I'm done with Redmond. Terrible player who thinks he is better than he is.

I don't know what's happened to him, he was quite good about a year ago.  He's been absolutely awful in the second half. 

[sydney_saint]

I never want to see Redmond in a Saints shirt again. Would happily see him in someone elses though

[Lord Duckhunter]

Pathetic from Prowse there, woeful 

[Mr X]

When Are we going to get a better chance to score? Never 

[DT]

Where is the urgency? Desperately, desperately poor. 

[LGTL]

Fucking shambles. Those last 20 minutes were diabolical. 

[Toussaint]

Feeble 

[Edmonton Saint]

You need pace or players who can beat a man to generate space when playing against a team sat back like this. Djenepo is unpredictable but he offers us pace and trickery. Mystifying why he is still on the bench.

[obelisk]

Useless

[Jeremy Corbyn]

I love Ralph but I really don't get not bringing in Djenepo.  Or doing anything to change it.

[Mr X]

TBF we haven't deserved anything from this game 

[S-Clarke]

An absolutely hopeless second half, absolutely hopeless.

We were up against 9 men for 20 mins, we barely mustered a shot.

Ings looks ruined. No idea what's up with him, he isn't getting a move if that's his level.

Redmond is suited to non-league, if that.

Adams is ok, just lacks the touch and technique to do anything really. Minimino drifted in the second half, tired a bit. 

Just dreadful, I have no real words to be honest. To not even get a draw out of a Newcastle team without an attack, no defence and against 9 men is absolutely disgusting and they all need to fined a weeks wages. Any football league team would have beaten Newcastle today. If it was us at 9men, we'd probably lose 15-0. 

Absolutely hopeless run we are on. Season is done for me, I don't see what's going to happen now? Getting better than last season is a no-hope, just finish as close to 12th/13th as we can I guess.

[Chez]

and another shit pass from JWP. Redmond isn't the only player to blame here.

[egg]

We are fucking dire. 

[haddock22]

The team that died of shame

[whelk]

Ralph is fucking useless

[HarvSFC]

I fucking hate the number 9, even getting to Ings.

[Toussaint]

Can there be a team easier to defend against than Saints?

[whelk]

Redmond should just fuck off

[DT]

Never want to see Redmond in a Saints shirt ever again. And McCarthy has to be dropped. Abysmal. Gutless, visionless, energyless. No spirit. No guile. No dribbling or pace. In a relegation battle unless we get something against Wolves. 

[Hatch]

This is worse than Tuesday

 

Redmond should never play for us again, 

 

 

[Disco Stu]

Today is on Ralph. I was begging for him to take off Redmond for Djenepo. He made one irrelevant substitution late in the game. It's infuriating. Also Ings has been one of our worst players since Liverpool.

 

Thoroughly deserved defeat. Well played Newcastle.

[St.JonB]

We've shown in 5 days how not to play with or against 9 men. 

[Super Carlton]

Fuck off

[whelk]

Wouldn’t care if Ralph went either. 

[wild-saint]

Fucking embarrassing

[Jimmy_D]

Daylight robbery by Newcastle there.

[obelisk]

There was no urgency at all. None. Against 9 men as well. Dreadful.

If we didn't already have 29 points I'd be worried. Actually I'm still worried about many aspects of our play currently.

[Viking Saint]

Gutless, spineless, diabolical. Where was the 'reaction' we were promised??

We just pass it around a bit, give it to Redmond, pass it back.

Give it to Adams, he'll try and hold it up, give it away. Pass it to Ings, miss hit.

There you go. That's our attack.

Give that to any team, even a school team, and they'd cope with that.

[sammysaint93]

That was absolutely pathetic. They should be all ashamed and embarrassed of themselves including Ralph. 

[Teddeer]

So we went down to 9 men on Tuesday and conceded 3 goals in about 8 minutes but we can't even score one in 25 minutes against 9!

[Causer]

In many ways worse than Tuesday..

Absolutely dreadful. 

[washsaint]

Utterly disgusting, spineless display - Redmond, Bertrand, Stephens, Ings, Bednarek, McCarthy were all beyond awful and an utter disgrace to the club.

Bertrand and Ings wanting bumper paydays?  They are both awful and have been for months.

Really?

They deserved that. Got no time for any of our players after today.

Because Ralph made another big tactical mistake believing that Redmond was better than literally any other option. Didn’t blame him v Man U. Do today. That was bad management

[Lighthouse]

It’s like they’ve come home from losing 9-0 again and thought ‘how can we take the p*ss out of our own fans even more?’ I know, we’ll play against 9 men in our very next game and fail to score at all.

[whelk]

No wherewithal whatsoever. Inept and infinitely more angry today than Tuesday.

is little Ralph crying now?

They fully deserved the points. More bottle, pride and nous that are bunch of fannies. 

[CB Fry]

Absolutely pathetic.

If it was other way round, we'd have lost 6-2 and it would be all the excuses about we were down to nine men and it was raining and what do you expect. Fucking pathetic.

[StrangelyBrown]

We need a plan to break teams down - it's been our problem for ages. If a team don't come out we don't have a clue what to do. Individual performances side Ralph needs a plan b.

A shambles we are heading for five losses in a row, the number 9 is definitely not our number

Exactly - we are woefully inept

Honestly, if they'd gone down to 8 I think we might have got something.

I don't think we'd have got anything if it was just their goal keeper playing.
