Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 30, 2021 Watching that first half was like watching Sargent miss the open goal versus Brighton spread out over the course of 45 minutes. Painful! We can’t be that bad second half. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,599 Posted November 30, 2021 Maybe I'm soft but I feel shocking is a bit harsh. Smith will have set the team up today looking to be solid and likely hit Newcastle on the counter, keep it tight, get the crowd on their back and take advantage. The sending off has totally changed that and the team is having to adjust. Hopefully the half time break allows Smith to switch things up a little bit and send the team out to play on the front foot with a bit more pace. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he's not at all. Never liked that ** To be fair I think he’s been pretty impartial, obviously wants Newcastle to win but he’s been fair to us in his assessments from what I’ve heard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,654 Posted November 30, 2021 Tzolis poor one side and Sargent the other. Certainly missing Rashica. Rupp holding onto the ball too long, but not much movement to encourage the early pass in all honesty. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,695 Posted November 30, 2021 Are the players asleep? Passing it around and keeping it well but look like they can hardly be botherd to try and trouble the keeper, and nevermind making a run a slow jog looks about as good as it gets for them right now! Â Let's hope for a Smith kick up the backside team talk like the one at Southampton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 98 Posted November 30, 2021 Poor first half, had plenty of the ball but nothing to show for it so far. We have defended well when they try to counter but we have to be careful as they have the trump card in Saint-Maximin who can catch out any side. Would like to see us up our intensity in the 2nd Half and judging from Smith's game management so far I believe we will come out a bit braver in possession. OTBC!!!

Nuff Said 5,111 Posted November 30, 2021 There seems to be an assumption that this should be an automatic three points because of the red card. Newcastle are doing what you would expect, getting behind the ball and defending solidly. They can look good going forward but they’ve had no shots on target so far. Yes, we will need to speed up in the second half but we’re playing it sensibly for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,329 Posted November 30, 2021 Newcastle have a big pitch which should play to our advantage by exploiting the space on the outside. But we are playing way too slow and with no intensity. We are creating no pressure on their backline. Newcastle may be happy to sit in for a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We look like a team set up to play on the break and suddenly we have possession. We have no idea what to do once we get to their box. Smith needs to work some magic at half time.
