Another abysmal attacking performance and a late winner :4_joy:

Does everyone hate us yet? Have you cottoned on? We are the new Burnley. Staying up comfortably as long as Clark and one of Lascelles or Dummett stays fit. 

Bruce has done well to maintain the defensive structure of Rafa, though he learned that lesson the hard way. We're mainly suffering from the loss of Rondon. That needs to be addressed before our luck runs out.

Just a case of whether Newcastle wanted to go past their halfway line and attack.

Careful not to fall into the trap of thinking there was some sort of bus, we aren't attacking because we don't know how, we play like this against everyone. That is why our possession stats are miles worse than anyone else. We had less possession at home to Brighton than we did against your lot.

Newcastle played to their strengths. Sat back, defend and look to nick a goal. Can't fault them given their injuries and general lack of quality to be fair.

Horrible to watch though.

This isn't really by design, it's the result of what Bruce points out as being turned over far too often far too easily. Just not good enough with the ball.

We are routinely 2nd best at home to most teams. Southampton, Palace, Brighton etc. That's not because we went into those games thinking let's sit back and give the home fans nothing.

I think Joelinton is the root cause of it. We will make it to the end of the season without having to do anything about that but unless a miracle turn around happens eventually the club is going to have to face up to it.

A few Chelsea fans at work as well. Think I'm going to come in with a corner flag every day this week.

If you are anything like your team you will need to leave it until it's nearly clocking out time before you get any use out of it then... :ph34r:
