Back on the hill today at Glencoe on #skipatrol turned out to be an excellent day - load of fresh snow about.

@jonesyall3 @M_Gi11on Huge regression mate.

@M_Gi11on @marknicols We were brilliant at it two seasons again and majority of last season now we look so poor at it .

Sunderland’s winner from here. This hole has been here are season and it’s caused all sorts of issues. Yet still not sorted. #nufc totally free and untracked. One pass and midfield cancelled out.

@jonesyall3 @M_Gi11on Definitely - both points.

@M_Gi11on @marknicols The individual error count is huge as well mark but we get overrun so much in midfield it putts huge pressure on our defence

@StevieW91503432 @cornedbeefpie Is not be bothered at all if both Tino and Willock are sold.

@cornedbeefpie @marknicols Nailed it. Unforgivable by Willock! Anyone can mess up a pass but jogging back after doing it is shameful. Especially as he had only been on the pitch circa 25 mins so can’t blame tiredness 😡

@Andrewstockdal5 I said in my opinion Andrew. I’m allowed one. Move along.

@marknicols Mark I'm curious what your job is at the club to have so much information about the motivation inside the club

Behind the scenes at the club is a bigger mess than we all think imo. Throughout the whole set up from catering staff to coaching. Low motivation throughout the whole business and all a bit rudderless. I’m hoping this is being sorted. But I’ll not hold my breath. #nufc

@decka1969 Idiots. 🙄

These are our so called supporters. Absolute pond life #nufc

@Dazbillcoop Very much so.

@marknicols Correct, thats why you have a 6 or CDM in the lineup. Pointless having a DM if he isnt tracking the 10 in space.....

@CalmNintruiged All fair points mate.

@marknicols Taking all of that into consideration, and I'm not for one second dismissing it, I refuse to believe we are man for man worse than many of the teams we aren't beating. So we are being outfought, out-managed, and outperformed. The fans give all, that's all they expect of the team.

@femalefanbase For me there is no one running things it seems.

@marknicols I wish we could get the inside view from some NUFC employees! For example, has a board meeting ever been held and who attended?

@JB4t00n Let’s hope so. I’m not convinced.

@marknicols Exactly right, project has been all over the place since the start. They have been lucky we've over performed. Only care about consistent revenue increase and assumed the rest will fall in place whilst constantly chopping/changing. Arrogance/delusion. Hopefully lessons learned

@Dazbillcoop Literally everyone can see it yet it doesn’t change. Bizarre.

@marknicols It has confused all season, it was blatant vs West Ham, Brighton and Brentford, just cutting through 5 players in midfield with one pass. There has to be someone either dropping into the hole or pressing tbe player with the ball. It really is that easy.

@jonesyall3 Yup. Bang on. It’s sloppy and lack of focus.

@marknicols The drop is huge and we can’t blame three games a week on simple ball retention like

@jonesyall3 There is a lot of that happening. The passing this season has been so bad. Give the ball away cheaply over and over.

@marknicols The hole comes from us being unable to pass a simple ball ten yards for me sometimes mark then we get caught out so high up the pitch.

@jonesyall3 That’s exactly it. Chasing a fantasy!! We need to be looking at players that want to come!

@marknicols To many changes every season for me mark and it seems to take us ages to get players in mind compared to some teams . We wasted to much time on players who clearly didn’t want to come for me hopefully lesson learned for this summer.

@FishandChipsNE 😂😂😂

Totally agree. That pie I had at half time was disgusting and probably the reason we lost if I’m honest #nufc

@decka1969 @TheCinesthetic Superb film.

@TheCinesthetic Leon. What a film.

What movie is 10/10, yet hardly anyone has heard of it?

@cornedbeefpie I thought maybe he’d turned a corner after a few much improved performances. (Not hard) but watching that makes me want him away asap. Like a lot of them tbh.

@marknicols It just makes no sense. He just lets him go

@hogmeisterman Every time mate

@cornedbeefpie He was a disgrace. Not bothered at all. Has to be moved on.

@marknicols Bearing in mind he’d given the ball away needlessly, willocks desire to recover here was fucking pathetic. Fresh legs, derby game, dying moments and he stands watching like a pleb. Wouldn’t get another minute this season for me #nufc
