accadacca 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 absolute proof that this league is not so good as it used to be is borne out by the fact that Ameobi and Chopra are leading goascorers. And absolute proof of our own decline is that Ameobi has became so important. What? Chopra was a decent premiership player, scored something like 8 goals in 27 games for Sunderland, including sub appearences, and half of those games he started on the wing. wow, so theres' one prem' quality player in the CCC after all eh ? from the 24 CCC teams, I defy anyone to name a first team plus 7 subs containing Prem' quality players - not including ours.

accadacca 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 He's been right so far tbf. Lucky more like Therefore by implication, the team has been lucky to get the results. Which is patently bollocks. Hardly, the guy's said we're going to walk the league with the squad we have, the squad is obviously too thin without luck having a hand in not getting injuries - it's got bugger all to do with how the first team has performed. Therefore the guy's been lucky that the first team haven't really had injuries, if they had it's doubtful we'd have got the same results during this start to the season and it's even more doubtful that they'd continue any further in to the season. It's easy to say that with our 'first team' we'd win the league, but with our 'squad' it's a different matter altogether. ... which isn't bollocks. He's been right 'so far' as in we've beaten teams through our superior quality and not through luck. Again, the 'team'/'club' has been lucky that we havent had any injuries, not accadacca. They've not been lucky to win those games though. Aye, that's what I was trying to say. Are our ''rivals'' also lucky not to have sustained any injuries then ?

We wouldn't be playing in the second tier if they were "premiership quality players!" not all of them obviously. you telling me that Smith, Nolan, Barton and S. Taylor aren't Premier standard ? reason for relegation was due to a lot of factors one of which was some weren't prem quality and couldnt be carried by those that were - Barton and Smith were out of action for long spells if you remember.

dbsweeney 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 www.nufcblog.org states that Shola's injury will keep him away for months rather than weeks: http://www.nufcblog.org/2009/09/kamara-cou...ransfer-latest/ Kinda makes the need for a new striker just that bit more urgent.

To be honest the majority of our team was easily mid-table Prem standard, the thing that sent us down was a lack of motivation from a lot of players who couldn't be arsed and had a lack of direction through bad management and running of the club.

Guest alex Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Midfield wasn't easily mid-table PL standard though which is another reason why we went down / rarely dominated games for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21992 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Midfield wasn't easily mid-table PL standard though which is another reason why we went down / rarely dominated games for any length of time. We suffered a massive lack of creativity in the midfield in the top flight. Funnily enough our midfield seems to be our strongest point in this division. The lack of firepower up front, and lack of adequate cover in our defence, are what concern me most now. Oh, and lingering concerns regarding our manager situation. Other than that I'm enjoying the ride at the moment, long may it continue and may Accadacca have the last laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 How can you say we have a squad full off players who can hack it at this level when most of the youngsters making up the numbers have had little to no first team experience? Reserve football doesn't really act as a good guideline as to whether a player will cut it in the league you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really disagreeing with you as you're both right in a way since it's not a good guideline but it's the best we've got since we can't afford to loan them out due to the size of the squad but League 1 would be a better gauge than reserve level which is, frankly, not very competitive.

KingHarkinian 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 brigade. This notion that Newcastle have a desperately small squad and will be in trouble if injuries abound is, on looking at the facts, a load of bollocks. The size of the United first team squad is 26 - yes, some have little or no experience, but that is exactly the same as the other squads. Barnsley, Leicester and Reading have 27 listed, Palace 28, Plymouth and Cardiff 29, Watford and QPR 30, Swansea, Ipswich and Coventry 31 {nee the wonder they are in financial difficulty}. 6 clubs have less than 26 - Sheff Utd 21 {!!}, Sheff Wed 22, Preston 23 Forest and Derby 24 and Peterboro 25. Boro, Scunthorpe, Bristol City and Blackpool have 26 listed - same as Newcastle. The difference is that Newcastle have genuine premiership quality players in the squad, backed up by players who are of CCC quality. The ''TOP'' CCC teams have virtually no Prem' quality players between them and the ''back up'' are mainly players of dubious CCC quality and many of whom are really Div 1 quality players. This is why I am opitmistic, and as we shall see on Sunday at a supposed promotion rival, we are just too strong - despite a couple of injuries to key players. you were saying?
