The official thread of doom and gloom...

I think tactically, if we'd gone for the median between our first half tactics and our second half tactics we would almost certainly have won.

sorry but it's bring back mark hughes

If Hughes would come back I would definitely have him back. Why would he want too, though?

to be honest i would take anyone right now
can't believe Kean thinks that we was excellent today
he watched a different game than i did cos we were pants

We were good in the first half and defended well in the second but we look like we have real stamina problems up front.

up front they were greedy too much running with the ball never passed it once in second half utter rubbish we gave the game to fulham

You lucky,lucky northern mup pets,you brought ten fans and we should have murdered ya,do ya know you have a pi ss head of a manager as well,he wont admit it but he nicked a bottle of our best whiskey,fe cking thief he is,hope ya go down,a firm of ten ffs..

I think Rochina deserves to start up front against Arsenal. He was our only real threat for most of the game.

Game of 2 halves in my opinion. We were better in the first, they were better in the second. Both sides had opportunities on the counter-attack in the half they struggled, although I think its fair to say overall Robinson was the busier of the 2 keepers.

Hoilett was excellent again (fingers crossed he's ok), Rochina looked decent and thought N'Zonzi was solid in the middle. Robbo was pretty much flawless in the net. Downsides Givet struggled massively against Duff and was responsible for their goal. Dann had a pretty shocking first half (suicidle pass across the box that should have resulted in a penalty for them, then made no effort to get across to Zamora for their goal), but he did get better in the second. Salgado bit clumsy at times and dunno whats going on with Samba but stripped of the captaincy and off at half time doesn't sound good.

I agree with most of what you say.my only worry is Salgado and Givet ,we was lucky not to concede a penalty from Salgado again!Duff ran us ragged at times ive mixed feelings was we lucky/unlucky I was glad of the point to be honest.We could have nicked it at the last so again mixed feelings.
