Paddy Davitt delivered his Newcastle United verdict after Norwich City's dire 3-0 Premier League defeat.
Just when you thought the Canaries may be heading in a more positive direction, this was a desperate afternoon at Carrow Road.
Joelinton's brace and a Bruno Guimaraes early second half finish, after a gift from Tim Krul, sealed the hosts' fate.
Paddy reflects on a shambolic offering from Dean Smith's squad, questions the fight and the professional pride, and ponders whether the time has come to ramp up the planning for a Championship return by unleashing two young guns.
