Dr_Pangloss Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Even in the past week I've read one or two on here say that RDM is doing an "excellent" job. I really wonder what I'm missing. Virtually every game we have played we have been appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonperry_uk Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's alright having dangerous forwards, and at this level we now have 4, but we don't have any style of play or the right type of midfielders to actually get the ball to these strikers. How any manager could look at Bacuna and Westwood and seriously consider them first team material is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted September 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2016 That number 26 on our right wing looks brisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Gestede on for Elphick, then go 442. We simply have to make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Just now, KSV said: Why do we always have managers who pick the team based on how to stop other teams rather than focus on how to best them. Attacking Newcastle is the way to beat them. Sitting back? Wtf is that going to achieve. It's brainless. We're approaching games like we have been promoted from league one rather than being a big club coming down from the premier league with a massive budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Im confident bruce would sort this shower out. things need to happen. tony has to act, otherwise we will drop again, im also confident of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decamoto Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Gollini kodjia and adomah only players coming out of that half with any credit. Also amavi going forward looks decent. The rest have been poor. So poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsam Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 why do people insist on taking off Westwood when he clean isnt the worst of our midfielders. today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Urgh - terrible half. Elphick has been appalling and is lucky to have only been responsible for one goal so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Clark marshaled defence couldn't look more comfortable, doesn't get any more damning than that. The most disappointing thing about the half. I expect that if we can put them under pressure second half, their defence will look as bad as ours. Really disappointing that we have not done so already. If Gestede is fit I would get him on now and change formation. We are making it far too easy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobler Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I wonder how many more years we'll have to wait to build one of the most basic ingredients for success in football, a midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 There is no link from midfield to attack at all. RDM has got this all wrong, Newcastle won't have a half as easy as that all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 4-2-4 for me second half,if your midfield isnt contributing then bypass it.Bring on Gestede,Ayew and Adomah wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I won't be the first in this thread to say it but please for the sake of Jebus can we please get back to basics and play a 442. This is getting beyond a bad joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm firmly in the camp that it's too soon to sack the manager. Long season and all that. However, if this is RDM''s plan, get him the **** out. My brother is a Schalke fan and watches their games, some in stadium and all others on TV. He's said consistently RDM is negative and tactically inept. It's proving true right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
