@GeorgeCaulkin The sleeping giant has been cut, bled and scarred..it’s now time to brush away the rubble and rise, to stand tall and proud and turn its face to the sun for a bright future
@TheAthleticUK @ChrisDHWaugh All of the above - ones no good without the other. Firstly we need a top midfielder willing to carry the ball, then a better manager to develop the players to perform greater than the sum of their parts and an owner with ambition and investment with an eye on youth development
@lee_ryder@lee_ryder you missed off ‘cowardly’. The manager is an absolute coward setting us up like that tonight. The players were also cowardly in their effort and energy.
@Thomas_NUST Most people in football, including our managers, often praise the #nufc fans for their knowledge of football. Yet the pundits and this manager criticise us for unrealistic expectations and histrionics...
@MsiDouglas It’s not football. It’s just watching the opposition attack week in week out. There is nothing to discuss in #nufc performance because it’s just chasing the opposition
@GeorgeCaulkin How many hours without a goal? How many goals from open play? It’s diabolical stuff and the manager refuses to discuss it and only offers excuses.
Very theoretical question but are the PCP consortium still interested in #NUFCTakeover if #nufc get relegated this season? @GeorgeCaulkin #@ghodoussi @NCSL1892 @NUFC360
We haven’t watched #nufc play football for years, not because we don’t want to but because they don’t ‘play’. Each week we get to watch how other PL teams attack which isn’t fun at all. @GeorgeCaulkin@MsiDouglas @TaylorandBesty @NUFC360
@LukeEdwardsTele Can’t argue they’re not Bruce’s players either though. Bruce re-signed Shelvey, Ritchie, Carroll, M Longstaff, Darlow, Manquillo , Hayden as well as all the 8 new signings. It’s on Bruce
@MsiDouglas Better second half display apart from poor substitutions of Almiron and Wilson inviting pressure on in last 10 mins. Better display down to better CM with Longstaff excellent
@LiamJKennedy23 The problem is, and will continue to be, central midfield. Until we sign better players or S. Longstaff re-finds his form alongside Hayden, all games will be like this. Bruce will try to compensate by playing Hendrick wide and make us lopsided
@HughPickerill Looks like Steve Agnew as well (bald guy). Probably going to watch someone playing last night that’s been recommended by the scouting team ready for January window.
The pride and hope in the club that was planted by Keegan & Robson has now truly disappeared. It’s taken a lot of nails in the coffin to keep it shit but I think this is the final one...#NUFCTakeover#nufc@GeorgeCaulkin@MsiDouglas
@MsiDouglas@premierleague What does it matter? It will only satisfy short term interest. There is literally no ‘hope’ left with this club from the loss of progressive thinking manager in Benitez to owners willing to invest. What is football support if not built on hope?
