Newell is a cracking player and will thrive with better players around him.

It’s hermit crab without the dry humour 😂


Sorry HC if you read this 😜

You're missing the obvious point. Nobody has an issue with critiquing him, it's the 25 "waste of a jersey", " heart of a mouse", "wage thief" comments that inevitably come Joes way whenever the team doesn't perform that is getting a bit borin
If we don't win, I fully expect to come on here and see a thread about Newell, tens of posts in different threads targeting him.

There's fans that don't rate him, sound, there's ones that do, but there's also a section of our support that use Joe as a scapegoat when they need a wee moan.

Never seen any comments like that, if they are their very poor , as much as I don't rate him as a player.

His cheerleaders are,in my opinion,blinded and try and reinforce by claiming there is an agenda against him.

I like you do not see this overwhelming personal stuff being referenced on Newell,some, but not this deluge that some are claiming.

This thread is pretty awful, usual kinda comments.

And that's one of about 6 Newell threads in recent times. There was the one about him on his own during pre-season, the one with Campbell, this one and that's just off the top of my head.

There's a huge difference between thinking we need better and never shutting up about having a go at the one player, which many on here seem to enjoy.

It's a common theme with our fans, think Rocky, Craig, Hanlon, Stevenson, Hogg, Nish, all players I can imagine getting some pretty horrible treatment from our fans despite being the least of our issues at the time. Our fans need a scapegoat, they always have and always will, just so happens because he started terribly, Newell was a very easy target for it.

To claim you've never seen it is either ignorance at it's highest or just lies, as anyone with eyes has seen the abuse.

I tried to say he's a scapegoat on that thread and got "he's no a scapegoat he's garbage". He's 100% become a scapegoat.

I can be negative and perhaps over critical at times.
However if you think Newell is excellent you are watching a different game to me.

Yep. It's really sad. This place was extremely toxic at that time and in his and Doidges case it's never moved on.

You wrote a lot worse about Malian (whether justified or not).

Some posters seem to have adopted the role of protecting Newell at all costs

Some to the point of being agressive,claiming their view is the omly one and those disagreeing are ignorant.

Honestly, you are not his Mum !

My view is that Newell is a tidy footballer.

He’s technically good with both feet and able to control a ball quite well. He can find a pass at various ranges. He can weigh in with a tackle too. He also works fairly hard.

He isn’t perfect though. His shooting is poor, he doesn’t offer a goal threat and he isn’t direct enough. He also has the tendency to give away silly fouls.

He isn’t our worst player though, not by a long way. I don’t understand why so many fans have fastened on to him specifically. I don’t get it at all and I hope that him and his fellow players don’t visit this site.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

This is an absolute chronic car crash of a thread.

You’d think we lost 4-0 to Hearts with Newell scoring 2 og’s the way some people are going on.

Newell was/is one of our better players.

Get a f’n life and support the player and the club.

Very much the same way certain posters have adopted the role of abusing Joe anytime we play, apples and oranges

Using “Cheerleading” in a somewhat negative sense to refer to fellow supporters ?
I get the point but that’s quite a revealing turn of phrase.
I think notions of what. Supporter is and does have become a bit debased. But each to their own.

It's pretty twisted when backing one of your own players makes you a "cheerleader."

It's maybe replacing 'happy clapper' as the next way to vilify fans who like supporting the team and it's players as opposed to finding all different ways to hate the club.

Why / how folks continue to support. Newell is just incredible. He is way sub - standard. Consistently.

Kind of past moaning at Newell now. It’s not him that continues to pick himself. Him being one of our main players is a reason why we’ll continue to see performances like today. It’s the same thing from him most weeks and it’s just not very good for me. But it’s not going to change any time soon which I find a bit depressing really.

Come off it.

Newell has been pretty much crap for 4 years with the odd glimpse of quality. He’s the problem, not everybody else.

People wouldn’t have to keep posting it if he wasn’t inexplicably still playing every week for us after 4 extremely underwhelming years.

Until he stops starting every week, people will continue to moan, because you can guarantee that the majority of performances from him won’t be good enough

In a way it's great but we were rubbish today and Newell was non existent.
He gets more stick than some because the fans realise he has more ability than most.
We got away with it last week with a last second equaliser but the signs are not good.

Yes, it is when they are simply not good enough.

Joe Newell is probably our best midfielder.

And that sums up the problem with this squad.

Honestly don't think he is. Think Kenneh is far more effective in his role than Newell is at his. But even then you're right, shows the problem with the squad.
