The Toon Army Thread

[NUFC Tiger]

Taylor starting
Anita at LB
Tiote CDM (where the hell is Saivet?)
Cisse starting (where is Mitro!?!)

Mbabu on the bench though. Hope he gets a run.

Come on lads!



Was a shocking game but a great last quarter. Watched the last 10 mins a few times today haha. We stole it for sure!

Funny team for sure! I was expecting Sissoko at LB, De Jong to get a start (after his good shift in the Sunderland game) and Lascelles to keep his spot - maybe they think with Darlow's inexperience, a more experienced player in Taylor can help keep the back 4 together?

Tiote and Cisse...time to show Rafa your worth!

As for the footy, I can't hold too many gripes - we had our chances and didn't take them. If we want to be a genuine top 4 side, we need to win even when we play poorly and with missing players absent.

I will feel a lot better if the Toon get us a win tonight!

Did you go to the game? I was there, I will confess though with 10 mins to go I went to the bar..... lol. I've done that many times though.

De Jong is a slow player and he will work best late when the pace is gone out of the game. He is steady and hopefully can come on a bit earlier though and show us his skills.
God we better win. Would be a great weekend if so

I was planning to but (thankfully) got roped into going to a birthday dinner instead by the missus haha.

Was frantically checking my phone the last few minutes and thought we might have been home when we we kicked a few clear. Nearly fell off my chair when I saw the final score!

Fair point on De Jong - I think his leadership could be valuable as we need someone to step up and pull the team with them. Shelvey could use the help. Maybe a half time sub if we're still in the game? Mitro and Perez could also be thrown into the fray too if we need a goal.

Need a win very badly today. A draw would be okay but would mean we need to probably knock off a stronger team somewhere else in the last 7 games.

Haha well done.


Not a bad start.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Looking sharp at least! Positive so far.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Good early save for Darlow - should help settle the nerves hopefully.

 

[robertg22]

Thank goodness for that flag. God the defending was bad then. My mum would be better than Anita.

 

[robertg22]

Darlow is shite

 

[NUFC Tiger]

They're really trying to expose how bad our LB spot is...

Need Sissoko to drop back and help cover Anita or it's going to end badly.

 

[robertg22]

Yeah was about to say that, they're really testing that right wing. Looking ominous.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

They're really all over us. We need to try and get a foothold, they'll only get more confident if we let them keep playing.

 

[robertg22]

If we are 0-0 at HT we absolutely have to bring Mbabu on for Anita.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Massive save for Darlow but we're at 6s and 7s down back especially at LB - we're in a lot of trouble!

 

[robertg22]

Darlow is shite

Maybe not

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Thrown into the deep end and keeping us in it. Just. Need the team to lift with him quickly!!!

 

[NUFC Tiger]

I'm just hoping we can get to HT at 0-0. Far out!

 

[james Dean]

Delivering high crosses in to the box, do they even realise Mitrovic isn't playing? Haven't even made their keeper break a sweat yet.

 

[james Dean]

We're gone, no doubt about it.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

**** bloody hell

 

[robertg22]

Was just a matter of time.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Huge 45 mins coming up. Bring on De Jong.

Would try Lascelles at LB also.

 

[robertg22]

BOOM

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Mitro!!!!

 

[james Dean]

**** YEAH MITROVIC!

 

[NUFC Tiger]

We've been much better this half - arguably on top. Need to nab a second if we can...
