Match Day Thread Newcastle vs Man Yoo

Lejune back in and Clark and Mbemba not even on bench. As we are now in the bottom 3 after Huddersfields win we had better fight tooth & nail for something out of this.

 

Did you know that ever since Ashley took charge we have only once won more than 11 games in a season. ( according to my son )

 

Surely we won more than that in both Championship seasons?

 

He may well be thinking of PL seasons

 

But then you get everyone moaning about Joselu. You really can't win with a **** strike-force. Its all about the next game when Slimani's ready

 

Clark said to be injured.

 

What a pass by Dubravka! Some keeper.....

 

Unlucky Shelvey

 

I think we have done well today. Keeper looks good. Have to say! Early days mind.

 

****ing officials are dickheads.....should’ve been a penalty on Gayle

 

Ah a ref can’t give a penalty against manu though. Jose wouldn’t like that.

The ref bias is so clear for the top teams.

 

Listening on radio. Sounds like we are doing well

 

We are and our new keeper is playing well.

 

Was a penalty and ref had clear view.

Diame and Shelvey and Goalie all doing well.

 

Dubravka and Diame immense so far. Gayle should have pen/free-kick. Lejeune is a liability.

 

Looked decent first half. Should have had a pen but ref bottled having to make the decision.

 

A decent first half, plenty of fight and endeavour.....if only we had a bit of quality up front we could be ahead, if we stay up it will be down to the teams fight and determination, if the 08/09 team had half of the current teams attitude they would’ve finished in the top 10 instead of going down!

 

A draw puts us up 4 places and a win lifts us 5 places.

Chippy’s logic would be a draw would seem better value.

 

We desperately need a goal scorer. If we had one decent CF I think we would be in a pretty comfortable league position. I'm a little bit concerned we are not going to see enough of Slimani. Thigh injuries can be niggley

 

Tell him to get a life and leave stats like those to Nev.
