As usual, we find ourselves with the WRONG manager appointed - thanks Mr Shepherd!
Another depressing season beckons.
It is simply UNACCEPTABLE to be thrashed so badly at home, to lose 1-4 to Portsmouth is a joke.
To lose to DERBY was a joke, to lose to READING a joke.
The playing tactics are negative, boring, hoof and hope style, all long ball.
Great idea playing a right winger on the left, and a left winger on the right last week Sam!
Even better, to play long balls to a central defence of 6'5 defenders. Im sure they had a hard time stopping those...
We don't demand 5-0 victories every week, but we do NOT want to see long ball grinding football at NUFC.
Anyone who thinks 'clean sheets' come before 'scoring goals' is an idiot.
The fatal flaw with the above statement, is when the opposition scores, which they usually do 99.9% of the time, we have NO COMEBACK plan.
Useless.
We beat Spurs, who were rubbish at the time, and being beaten by everyone anyway.
Same with Bolton, and we scraped a Wigan 1-0 win.
All 3 of the above clubs managers have now gone anyway!
We lost to Derby, Reading, Portsmouth (at home!!!!) and couldn't even beat the Smoggies.
BYE SAM, take your negative boring ineffective tactics with you.
