Sammy in for Shola, Ferguson/Marveaux for Obertan. Pards is going to go for what you put out though.

Agree to disagree then, cant argue with the last bit though. The mistake was not strengthening the weak areas were we were found out last season. And its hurting us now, the management has to take the fall for that.

Think I just spent 15 minutes starting at that. Ridiculous.

A few decent games? Come on, we had to grind out a few results but we had some fantastic team performances too. The Manure home game comes to mind. I personally think last season was thoroughly enjoyable on the whole. For instance the game at Old Trafford, we rode our luck but got stuck in and defended with our lives with a man down. I enjoyed that game as much as the one where we played them off the park at home. Maybe its just me but I love it when you see the players not doing well but working their arses off to try and get a result for the team. Shows you they respect the shirt they are playing in. We had that last season, we had some great team performances, moments of individual brilliance, we spanked a fair few of the big boys. Memories to last a long while!! How can anyone play down a season like that?? The fact that a few years ago we looked down and out and not coming back to this league anytime soon just made it all the more enjoyable. I absolutely loved every minute of it and desperately hope people like Cisse can get back to that kind of form so the party can begin again!

Same here! I think growing up has a bit to do with it, and the years under Fat Sam and relegation toughened us up a bit

We had our odd bad game but I think we were pretty decent to watch on the whole, and we scored a ridiculous amount of cracking goals. Bit harsh to put that on luck or anything of that sort. 5-6 of our players showed great quality and there's no taking away that. No doubt this season's form is worrying. But I dont believe the kind of quality people like Cisse and Cabaye displayed last year was a flash in the pan sort of thing. Its all about getting the system right again and getting the players' confidence back up. A lot of this down to Pardew obviously. The question is bloody when will he get it right. 10 games is a lot and we are not showing much signs of improvement. Need a bit of a spark we do.

Return to last seasons formation please. Ba has been brilliant but if putting him on the left and Cisse in the centre is what gets us going, as it did last season, then I hope Pards has the steel to do it!

Aye, but isnt that what we say before every game? Going by Sunday's performance we'll probably be passed off the park. Just hope some of the people who've been putting up half arsed performances lately will get their act together at long last. And enough with the long balls already. The moment Colo got sent off against Liverpool my first thought was 'Oh balls, Willo and his endless supply of hoofed up hopeless balls coming up!'

Cabaye was quite decent at set pieces last season.He's gone totally off this time around though, especially from corners, cant seem to clear the first man most of the time. Agree about the Ba and Cisse bit above. Real pity that. Im still harbouring the hope Cisse can hit some kind of form soon. Or that Ba can start playing on the left again. Wonder when we will see the type of form Cisse hit last season again, not for a long time likely. Would be a real pity if this doesnt work out!

I wonder, are we actually missing Raylor? Judging from the atrocious quality of our set pieces and crossing etc, we just may be.

Why the hell not try Marveaux or Sammy then? At least they seem to try.

Dont forget the perfectly sized shiny head that reflects light onto the eyes of oncoming players and renders them blind. Born to play football that guy!

Doesnt seem to have any encouraging attributes to his game. For all the talk about his delivery, its shite! Then again the delivery was shite from everyone today.

Of what division? Agree about Anita, Cisse and Shola. We know full well Shola is shite but the turn around for Cisse this season has been amazing. And horrifying. Cabaye as well to a lesser extent. Williamson is shite, Simpson is shite, Obertan is super shite, Ferguson looks like he's going to be shite. Krul, Ba and HBA. 3 man team at the moment. Quite literally.

Woeful half arsed cowardly performance. Last minute balls being put up in the box and there's hardly a black and white shirt there to try and get on the end of it. Sums it up. Nobody seemed to have wanted it. The only player who actually wanted to play with his feet and try to do something constructive with it was Ben Arfa of course. Rest of these spineless wankers can fuck right off. Absolutely pathetic stuff against an very poor team

Pushing for a point at home with 5 minutes to go, and the possession stats for the last 5 minutes are: Nufc 36% West Ham 64% Brilliant

We might as well play 5 defenders and 5 shola style forwards. Fook the midfield. Pathetic

What utter rubbish! Where is our midfield. Enough with hoofing the ball up for ffs! What the hell are you upto Pardew? RUBBISH

We got some good luck last season because we played well. It works that way most of the time. This season we've been shite. Williamson showing there again what a class act he is. Bloody moron. Krul to the rescue.

More worryingly there have been some half arsed performances. Anyway still only a goal down, hoping for the best. Would have preferred to see Sammy over Shola.

Another rubbish performance. No surprises because we havent looked a bit like improving so far this season.

Carrol yes, Nolan no.

A bit off topic but anyone know any good place for some decent new nufc wallpapers? We used to have a thread here once upon a time.

An old one this, and with many versions, but still

Full time. Pleased with the come back, although I think the game was there for the taking in the second half had we pushed it a bit more. Good performances from Obertan, Anita and the Sholas. Colo seems to be in a bit of a downward spiral though.
