We are not world beaters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 If this proves anything it's that Salisu is a brilliant centre back who we can't do without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 If we can get a goal or two and/or shut up shop from here then it's just a wakeup call and we work on it for Newcastle. 6-0 and we'll go into a tailspin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 4 minutes ago, Chez said: If KWP is fit enough to play, I think he should be starting ahead of Tino. If you lose Salisu to injury, why change a second member of your back four? Try and keep that settled winning side if you can. Agreed. He likes a tinker. Thought he was over that.

OttawaSaint Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 After beating West Ham with (initially) the reserve team, the squad got cocky thinking they'd have it easy today. RH took all the plaudits for Wednesday but he's got to keep this squad's feet on the ground. They took their eye off the ball here, overcelebrating the cup win.

macca155 Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 Most teams have days like this at some point. Combination of believing the hype, no Salisu or KWP, opposition playing well and the team looking jaded. It happens but don't just give in and concede 5 or 6. Fight, try and get a goal or two back. Crucial to keep some self belief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crucial to keep some self belief in games we have won or drawn there are incidents and chances that have gone our way. Today they haven't. It a fine line between winning and losing games at this level. Putting to one side the cup win, in general, against the decent sides, we have to have our best side out to win games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 5 March, 2022 Share Posted 5 March, 2022 As bad as we have been defensively today, its also quite a feat of our usually good forward players to get shut out by a defence consisting of Mings, Chambers, Cash and Young 💩 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
