well that was a kick in the teeth , i hope pardew knows we cant play with 3 up front it doesnt work with 4 defensive midfielders , dah even i know that, we cant play with 3 at the back either. come on wake up smell the coffee ,we dont have the players to play that formation. i hate to say it after 2weeks but pardew isnt the manager we needed. were not going to pick anything up over the next two weeks , bottom by xmas , no great escape with these players. have a clearout now get ready for championship ,start giving those youngsters in the academy a chance to shine, lets be realistic we are awful and its not going to change. ? whos our next manager? i can see pardew being gone by easter ,unfortunatly to late, weve got a tough xmas i dont see us picking up any points. sad i didnt watch todays game i did forcast the result. a depressed exiled baggie fan.
