A bit of a reality check after the first game wasn't it? 

[Ugly Mackems 133]

Optimism. 

Pessimism 

Realism. 

Served up in 180 minutes. 

Big Joe's 41st consecutive appearance. Rejoice. 

[OTF 7287]

And to think, last week we had a glimpse of optimism. Stuff that right back down deep.

Not a rafa performance thankfully though 

[Alex 34954]

It was Rafa’s fault 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13842]

Aye, time to face the realism that Steve Bruce is a total dinosaur who can’t coach players in the slightest. How every single player needs 3 touches to control a pass, set themselves and move it on is ridiculous

Rafa is in China. Counting his £££ no doubt. Yet the mugs still he ' loved' us. 

Bad day all round. It won't get much better I fear. 

[Alex 34954]

It will if you stop posting 

[Howay 12496]

Was hoping we were decent after the first game, seems like it was more that West Ham are really, really shit. Another season of hoping there are at least 3 worse. Hopefully Ashley suing the heck out the PL can force a sale. 

[Polarboy 2311]

Were we total shite, badly set up to deal with Brighton and Lamptey, and was Bruce too slow to change things? Yes. But Brighton and Lamptey were also extremely good and if we shouldn't have gotten carried away by last weeks win, we shouldn't get carried away by one defeat from, again, a very good Brighton side. Of course I do worry about Bruce's ability to anticipate, plan, and then modify his tactics should he need to on the day. Fingers crossed for the court case once again

[Ayatollah Hermione 13842]

Problem is that “you don’t change a winning side” is such an outdated mentality. You needed more pace in the side to counteract Brighton and Carroll was never going to have any luck against 3 commanding centre halves. It shows a total lack of preparation, flexibility and nous. Not to mention his inability to coach and use his full squad in any kind of flexible manner. Brighton are a light year ahead of us in coaching and overall managerial vision; they’re aggressive with youth, they have a philosophy driven by Ashworth and they’re perfectly set up to exploit and batter one-note shambolic outfits like us

Do the players simply switch of from all football matters from the final whistle of one game until the kick off in the next game.

I’ll need to watch MOTD before commenting on the goals.Should I prepare myself for acts of cowardice?

If his grammar is anything to by, Ryder didn’t do enough English homework at school.

You're not meant to do it at school

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

Bruce completely out thought by Potter, they came with a game plan Newcastle looked clueless especially first half. ASM is not defensive minded, should have had more cover over that side after that kid's performance against Chelsea.

Many thanks for that.

Clear pen for the first goal.

WTF was Lascelles thinking of when he sprinted forward instead of running back to get closer or even challenge the Brighton striker for the second.

For the third,100% cowardice shown by the useless/clueless Lascelles.

[Howmanheyman 32893]

Essembee conclusion...... COWARDICE.

 

In this instance I'd plump for CLUELESSNESS.

Quote

 

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce to BBC Sport: “It was a really difficult afternoon for us. We gave ourselves a mountain to climb. We’ve gifted them the first two goals. When you start like that it’ll be a difficult afternoon.

“We changed formation at half-time and it helped us slightly but we couldn’t recover from an awful 10 minutes.”

 

"Since I’ve been here it’s like this. We do OK for a while then we throw a hand grenade in. We’ve got to be better than we were today.”

Bruce "we have to accept it"

 

Bruce a bit later "we won't accept it"
