[Archived] Preview of Newcastle United, 24th September.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

13 goals conceded in 6 games.

Damage limitation now

[perthblue02]

Just seen a swallow flying off from Ewood, looks like his mates didn't join him, snow on the way

After match presser gonna be painful, obviously going to play on the 3rd goal and the red card

Bet the DVD of this match doesn't get sent over to Pune

[Messi422]

Why it's a red? Olsson was not the last defender

[Ricky]

We've been awful.

And wtf is Samba doing hugging ba as he goes off!!! He's just scored 3 past the team you captain!!!!

[Drunx2002]

He's probably hoping that Newcastle "do an Arsenal" and score three own goals in the last quarter of an hour so that we can win again.

You don't stay in this league if you concede three goals every game. Even Orient managed two against us in midweek!

Let me vote right now...I'll do the same as I have in the last few. In the best interests of the club and everyone associated with it: KEAN OUT!

[damorover]

I don't care if we win this 4-3 he has to go awful!

[novella]

###### (Please don't use that word again) off you fat bald ####. Absolute embarrassment. Team set up all wrong. Poor substitutions. Failure to recognise our weaknesses after being exploited. Absolutely hopeless. Ow indians sack him and then (Please don't use that word again) off yourselves. ###### sick

[The Rover of Finland]

kean IS A FU***NG JOKE!!!

[danielwhite813]

His time surely has to be up now. We are only going one way DOWN!!!!!!

[daverich]

I hope the pro Kean army are watching this shambles, awful just awful

[Seggie]

We've been awful.

And wtf is Samba doing hugging ba as he goes off!!! He's just scored 3 past the team you captain!!!!

He may be thanking him for getting the manager sacked.

I can dream

[Stuart]

I swear Olsson hadn't already been booked. Ref showed yellow then red. Unless I missed it, but if I did then so did sky live scores.

edit: commentary says he was booked moments before but I don't remember it.

Awful as per normal

Skysports Scorecentre saying he was booked 'moments earlier'.

[booth]

Kean has got it badly sadly wrong today.

It's been a horror show.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I wonder if the Kean out thread will dramatically swing again tonight?

[John]

It was always going to be difficult away from home and the hysteria post Arsenal.

[Neal]

Another demonstration for the city game please Glen Mullan. No shape, leadership, passion.

Time to go Kean!

[hesfromburn]

dont worry grella is coming on 3 goals here we come. yukubu off????

[Hi Mack]

dont worry grella is coming on 3 goals here we come. yukubu off????

another 3 goals conceded.....1 shot on target, dreadful organisation.

I said it last season,last week and today KEAN OUT!

I wonder if hes going to be on every channel this weekend telling everyone

how good he is!

[G Somerset Rover]

Another demonstration for the city game please Glen Mullan. No shape, leadership, passion.

Time to go Kean!

What's the point, I admire Glen and everyone who protested, but the owners are too stubborn to pot Kean regardless of what we do. Anyway, the next half decent result we have will mean that there is a Kean love in, even if we have ten winless games between now and then.

[T.J.Newton]

the 4231 formation just isn't working are fullbacks and center mids are not good enough to play this formation,.

most managers play a formation that best suits the players available, not Steve Kean though,

[chris]

Agree no point protesting, parrticularly before a game.

Robbo: 6 did ok not too much wrong

Givet 3: the guys losing in the air and defending badly, dam hate when LeChuck is right

Samba 6: did ok

Dann 4: poor postining and also think his distribution is poor, I'm not sure who I agrued with who said he was worth 14 million but he needs to improve

Salgado: 4 just a poor poor player, age

Lowe: 4 just didn't do anything

Nzonzi 5: same as above but I did notice him slightly more

Olsson: 6 one of the better players until sent off

Holliet: 7 bit quiet but good goal worth a 7 for that

Yakubu: 5 just didn't see the ball

Formica: 4 lightweight and useless at the moment

Can't remember giving such low scores before, very depressing.

Very surprised too that a Newcastle side with no star names destoryed us.

[Tom]

Samba is a disgrace!

There is a lot more to say about the game but just wanted to get that off my chest

[imy9]

He has been criticised but I would play MGP on the wing in a 4-4-2.

No cover for the fullbacks, and the ones we have are slow so this a form of torture.

We give teams a 1-0 headstart before the game begins, when was the last time we kept a clean sheet?

[Mattyblue]

What's the point, I admire Glen and everyone who protested, but the owners are too stubborn to pot Kean regardless of what we do. Anyway, the next half decent result we have will mean that there is a Kean love in, even if we have ten winless games between now and then.

Welcome to the mind of a good percentage of our fanbase, they change their views on a manager game by game.

[wandel77]

Worst match since the horror against Wigan under Ince !
