When will any of you give the Club a chance? A clean slate means for everyone. Every player has lost something under Pardew and Carver at el. SM is a COACH so maybe he feels he can improve these players mentioned OR he is playing them to safeguard the fitness of his first eleven and putting some players in the shop window.
Don't understand how you can say Anita is poor mind. Las season he was our best passer of a ball.

8 yesrs of chance after chance AND they have a chance to improve and still awful defenders which will come to light next week
If McLaren has not watched this team beining mauled last season (every other manaher has) he s not the manager to be given a chance Geez oen your eurs with
Taylor and Willisomon on Saturday Southampton will have a field day
Anita is stop gap much better players than him

Trad what is written JT you are that desperate for a mediocre team anything is OK for you

Any manager starting with Taylor and Williamson needs his head looking at and that applies to Obertan and Gouffran also

McLaren was not a lot of peoples choice
He has a massive job & as has been written sticking with 3/4 who are frankly too poor will indo any good he is doing.

He is not a great manager but we all wish him well and if he hets 2/3 players being reported he has a chance but too many people are already blinkered

Art your acting like it's life or death it's pre season for god sake, things are going to take time, months possibly a good year. I'm prepared to wait that as these changes that McClaren is making will have hit the players hard after 5 years with the dinosaur Pardew. The high pressing is going to take time for the players to become good at, retaining the ball more is going to take time etc

Seems like you know JT but you don't
At best a mid table team as long as Ashley
owns Newcastle

Realistic not miserable JT a few new faces defenders especially will give everyone a lift
Why should Newcastle fans who support their club in droves
have to accept 2nd rate from Ashley

New season unfolds and reaction will be interesting after
the first 6 games.

soz JT but I agree with Vida for a change. There is little to be positive about McLarens team so far. But I think with time he should get better performances.

Hurts me to say it, but I agree with Vida. (And about the shirts). Ashley has no ambition above mid-table, but I'm reasonably confident for the coming season. Last two seasons we were doing ok up to Jan, but then deliberately and mistakenly went out of both cups. With nothing to play for, no motivation and then Carver in charge the wheels came off well and truly. Let's hope the momentum can be maintained for the full 38 games.
On another topic, I wouldn't bother with Austin. If an additional striker is required I' d push Sissokho up front where his strength height and pace could do some good, and free up a place in midfield.
And as Ashley doesn't get a halfpenny out of me, I'm £50 a match better off and much happier on the outside, Art, than you could ever be paying good dosh to watch dross on the inside.

Stick with your principals Vic as that is all we fans have.
We all want success and frankly entertaining
not having to try and speculate why this Oaf
does and everything revolves about money for him.

One day I hope we can all be in agreement
about the club managet and team.

Listen, by no means am I happy to settle for "little improvement" from last season, absolutely not, the point I'm trying to make is that I'm prepared to wait, for example I'm hoping Williamson will be gone by September, if he isn't, then I will be disappointed with McClaren. I hope we as a fan base can stick behind McClaren and be patient and we will soon finally have a team that can and WANTS to compete

to be fair to mclaren williamson has been the only fit cb for him to play.
I am still disappointed by the lack of organisation at the back. The errors we have seen are defending 101 for the goals we have concede. Don't commit to a tackle upfield, don't play the ball across your own box, don't play offside traps when you're 1 vs 3.
Even I could coach that! We are talking errors that under 12s make.
If it is the fault of the players there must be grounds for gross misconduct.
