cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted December 22, 2020 Been a fun match so fast, been interesting seeing them both in action, although still 0-0  Shame Brentfords pitch is in such a shockingly poor state, thought this was supposed to be a new stadium? 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted December 22, 2020 Just a comment on the pitch, apparently it was due to be (re)laid before the season but Covid/other things delayed it.  Playing rugby on what isn’t meant to be their ‘proper’ pitch most definitely isn’t doing it any favours.

We have an office in Newcastle and their fans are generally unhappy about the takeover, Steve Bruce (he's no Rafa) and anyone they sign who in their opinion isn't good enough. They also think that Ashley is taking money out of the club despite there being no evidence and top players won't sign for Newcastle because the training facilities are being run down, again there's no evidence.  Edited December 23, 2020 by A Load of Squit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did suspect that it was exactly how you describe it, i.e. that he has become a scapegoat and that any goal they concede is automatically blamed on him irrespective of whether it was actually his fault or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy hasn't set the world a light Ironically Jamal Lewis has been terrible in recent weeks and was dropped to the bench for the last league game, Newcastle are looking to bring back the Dutch left back they had last season. And Jacob Murphy has done a really good job as a wing back on the opposite side of the pitch and is getting lots of praise this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's probably just one of those things that people who have no idea of football finance think. They see some big outgoing sales, see that the incoming players are a lower value and think that the difference is being pocketed by the owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the heck happened tonight (other than the score). Now I love Newcastle, the city and the people as it happens. However, and again with the caveat that they are a team I have a soft spot for, Newcastle supporters are not exactly the most level headed when it comes to their club. Given that the bar is set pretty high by virtue of being football fans (as every message board in the country shows), Jamal probably didn't have much hope unless he got off to a running start.

Tbf in the games I have seen Murphy was nearly always the more advanced with lewis being asked to drop in at lb as they shuffled to a back four when Murphy was forward. Rarely did I see both 'wing backs' advanced as we do it. I'd say You're both a bit right , but I'm the rightest .!!😇 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
