“SOUL DESTROYIN’ STUFF!”
NUFC now have a Premyaa Leegue record, but not one to be proud of!
We have now dropped 27 points from winnin positions after conceding late equaliser to Forest 🌳 yesterday afternooon!
This iz in complete contrast to last season when we conceded just 7 points from winnin positions, which iz aalso a record at the other end of the scale!
The forst half of the game woz dreadful stuff, az wor near inability to have a shot on goal at The opposite Trent End, to where the Toon faithful were situated, woz to cost us dearly by full time! (Although Osula did have a couple of 'powder puff' efforts, which were easily saved by former Toon keeper Matt Sels!)
We were well on top in that period and completly dominated the game, but withoot a proven striker on the pitch, it seemed a lost cause!
It woz that bad that when the half time whistle blew, aa woz wishin it woz full time!!!
The 2nd period wozzint much better until Harvey Barnes and Jacob Ramsey made an appearance on the hour mark, replacin Jacob Murphy and Waltemade!
Bruno did have have a couple of shots and Osula hit the bar from a free kick, just ootside the box
Wissa woz sent on 10 minutes later to replace Osula, but there woz nee rection from the Toon fans on hiz appearence! (ie: He's definitely not player he once woz!)
However!--just 3 minutes later ‘super sub’ Harvey Barnes opened the scorin when he latched onto a Jacob Murphy through baall and he fired home into the roof of the net to send the travellin faithful into raptures! ⬇️
But az per usual, on these occasions, we let Forest off the hook and on the attack!
They missed several good chances az the clock ticked doon, and inevertably, with just 2 minutes of the 90 left on the clock, Elliot Anderson, who NUFC should never have sold, hit a sweet shot into the far corner of the net with The Pope in the Toon goal well beaten!
Yet again we conceded a late goal from a winnin position, to the utter dismay of 'us' at the far end! (It HAD to be Anderson, to spoil the party, didn't it just!)
7 minutes of stoppage time were added, az the home side went for the winner and we were thankful that the ref blew for full time with nearly 98 minutes on the clock!
The result left us in 13th place on 46 points,with little chance now of claimin a place in one of the European competitions next season!
Attendance: 30,691(3,048 p*ssed off Toon fans!)
The one very smaall crumb of comfort (if yoo can caall it that?) woz that we were now definatly safe from relegation to the abyss, with 2 more games to gan! (At home to West Ham next Sunday and away to Fulhim the followin Sunday!)
A season with far more 'downs' than 'ups' for certain ---and it cannit end soon enough!
