Originally posted by Kevin Mcleod View PostCant agreed there Mush. I'd give them the trophy now. They will walk it imho. That was the best performance ever by any championship side would be my guess.
As for best performance ever there's been loads of away 6-0's over the years but didn't Bournemouth beat someone 8-0 away a few seasons back...

Originally posted by nasser95 View PostI think that's the point Kev made. This season certainly, we've not made many errors, and yet here comes a team that forces 6 errors. That's how good they were on the night.

Originally posted by Stanley View PostI disagree. You're giving them way too much credit. At least 3 of those errors were very much avoidable had there been the application of some extremely basic defending. Their 3rd goal was the perfect example of this but there were others too. So that really is not "how good they were on the night" but how pis$ poor we were on those specific and crucial occasions.

Originally posted by Kevin Mcleod View PostTeam with the least shots against them suddenly becomes the worst defence in the division in one night. Don't get it myself. Going by that record so far you just have to put it down to the other team being exceptional and much better.
We were setup to lose from the team sheet.

Just as one example - think some people need to re-watch their 3rd goal and see how much time and space Shelvey was given. Absolutely zero excuse for that from a defensive POV. It was a 100% preventable goal with just some basic man-marking and simply being aware of the player's presence. I bet Shelvey himself couldn't even believe it.
Again, a very similar scenario for at least one of their corners.

To be honest, once it goes down that fast, I think every team loses their focus. The difference between what usually happens and what happened on saturday was that Newcastle didn't let up. 90 percent of the time, a team that in charge cools down as they know they don't have to put in the effort to win anymore. Newcastle players kept running. Totally surprised me and I'm switching camps from "they're f ark ed this year" to "They'll win it""What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.
