WAZZOCK Fair play to Newcaslte for selling the tickets, but realistically it was always going to happen.
If I remember correctly, we've had two other matches in the past 12 months where the team have sold out the South Stand - Palace and Villa. Both of these clubs were significantly louder than the Toon Army, and I'm sure when Leeds appear on the 1st they will be too.
I must admit I was a bit disappointed with them.

genome TBF, I couldn't really hear our fans in Y25/26 from that angle either. The North Stand/lower reaches of the East Stand atmosphere really is dead as fcuk by the way.

Mr Optimist Plus, the difference between the first and second tier in terms of quality levels would have meant that headed chance Grabban had in the first minute would have been converted.

How do we actually test for this
seems to be another Shearer style cliche
no doubt they should convert more

I guess what I am clumsily trying to say is from past experience of watching our sometimes miserable top flight existence is that if the chance had been for the opposition like that in the premier league chances are the other team would have buried it. A defender slips, let's say Rosenior, the vast majority of times at the highest level it ends up in the back of your net. In the second division you can get away with the odd slip of let off a lot more frequently, which is probably why, great player that he is, Liam Moore is now playing for us and not Leicester any more. If we want to go up we have to convert that chance on Tuesday night because as it proved that turned out to be the best chance we had in the game.

Sorry wasn't having a go...things like this interest me
it's just something that's tricky to test for

I suppose the Sheffield Titanic just hit the iceberg of expectation. We have managed something others have failed to do. Taken top class strikers and rendered them unable to score. Only listened on the radio after driving to the top of a hill down here but who do you blame for lack of quality balls in? How do you score with Reach who is a good utility player but couldn't find his arse with both hands and a flashlight, let alone a net. Loovens as mobile as an oil tanker and a side with lots of effort but no end product. Lightweight midfielders with no substance or pace whose first instinct is the crab pass. Who runs at players? Only substitutes in the last 10 minutes everytime. Without FF there is no one who causes problems.The buck stops with CC. I am not blaming him, but who else is a fault? Like it or not the buck stops with CC. Whether or not he is at fault. I don't think he should be sacked. Maybe it would work maybe it wouldn't. But if we start next season as we are finishing this he should go. Maybe he is just an impact manager who goes in and does a job but cannot make the players any better. Maybe they always go backwards and thats why he moves on. He has a chance to build something here. Maybe he needs more time but it certainly isn't working at the moment. The problem is we do not know what is going on and probably never will so apportioning blame is difficult. Maybe he needs a better number two. Maybe we should bring in an old head as support. Lets be honest, if we had Warnock we would probably be challenging for the top two. CC just isn't cutting it at the moment.

From Despair To Where? To be fair to him it comes across like immediate post match stream of consciousness psychobabble from a fan of a team with reputably the best forward line in the division who just failed to score against a team with a defence with a marshmallow heart.
It's no worse than some of the shit we get on here after the team have spent 90 minutes passing between the back 4 only to lose the game with a hospital backpass. Cut him some slack. I'd be confused and befuddled if my team had just lost 2-0 at home to us.
