[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[TheDuke]

It's unbelievable. Are our players actually THICK!?!

Nothing but absolute bile from your typing fingers... you surely have no love for our team... just sod off. Just destructive all the time.

 

[Icy Gull]

About time you started reading the room mate!

We are on a dreadful run and it doesn’t matter if we battered them for 90 minutes. There are no pictures Ona scorecard…we lost 2-1 to a team we should be beating if we are looking to progress…as we should have done against burnley and Aston Villa.

If we are not careful, alll our good work the first half of the season is in danger of unravelling and I am sure we won’t go down, but we are not very good at all at the moment!

BTW Championship table looking bloody marvellous at the moment!

Never mind Huddersfield are filling you with joy and I don’t need to read the NSC room, too many entitled fans actually LOVING Potter’s team losing again, it’s been a half season wait to wade back in again though.

 

[Steve Foster]

Looking for a scapegoat, blame Bloom. Failing to buy a first team striker before the season started is inexcusable. Failing to strengthen in January is unforgiveable. Relying on youngsters for the future is reckless. Liverpool & Spurs next . Our forwards wouldn’t get us out of the Championship.

 

[Durlston]

Must be the tough cup match in the week that wore the players out. Oh hang on, FFS.......

13th place. And Palace likely going to Wembley. It's starting to sting a bit this season.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

yeah , i'm sorry but if solly is the answer i dread to think what the question was.....and Bissouma sits the game out although i thought Alzate had a good game .

I thought Alzate was very good today and one of the few who actually wanted to drive forward.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

All about points Mouldy . And entertainment. I don’t want Potter to go but he is not the great manager some make out in here on not as bad as some make out .

Okay Mr V, but with Newcastle's recent run, did you really expect anything up there?

just ****ing clueless in the final 3rd .......delivery from Lamptey and Cucurella is woeful......final few seconds even sanchez up in their area and cucurella hits it straight to a geordie player in the d..... hard to take , northern *****.

Lamptey stuck some quality balls in there begging for a striker to get on to them, but no one made the runs though.

Cucurella, did many other things today at both ends he did tighten up a bit with the final ball. But he has often stuck quality balls in the box.

Nah, they were all shit and we lost again, where’s the boo hoo emoji?

 

[Steve in Japan]

This echo on Radio Sussex makes it unlistenable.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Are you going to fork out 40m for a decent center-forward then

Let's be realistic, we know what boom and bust does, we have been there before.

Do you really believe that we are a poor side then

I tell you what I think. I think we gave up on this season.

We got in a striker bang in form and loaned him back to USG so Tony's other team could stand a chance of silverware. We sold Burn and White and didn't replace them. We've got a DoF who's sitting in limbo about to start with our rivals today. Wonder if he met anyone who might know Smeddie accidentally in a pub, restaurant or service station this week

No, we've looked at the top ten position in January and gone "that'll do". But obviously still charged the fans the same for tickets.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Dominated possession. Not goal scoring. And that's what counts. Absolutely nothing entertaining about constantly passing it sideways. And we were the worse team against Villa and absolute dogshit against Burnley.

Thought we played well.

But, we have not invested in a replacement for Murray and once again was our undoing, Welbeck was really disappointing, he actually came to meet the ball as part of the build-up at 81 minutes. I don’t care he was a free transfer and has done ‘okay’, he’s past it and today was another example. He was also partially to blame for the second, but Sanchez has to be disappointed with his part.

Whilst I’m ranting, Duffy makes me shudder every time he tries to pass the ball.

Thought Alzate was great, surprised he came off. Didn’t think Moder was dreadful either.

A vast improvement on Burnley and Villa

Bloom AND Potter out?

Not Loving it at all Icy .

You post good stuff on here and don’t want to get into a row with you

But 3 wins in last 22 league games
3 home wins all season
Less than a goal scored per game
Same errors each game not learning from

Lots of fans will not renew their season tickets

 

[maltaseagull]

Dead right Icy.


Newcastle were chasing shadows most of the game.

Proud of the boys, guts, temperament, and class.

#trustinpotter

Agree up to a point.
But we are so f**King toothless.
Now conceding really soft goals.

 

[Napier]

Two very sloppy goals conceded, one of which came from losing possession by the opposition penalty area. Great in possession over 3/4 of the pitch, but hopeless and toothless anywhere near the opposition penalty box. The final few minutes summed it up with continued sideways passing instead of showing urgency and putting the ball in the danger area. Sound familiar?

On to next week, hopefully a point will be had!

Absolutely spot on. Let's hope us giving up on this season doesn't really come back to bite us, as I just can't see where the next points are coming from atm unless we can put away Norwich. The next few games will not be pretty.

Mouldy

Yes I thought we would win but Potter has to learn that Sanchez to dunk to Duffy to Sanchez to dunk to Duffy is boring and predictable
I wish we would be a more attacking side we are predictable and teams have sussed us out and sorry but at the moment Potter is being found out by his rival managers in the league

If you consider the small amounts we have laid out over the last few years, that probably amounts to £40m. So yes!

(Wages might be an issue though ).

If we truly have top 10 ambition that is what is missing.

Me (an idiot): “Four defeats in four games is bad”

Lamptey has also regularly been putting in good crosses since his comeback against Man City in October. Some proper knee-jerk reaction going on here.
