    Literally no excuse for all three of the goals that we have conceded. Play like this Thursday and the season will be over.

    Absolute garbage, unbelievably poor at the back. Our conference at the back is shot to ****, going forward don’t think we look as bade Ralph to hairdryer.

    I get where youre coming from, but at this level that play was totally inexcusable. 30 secs from HT - kick it out, anywhere but straight to them.

    We surrendered 9 goals in 11 PL matches in December and January. We've surrendered 12 in 1.5 matches in February.

    That's not ideal.

    Forster's kicking and distribution makes McCarthy look like Steven Gerrard

    Just disappointing about the amount of goals we literally give away. At seconds before half time put your foot through it. Nee to come out fighting 2nd half. Get 1 we can get 2...

    I think this game has the hallmarks of a classic.

    Saints V Norwich at Carrow Road, anyone.

    Well despite Ralph's upbeat pressers you can see how fragile our confidence is and Newcastle are capitalising on that. That said, I still think we can get something out of this game. They are leading courtesy of an own goal and a keeper howler. That aside it's been pretty even and the front four are playing really well. For the second half, Newcastle are running out of options. Two subs already and Maximum is limping around - can't possibly last 90 minutes. Come on Saints. We can do this.

    He's hasn't conceded 12 in a week though.

    I think this is showing just how important KWP has been for us.

    We’ve gifted them three goals. Apart from that it’s just adapting to the conditions. Are do believe we can get something here.

    The back five look awful, JWP and Romeu look scared at least the front four look lively but Ings looks out of form big style

    McCarthy cocked up, but that was a total team failure as well, literally went from an attacking free kick with under a minute of the half left to conceding.

    We are clearly sacrificing the game for Wolves next week!

    We have been utterly brutal at the back. Pity as up till 3 weeks ago we'd been solid. Make no mistake about it this is a poor Newcastle outfit and they are breezing past us like we're not there and making stupid mistakes. At 2-1 I felt we were well in it. I do think we have the ability to score a couple to get back into it but our defense has more ability to concede more sadly

    I still think we are in this.

    Newcastle aren’t Man U
