Will Juric never learn the current formation isn't working?

Walking through completely unchallenged. Newcastle not even braking a sweat.

At this level, yes.

Nearly 3-1. One way traffic now. Could be 4 or 5 by half time

Yes, no reason to think otherwise based on this season so far.

2-1

It does look like Aribo took the player and not the ball. But he does seem to turn into a dive a little at the end.

Yep. I just knew!

I reckon it'll be game over by 3.15. Not sure how Juric can keep picking the same defence.

We deserved the equaliser. I hope it injects a tiny bit of belief in the players as it's Newcastle next.....

Fatigue I think?

We won the second half 2-0!

Good to see us show some fight. But too little too late yet again.

Irritating that we can show some fight at times. But for most of the game we've been nowhere.

Off the line.

ONUACHU!!

Still plenty of time.

I am inclined to agree. Teams who were a lot better than us have gone down and struggled. Just look at Luton, their team of last season would destroy our lot. We are moving into unexplored waters here when we go down. I don't think we can assume a couple of months of summer holidays is going to resolve the problems.

Agreed. But unfortunately I think most of them are just broken beyond belief. They can't raise themselves anymore. There is no pride left, just total lostness. No other team has played this badly at this level and likely never will. It is highly probable we'll get no more points and only a handful of goals between now and May. The manager might even get the boot by the end of the season. They are in the worst team in Premier League history and there isn't even a glimmer of hope to hold onto. No amount of money will help that. So to a certain extent I can understand them.

I really can't believe how poor we are the back. Nobody marking anyone. Letting them run through unchallenged. Juric has made us a better passing team but defensively it's exactly the same. Needs to change the formation and approach. This will be 5 or possibly more by full time.

I fear another 5 nil incoming.
