Match Day PNE v Boro

[SF_]

Tough game, they're not doing as well as expected but they've still won 3 of their last 5 and are only 2pts behind us. Assombalonga, Ayala, Braithwaite, Howson, Randolph... top team at this level.

Hoping that piece of shit Pulis gets dog's abuse all game, a couple of pies lobbed at him from the Town End wouldn't go a miss.

Would like to see Harrop in for Horgan, the rest of the team will depend on fitness, especially Cunningham after his first game back. Lots of talk about Alan Browne and him not providing enough creativity but his pressing from the front will be needed against this lot I think.

Maxwell
Clarke, Huntington, Davies, Cunningham
Pearson, Gallagher
Barkhuizen, Browne, Harrop

BIG game this with Villa playing Brizzle and Blades vs Derby. Win and we could be 5th.

Harrop, Robinson, Johnson and Woods in.

Horgan, Browne, Gallagher and Cunningham drop to the bench.

Like that team, shows some decent depth that we can rest those four and field a team which is probably even stronger, bar Cunningham.

 

[TTOCS]

Certainly looks like the home team deserve their half time lead. 72% possession and 13 shots to 1.

 

[mossypne]

Absolutely threw that away. Pathetic

Fuming after that, battered them first half and needed a bigger margin than 1. Allowed them to take the lead by conceding a soft free kick then failed to make the most of our dominance, although the bar and a couple of good Randolph saves helped them.

Second half they changed things up and pressed more and the introduction of Gestede made a difference but still no excuse for letting that lead slip. Awful.

Time to say bye to Horgan, another shite cameo, he's not good enough for a play-off chasing side. Need to write him and Boyle off as failed gambles.
