Baird of the land

Fortunately i was busy with other things today and wasn't subjected to another awful Saints defeat. Flabbergated when i saw the starting lineup contained AMN (who was despicably bad in the game versus Forest). Typical saints this season in rewarding failure.

My hopes. AMN not in the squad. Several of B team on the bench, ideally 1 of them in the team. If it was me i'd play something like Bazanu(might as well play him given we are down) KWP DCC Lyanco Djenepo Alcaraz Lavia JWP Sulemana Mara Ballard

Clearly taking off your worst player is not the trendy thing to do for turtlleneck idiot managers

How has that complete fraud of a player (AMN) managed to both start and finish the game. Clueless joke of a manager.

Yeah Bree would be fine by me. I'd even be ok with giving Payne a game.

Yeah was just thinking that watching Armstrong do well to drive and get some space, only for JWP to instantly pass backwards without a thought of going forward

Why are we playing that pathetic loan boy.

I'd prefer not to see AMN in the team, other than it looks ok. Sulemana a little unlucky but guess he'll be pace from the bench in 2nd half.

Given the number of young players we already have in 1st team squad, the bloated nature our squad we need to dispose of and the talent in the B team i'd be wary of too many loans. What we need is experienced players to help turn the culture round(last time round we had the likes of Fonte, Hammond and Rickie.)

I'm curious to see how West Ham do in their next few because when/if they are on the beach the relegation race. They've got City(A) Utd(H) & Brentford(A). If they come out with 0 which is feasible, they likely need something from either Leeds or Leicester to be comfortable.

I switched off after that appalling 2nd goal where Walcott managed to put it in his own net. Don't get taking Sulemana off. He seemed to be arguing with Selles, which is fair play to him. Not sure what the plan was with our subs. Thought we should have changed things at HT, we'd clearly ridden our luck defensively. Thought the ref was very poor. The freekick he gave them where they almost scored but for Mccarthy just before their first, djenepo not even sure Djenepo touched the newcastle player. 5 minutes later at 1-1 the ball goes up to Sulemana and the defender is all over him and ref ignores it.

Really pathetic

Ref is a complete cheat

Surely we can't leave Lyanco at RB all game getting demolished at some point Gordon is accidently going to hit it on target or locate another newcastle player or they'll replace the useless sod. Could we move KWp to that side and Djenepo to left (really don't want to see AMN)

Not of a fan of the refs approach to bookings. Gunimares 2 fouls in a mnute, nothing. How we're the only ones to come out with a booking is wrong. Good effort by Saints, forunate though that Gordon is useless (otherwise game could be over). Armstrong playing very well and capped off by smart movement(stopping his) for the goal. Still not convinced we''ll hold it (and definitely not going to get invested in miracolous escape nonsense) but guess just enjoy these fading moments of premier league football

Brave Sir Robin

These teams just get weirder and weirder. Who is playing full back? Lyanco or is it Djenepo?

Yeah trying to rely on him as the main striker is a bad idea. A striker who averages about 9 goals a season is going to be useful to teams as a 2nd striker

Che won't be here next season. There will be premier league interest and there's no way the club will let him run down his contract and walk for free.

9 nil to Newcastle incoming

West Ham not out of it yet. Man City and Man Utd their next 2 games. By then they could be sucked back down in the mix for the other 2 places. They have a fun last 2 games against Leeds & Leicester too.

I think it would be a bit weird to get rid in the summer. Che will go(his contract running down), Tella (will likely be targetted by Burnley in the prem)Armstrong would be the guy left that has actually a record of scoring at that level. Are we gonna recoup much for him given his last 2 years.

We're relegated. You might as well start the developmental 1 over the veteran. I'd also prefer to see Payne over Arsenal Maitland Niles, for the same reason if Perraud is out

Note probably said something like 'win some headers'

I'll hold off my excitement until we get a less bloated 1st team squad and a first team manager willing to play talented kids
