NJS 4384 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 There's a post in the match thread on N-O which sums up my feelings: "Okay Allardyce, who are you and what the fuck have you done with my football club" This air of competence can't last.

Gemmill 44872 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The bloke is a class act. Aye it's early days but the whole feeling around the club has changed since he came in. We don't feel like a bunch of fucking losers anymore for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinofbeans 91 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 lets wait and see. good thing is tactically we have a manager whose unafraid of taking risks. also once they scored our gameplan changed to contain them. wouldn't have seen that under the previous coach...

Jimbo 175 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm of course very happy but I can't get too excited yet, remember the win at west Ham early last season, that turned out to be a fluke, so might this, lets see where we are after a few matches.

IrishMag 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I still couldn't help but feel nervous, even when 3-0 up. We're not near there yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I did have that here we go again feeling when they got one back. Good to see Sam changing things though to slow the game down and hold on to the game. A good start but now we need to do it at home next week.

Ken 119 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sam Allardyce=Class. He knows what he's doing and the fact that there was no Owen, Barton, Duff, and the new defenders Cacapa and Enrique are still settling in, the signs are very promising indeed.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Whilst it was great to see us 3-0 up and playing well, it was perhaps more important what happened in the 2nd half. Yes they scored past us, but that was an excellent bit of play by Anelka, but other than that we fought, battled and kept them out and we started to kill the game, spoil it, slow everything down and generally do what needs to be done in these situations. And shock, horror, a toon manager actually used subs properly and tactically when they were needed, instead of sitting on the bench doing fuck all! He made changes to help us defensively and brough more height on in case they bombarded us near te end which was the right thing to do. As people have said its only one game, but the way we've gone about things as a club since Mort and Big Sam were settled in is in direct contrast to Fat Fred and Roeder et al.

Shearergol 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I think it's been our best transfer window since Keegan tbh. Happy with every one of our new signings. Viduka's link up play was quality yesterday - something we've missed since Shearer was at his peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Another great thing is we won that game 3-1 away from home, without Owen, Given, Barton and the two new defenders we've bought!!!

Aye I thought that as well. Did nowt spectacular but was completely solid and is so strong with the ball at his feet. Great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Row Z 0 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have to admit i'm catching a bit of BSF (Big Sam FEVER) Don't ask me why, he just has something about him, he knows how to organise a team (when was the last time you heard Newcastle and organised in the same sentence). For the first time in ages we may not play like a bunch of losers His signings have been good - Viduka, Smith, Barton, Rozy for sure Enrique and Cacapa we'll see Look at the job at Bolton, took then from nowhere and turned them into a team who could beat top 4 teams on a regular basis. Give him time, but he's already set the wheels in motion i would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
