@DekaD7 – “Joelinton was excellent I thought today. His best 2 performances have come in defeats unfortunately but he was really good today I thought.”

@JamesCassidy16 – “First back to back loses since August. 7 points off relegation. Better than expected but we need some serious firepower bought in Jan.”

@BorisBedd – “Frustrating loss for #NUFC. Got level then brains fell out chasing down the ball, caught cold. Never looked like getting level again, subs were bizarre. Bit of a regression to the mean over the last couple of games, we aren’t a top half side.”

@tomdixon27 – “Dreadful performance yet again. Goals will come and we will get back to winning ways again.”
