Big Geordie

Lennon and Kone both miss sitters.

If Dummett has had to go off injured - McClaren has his excuse tonight... injuries.

Makes you wonder how long Ashley will wait until he presses the panic button, and sacks McClaren. Said to a mate of mine today, that we should be looking for 4 points from Everton and West Brom..... as it is, I said we'd maybe's get 1 - a draw on Saturday. Simply not good enough.

I wonder how McClaren will try and defend this performance? He's taking us down as things stand. Mbemba off injured - Lascelles on.

Usual terrified tactics away from home by McClaren then! No pressing of the ball - no focal point up top. Same old shite, different day.

Too early to say game over?

Lennon scores.

Lukaku puts a free kick just wide.

howay!

That's a pearler

WBA level

This is what is was like to be a Mag during 2008/09. I think Newcastle have got to be looking at picking up 4 points from the next two games. As it is, I think we will get one. I've little faith in McClaren and most of the players to pull their finger out.

Leicester obviously have a terrific team spirit, with a wily old manager and an ambitious board.

Blyth 1-0 down at Workington

Disgusting.

What's happened at Villa? (Am listening to Blyth at Workington)

Lots of Ashley apologists have come out of the woodwork over the last 24hrs or so. I despair.

Typical of this club totally deserve to go down and I honestly think they will - if you can't score goals an d you keep letting them in you go down. And the point of having that useless knacker in charge makes it even more likely. We know how much Ashley likes a gamble...... He's going to fail this time he has had the whole window to get a proven stiker, defender and left back and has failed fucking miserably - but are we reaally surprised. Aye - makes you wonder whether the Berahino bid was just another PR exercise. The fact that we have to wonder, says it all about Ashley and his motives. There is absolutely zero trust for him to do what's needed. It's always bare minimum.

Oh well - that's that then eh? Gonna be a big gamble to rely purely on Doumbia to get goals.

I'd take the lad back. Knows the club and the area and would bring much needed experience. Probably needs a run of games, which I believe he's not had at the scousers.

Same at the end of every window.

I suspect this is nearer the truth on this one. It has Ashley's stink all over it.
