The Dolman Pragmatist Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have defended Lee Johnson up until now, but after last night I find myself running out of reasons to do so. In particular, I almost wept when I saw the names of those on the subs bench: Fielding, Magnusson, Pack, O'Neill, Reid, Tomlin, Wilbraham As I said to someone at the ground before the match, I would have had all seven in my starting line-up last night. I'm sorry, but Hegeler and, to a slightly lesser extent, Djuric looked very very poor last night. Hegeler I thought gave one of the most insipid performances I have ever seen from a Bristol City player. I felt sorry for Taylor, who looked almost equally inept but then was getting little of no service at all. Other players out there don't even deserve a mention, they were so absurdly bad. I would put out the following side at Newcastle: Fielding; Wright, Flint, Magnusson; Cotterill, O'Neill, Pack, O'Dowda; Reid, Tomlin; Wilbraham (and O'Dowda is only in there because Joe Bryan was so shocking last night that I cannot believe he will be allowed to start on Saturday). Dark days indeed. Last night was the first time I acknowledged the probability of relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was the first time I acknowledged the probability of relegation. watched a different game to me then, thought both were alright, I thought I problem was mainly tactical (why the **** did he instruct them to sit back?) and full backs yet again, everytime fulham had the ball they attacked down the flanks, everytime they didn't hey had players on the flanks stretching us, the full backs were static, not marking, not picking up runs Goldburne and Mathews wouldn't of got a 1 out of 10 last night from me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Johnsons new buzz phrase. " the bench will win it for us" . Reminds me of the joke about the centipede coming on at half time and scoring seven goals . When asked why he didn't start it was because he was still putting his boots on.
