Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea

[Remember Colo]

Considering how awful our bench has been this season, I'd rather some of the current starters move to back-ups and replace the true cloggers wasting squad spaces with the upgrades. More than anything, I really need to see the decision makers demonstrate they know which positions require upgrades, and that we're willing to buy some more certain players - rather than use apparently limited resources to uncertain prospects.

But as I keep banging on, if this season ends with a sputter, I think it'll harm the momentum of the project and it will be harder to recruit the type of upgrades we need to right the ship. It was almost a certainty that this year couldn't repeat last season, but they'll need to reconvince players to join without European football and that everyone involved is committed and able to achieve the potential everyone associated with the new ownership.

We've conceded more away goals than ANY other team in the league this season.

That's f***ing embarrassing considering the state of some teams... Jesus. I can't wait for this season to be over.

Inexcusable really - especially considering all the health issues we've had, the backline itself hasn't been the worst hit.
