trooper 940 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Steve McClaren: “I have been impressed with Lee Charnley from day one, in terms of his vision and what he wants for the club. “I have been at other clubs where you go ‘Oh my word, I am not getting much from that’ and you’re kind of on your own. Here though, not at all. “That (Mike Ashley’s) backing is important, from Lee and from everybody. “From the staff we have got that and especially from the players, that is important. “When things are on the outside like that (pressure), the most important thing for us – sticking together, supporting each other and performing. “Hopefully that win is just around the corner and our first opportunity for that is on Sunday.” Just needed a "fanks Mike fanks Lee" on the end of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2948 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Maybe he meant 10 home games. Oh well guess you can't judge him yet Super Troops. It'd be nice. But nope. Probably meant 10 home games. If only there were some way to judge a person without their consent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7066 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The cunts only just gone and written to me! Win every personal battle, handle the occasion and be disciplined Hi TS, It's derby day on Sunday and the importance of this match is not lost on me or any of our players. Quite simply it is one of the most important days of the season. We travel to the Stadium of Light at the weekend delighted to have our first win under our belts and looking to make it back-to-back victories. Needless to say it was imperative that we won last week and whilst we all said beforehand that we would have taken a scrappy one-nil win, the bonus for everyone at the club and, in particular, you the supporters, was that it was an exciting, entertaining game with some fantastic periods of play and of course terrific goals. It was great to finally send everyone home happy and smiling after what has been a difficult start to the season. Just as we refused to over-react to the defeat at Manchester City the week before, we have not over-reacted to the victory against Norwich. It was a step in the right direction, but that is all. No one is complacent. We have to ensure we deliver a consistency of high level performance not just over a number of games but also within games. Gini took most of the plaudits after the game, and rightly so, but there were good performances all over the pitch which pleased myself and the coaching staff. However there were still areas we identified that need to be worked on and that's what we've been concentrating on this week on the training pitch. We have to keep working hard and focussing one hundred percent on getting our preparation spot on for Sunday. I don't need reminding that we have lost the last five derbies and for everyone associated with the club that is simply unbearable. It wasn't so long ago that we won five in row and we are desperately keen and hugely motivated to turn the tide and bring the points back to Tyneside. The atmosphere is always incredible and I think unique to the North East and we have to go there, stand up and be counted. There’s no question that our players understand what it means to win the derby. A number of the squad have a great deal of experience of this particular game, but don’t forget that Mitro, Gini and Daryl have also played in huge derbies for their former clubs and the enormity of the occasion is not lost on any of them. My message to the players is simple. Win every personal battle, handle the occasion and be disciplined. If we can do all that and put one or two of our chances away then we can come away with the positive result we all crave. Sam Allardyce is a manager I've come up against in the past when he was with Bolton and I have huge respect for him. He gets the job done with a minimum of fuss and if you want to come out on top against one of Sam’s sides every part of your preparation and strategy has to be perfect. It's his first home game with Sunderland and the crowd and players will be fired up. If we at least match that, I am confident the quality within this group will prevail. Enjoy the game on Sunday and I sincerely hope that come 2pm on Sunday afternoon, we’ve given you a performance and result to be really proud of.

Haydnator 45 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well, there's 10 Premier League games gone. I know he now extended this to 'Judge me after a season' but what is everyone's judgement after the initial judging deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4679 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Getting us playing some nice stuff. A few extra players in January and we should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21792 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think he's a better bet than his predecessor. There's glimpses of a good coach and some of the best football we've played for years. It just needs to translate into wins and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydnator 45 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Agree with all 3. We just need the finishing to improve and we'll pick up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 866 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 McClaren will come good, I agree. By 10 games in some could already see that Fat Sam was a big fat mistake - don't reckon the same is true about ginger. All in good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 There has definitely been signs of an actual system being put in place, he's just going to need time to make a proper squad (if Ashley will let him). We have showed decent stuff in a handful of games, the squad did go and crumple in some of them but I blame the previous management for that tendency. There was no worry of the Mackems beating us yesterday 11 v 11, if it wasn't for yet another fucking ridiculous moment from captain fantastic we'd have comfortably seen out a 0-0 draw at the worst.

Noelie 103 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 One plus sign is the absence of Williamson from the bench. With Mbemba, Colo, Lascelles, Dutton, as central defenders we may have seen the last of Willo. Dutton has done well in that position before. Played well against Norwich and against Blunderland so maybe McClaren has turned the corner. Can't fault him for the loss to the Mackems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The first half was the closest I've seen us play pure football for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10681 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Think there's definite improvement on the pitch and there's less punching-the-tv-worthy moments off it. 2-3 signings in the January window and we'll finish the season quite strongly. CB is a must, but I'd say CM has over-taken LB as a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10681 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Was just thinking that. Need someone in there was a range of passing and the ability to protect the defence without imploding. Someone like Cabaye More Carrick than Cabaye, but yeah, essentially. This club, with the players we've currently got, would benefit from a deep lying, defensively capable, playmaker* trouble is, that position is fashionable at the minute so there'd be a premium on any target and it's my opinion that you need a certain degree of maturity to play it well and so because of those two factors, I can't see the moneymen of Newcastle loosening the purse-strings enough to get a quality one. *Regista /Hipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
