    The performance on Saturday was woeful indeed and if nothing else I hope Pardew realises that simply putting three non scoring strikers on the pitch at the outset leaving no option on the bench is an utter disaster. At this stage I believe we are probably the worst footballing side in the division and it hasn’t happened overnight.

    Over the almost three seasons of TPs tenure the scoring pattern tells much. In 14/15 our strikers notched 22 league goals, in 15/16 this figure dropped to 14 and last season they collectively amassed 11. Over the same timescale our defenders scored 5, 7 and 12 respectively and yes, they outscored our strikers last season! This results from the two things we have consistently bemoaned – playing style and the quality of our recruits. Our current predicament is entirely down to the guy who has left but what can we expect from the guy who has joined?

    Thus far you would have to say that the early indications (and that is all they can be) are not too impressive and if he sets off with the same line up again his goodwill will quickly evaporate because we have absolutely no creativity on show. That said there ain’t a lot waiting in the hut either and the best we have are probably Morrison and Brunt. Never thought I would be writing that but both can pick a forward pass. Nobody sells really good players in January so no great expectations then but I do hope Pardew has some ideas in mind since otherwise we shall be buried this season.

    Right now I’m not sure who we can beat and I don’t think the team are either. A new man if nothing else generally sets a spark even if briefly but did anyone notice yesterday? Interesting times again!

    10th 13th 14th were the league finishes under pulis but now weve become the worst team in the league overnight? But pulis is to blame even though he isnt even here anymore? You cant justify what youve just said.
