Mmmm, not so sure marra. They have a 100% home record & three clean sheets from four games. We haven't won in how many, 11 now?
"We haven't won in how many, 11 now? " - whoa, what happened the other 8 games this season?? Seriously though Billy, know what you mean - we need to put a stop to that run.
ITMA I predict more trumpet sounds from the North Durham area........................................

The way you have set up reminds me of us last season. Very organised with a good out ball. You deserve your lead
How much did we pay for that twice relegated pile of ****e striker? 3 games, 4 shots, 4 goals. I hate it when smug bastards say I told you so but hey, I ****ing told you so (me and mushy rule) Lol 3rd time in 4 games we have taken the lead. We have to make this count now.
Proved me wrong anyway mate! McClean looks like a shadow of the man who showed promise last season though.
McClean needs to be put on the bench to give him time to reflect on his career so far. I think things have gone to his head and he needs to be brought back to earth with a bang. I'd play Sess wider, or get Vaughan on there if he is on the bench, or Colback moved left as Rose and him would complement each other. Either way, McClean should be replaced at half time.
Catts is really doing his job again, he's had a great start to the season, great stuff. Made sure Titus didn't get a yellow as well, good captains work.
McLean has been woeful for a while, he does need a kick up the arse, so I'd agree. Seb has been solid bordering good all season.
