So who do we have away ? Bruno, Trippier, Schar, Tonali, Isak?

Our big matches have tended to be against teams most would say have better and deeper squads. We'll be there soon.

I'm only disappointed in that we were leading and dominating and had a very good chance to put it beyond doubt. I'd ha e took a point before and happy that we can dominate a team like West Ham. Just need to create more against low blocks. It'll come

True and it's come at a good time for us.......... but its still going to seem like forever!

13 days until Palace. Might as well be eternity.

First sentence aye but West Ham a lower league team ? They’ll be upper mid table with a good shout of Europa places.

We win thatvwith Joelinton or Willock.

Would have took a point at the start but feel gutted now and feel like it's a a dropped two.

Tonali could and should have blocked it

Murphy played there before as well, however Hall isn't exclusively a full back

Anderson will be wide left.

Seems strong if someone gets a block in. He's still able to get past.

Subbed off 62mins.

Yeah I was on about the metro. You'd have thought west from Central would have been the way to go given the space from the old line was already there.

He's done OK but fluffed a one on one (soft straight at keeper), took on a ridulous chip from the bye line when probably should have held it up and shot into a crowd after cutting in when others were better placed for the lay off. Encouraging that he's getting into these positions though.

They have a point.

You always seem to be in the know with this sort of stuff. Was westwards from St James' ever really a serious consideration ?

Not a chance imo. I always though the Leamside to Washington would come first.

I walk it regularly, Lemington/Newburn to Wylam. Always seemed strange that the plans westward would be from St James'.

I was told it was there for possible future extension to the west end. Could never see it myself like.

Would you need a changeover track ? Eastbound trains could arrive at Monument and the driver simply changes ends on arrival and their is a changeover point between Monument and Manors if needed.

It's not even well used on Match day.

Wasn't it always assumed that any Gallowgate extension would incorporate the St James' metro site ? The question is whether the metro station stays or goes.
