Newcastle 1-0 Wolves (13/09/25) - Verdict Thread

[Wolftone]

If he sticks with the formation we started with today, there’s no place for Fer or Arias in the starting 11. Two of the signings we were pinning our hopes on to bring some creativity. We’re also one injury or suspension away from not being able to play it anyway, as we didn’t sign another centre mid.

It’s almost like there’s no plan.

But he's 'creating an identity'. Just not a very good one.

Never have felt so disconnected from the club than I do now. There’s nothing endearing about the club, the players are characterless and average.
The ownership are non interested, the cost is through the roof.

This is where I'm at too. The playing squad? Everyone with eyes can see they're just not good enough. It's an assembly of parts, not a team. Them continuing to lose would suck especially if we felt any strong connection to them but theres no Coady or Neves type let alone someone with attacking flair. Just resigned already to most of them helping us onwards towards relegation and leaving next summer.

Vitor is the same. Wasn't in a rush to buy him a pint last season anymore than I'm rushing to see him sacked now. The hand he's been dealt with is the hand he's got. How much at fault will he be when he's eventually made the scapegoat? Just ugh, doesn't matter, anymore than whom his replacement is. How they untangle his baggage (Teti) is just as much an issue.

There is one person at the top of the club who elicits a very strong emotion though...

It seems Agbadou had his purple patch at the same time as Periera.
