RocktheCasbah apart from Nottingham Forest and Liverpool away from home

TBF they are the 2 strongest teams in the top 10 based on the season so far.

We all knew we underperformed in the first half of the season. The question from there was can we do better and improve enough to catch Liverpool. Without Saka that poor first half of the season is starting to look extremely costly as its hard to predict a level of consistency needed to catch Liverpool without our talisman.

Qwiss I think, specifically on Tuesday, there were tonnes of people late into the ground. The turnstile we went in on was really slow going as there were loads of people with bags using the wrong queue, but we were still in 20 minutes before kick off. I don't know how you can be late for an 8pm kick off really.

The main contributor though, was definitely the absence of the Ashburton crew - I mean, obviously the result didn't help but it's not like Newcastle were on top of us from minute 1.

    Qwiss not sure - not really on top of socials now so no idea what's being said online. But I was at the Palace game in the previous round and although they were obviously not in the Clock End, they were still creating an atmosphere down the other end of the ground. So I don't know whether people just weren't there.

    I don't remember them not being at the Ipswich game, but I wasn't feeling great (and was also up the other end anyway), so it's possible they weren't there and I just didn't notice.

    QuincyAbeyie which seems utterly moronic. The last day of the 22/23 season was an incredible experience in the stadium, I think it might be my favourite game I've ever been to - and they were a huge part of why.

    QuincyAbeyie yeah I read about that. There was talk of some bad behaviour from them. I get that the club has to be careful with stuff like that but I get the feeling they don't really appreciate the atmosphere those guys bring.
