Calmed down a bit following that goal. All on Newcastle now getting as little number of points possible and us somehow find way to be close to them for that last game. Tough ask but still in with chance......OK now the negative stuff.....Parker, loan utd, DOF and the players.
Parkers mindset is defensive first. We saw it last year and this. You could argue lack of strikers has been an issue and I'm with you there, not the issue last season. Its just his makeup and its difficult to switch gears for players after they have been drilled a certain way..
We saw that in the past and we are seeing it now. When you look to change things on about 70/75 and go for the win thats fine, but if you let a goal in and fail to score it gives you very little time to get back into game. We should have had a more attacking lineup to start.
The loan utd stuff I have hated from the start. It leaves you nowhere to go if it fails..which ok it hasn't yet..but I've covered that before. Failure to bring in a striker was the key in the summer window. We didn't need RLC or a second RB in Aina, money should have gone to a FW
Tonight did we see players busting a gut, working hard for every ball, using their abilities to the best they could deliver? Well no we didn't.A couple maybe showed something but the rest no..Why? Only they know really. Somethings amiss to have a home record like we do again why?
Oh well we go again next game, still alive and a chance to do it, but I now feel something has to change within that team, be it tactics, players picked or just their attitudes and of course Paker has to change his ways as well, otherwise we are toast.
