Matchday Thread PNE v SPURS - 28/01/23 - KO:18:00 - FA Cup 4th Round

[By Tor]

3 nil . Spurs have deserved it better team 2nd half. We hav'nt offered much up front as usual, work man like but lack of quality is obvious. Cannon doest look great either.

Pass completion from Browne just isn't good enough generally these days. I actually thought today he would step up as he seems so fucking sulky in league games but no, it's not lack of application, he just can't pass/cross.

I hate the fact he is always shoe horned in.

Browne started the game really well. But once we went one down he decided he’d play further up as a midfielder , result an opportunity to show us his truly awful
Passing

We went to win the game and the best chance we had of doing that was to play exactly like we have, especially in the first half.

I'm not seeing that.

We went for 0-0 and failed

 

[SF]

Absolutely gutless, as per.

Everyone at this club can fuck off.

 

[lenny]

Pass completion is more than 2 in 5 which is great according to the Riddler

Browne has done ok defending but going forward he’s been absolutely shite l

 

[Michael]

All our attacking endeavours are just too slow and laboured - not just tonight, we look the same against all-comers.

Distribution from the back is hopeful, crossing from both flanks is poor, no creativity coming through the middle, and the strikers are too easy to hold at bay - again, not just tonight.

And when the game hits 70 minutes, everyone gets tired and even more sloppy.

Can't expect much more from this squad though - we can defend OK as long as we surrender possession and the others don't score, but really that's about it.

The way we play always reminds me.of a choreographed fight scene in a film. Just seems like they try so hard to do the simple things that comes so naturally to every other professional footballer in the country.

Trademark defeat to Prem team.

 

[Nobby_Troutface]

I’m glad I didn’t get excited about this game.
Crap. Didn’t even have a go.
Same old North End

 

[ashtonlad]

2 mins left it's only 3-0, there's time yet

Someone on pitch....Ando????

Depends how much red wine he's had, we needed his hat trick

 

[outreacher]

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what PNE have been about for the past 50 years.

It's why I'm now sat in the warmth at home rather than sat out there in the cold.

You don't want to be outdoors at your age Raef, not in this weather, cup of Ovaltine in front of telly.

 

[grarmy]

I'd love to say we gave it a good go but sadly it wouldn't be true

Happy with first half but really should have had a go at 0-1. Worryingly I think the players are always taking the safe option first!

Along with everyone else for a bit of balance.

 

[sabpne]

Ched the only player that put in a decent shift... Seems to be the same every game

 

[StayathomeFan]

0-7 last 2 home games - a joke

 

[Harry]

Oh well, bring on Brizzle next week.... See ya all.

 

[Cristiano Babb]

Worked hard , we haven't embarrassed ourselves here . But we haven't got one bit of creativity in this team.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Out with a whimper. The days of being in a lower division, giving Arsenal a proper scare and Wenger saying we played like World champions are such a distant fucking memory. Can’t take anything at all from this game, sadly.

 

[raefil]

We didn't even give it a good go.

Sad tactics, sad performance, sad team and right now a sad club.

 

[keasden]

Been supporting this club for over 52 years now and the single solitary giant killing act in the FA cup I have seen in that time was a 3rd round defeat of Derby county who were in the top division at the time. That was in 1979!! 1 fucking win over a prem equivalent club in the past 50 years. Fucking shite.

When will they announce when the Coventry match is being rearranged, or have they already?
