Big Geordie

Blyth end up winning 3-1. Terrific win.

Make that 3-0

Blyth currently 2-0 up at South Shields

Again - the lads not fully fit. Same as Gordon.

Lack of rotation, too many games and injuries. We badly need an injection of new players come January.

He's not fully fit.

Unfortunately the calls in the media for his sacking will only get louder. Me - it's a bumpy time, but Eddie will see us through.

Radio Newcastle saying Tripps is playing DC?

Also worth pointing out that we (as a club) have a terrible Boxing Day record.

This feels to me like a reminder of NYD 1990 - Newcastle v Wolves and Steve Bull. A holiday time apparition. Too many players not fit, or desperately out of form. Eddie's got a job on.

The panic on here. I think we have done OK going forwards, but we always knew that Elanga was gonna get the run on Dan Burn. Gibbs-White is a really, really good player and is their key man when playing on the counter. Again - we have players who are out of form and probably not fully fit. Keep a bit of perspective.

Save!

Would just take a win today - good performance or not.

2-2 draw for Blyth at home to Chester, yesterday.

I still maintain that the lad's not fully fit and he's putting a dampner on his game - same as Gordon.

Isak was 'just' offside, IMO. It was the right call, unforutnately.

Huff and puff today, but we look short of ideas, confidence, fitness and belief. Clearly some of these are having to play with knocks, others are out of form and having to play out of necessity. Not much we can do other than keep going and hopefully we'll get some new bodies in, in the New Year. It's also worth noting that Luton have always been a bogey team, during my life time. Especially when they had their old plastic pitch.

They look as if they've wanted it more from the off, and that's really disappointing. Away form (injuries or not) is a real concern.

We look really out of form.

If Newcastle went to join these greedy cunts - it would be me done as well. Let the likes of Barca, Real, Juve, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG fuck off to do their own thing. Newcastle stay put.

New target for the bell-end boo boys then, eh? Shameful. Trips will be fine - he needs some time out and a rest.

Just reading Football 365 this morning - they seem to be doing their best to push for Eddie to get the sack. Mind, they have been for a few months - touting Mourinho to get the job.

Snap - same age as you, Beth.

Eddie says Botman's half-time sub was planned (45mins only) Krafth has a knock after that challenge from Jackson (IIRC)

Also - shite from Sky tonight. Comms said that the ref had a good game (he didn't!) and also, why again is ex Sunderland player Don Goodman commentating on a Newcastle game? The bloke was almost willing a Chelsea equalizer.
