I have to agree with this. Somehow I had a bad feeling when Taylor is going to take the freekick, and Shay is rather to the "left" hand side of the goal. He shd be standing rather to the center as if the ball travels at the same speed to the left or right - he could cover both sides. The problem is if you stand in the middle of the goal on free kicks, you want see the ball before its over the wall. The wall yesterday was to big(5-6 men in it+some wigan players) so Given had to stand that much to the left if he was gonna see the ball. But this is really something the coaches and det goalie should have been working on the training-ground.

Was he injured or just tired? dont think he is match fit to play more than 30+ min tbh. It might be the achilles injury, he did have his fair share of kicks by the wigan players.

Cant believe that Kinnear didnt take him off at half time, or even in the middle of the first half. Did he even hit a newcastle player with a pass today

Was it just me, or was that ref shite?

Butt is having his worst game in a long time... And now it seems like he is singnaling to the bench that beye is injured...

Why on earth do we have 3 strikers on the bench today? We should atleast had one more midfielder on the bench...

Bit of a risk. It will always be a risk to play new players, especially young ones. We have always said that we cant throw in young players in relegationfight, when we were in the top we couldnt throw in the youngsters in the champions league fight... when can we throw in youngsters? When we are in the lead with 4+ goals? How does a player get experience, and yet alone premier league experience? By sitting on our bench or playing reserve footy, ofcourse not. Neither going on loan to other leagues. We seriously need to change our mentality towards our younger players, and give them a chance to show themself.. Just take 3 of the top 4 as an example, man utd, liverpool, and arsenal all gives youngsters a try from now and then.

I hope we get in some central midfielders, thats were we really lack players imo.

Have a bad feeling about this game... when was the last time we won 3 games in a row...

Owen score 1 in 2 games for us, and is injured 3 of 4 games. So if you count how many games newcastle play and how his goal ratio is pr newcastle game, then it isnt excactly good is it. We should be able to replace a striker who scores 9-11 goals a season, shouldnt we?

Xisco cant speak english, so he cant play football in england.. But yeah, would like to see Xisco start again.

Bellamy. He even got the same injury record as Owen.

Or maybe he will see who is after him...

as long as he makes assists, he can lump it for my liking

Aye best player for WH again today. Love the way he's always at it...Won't let the defenders rest. Did Terry bring him down for a pen? Dont think so? But Terry struggled with him, and got damn how quick bellamy is. He got great accelaration + pace, and he runs at everything.

After watching Bellamy today for west ham, i so want him back.. its a joy watching him play

Riise isnt a good defender, I rate Enrique much higher than him. Enrique is much better defending than Riise, Riises best quality is going forward and he isnt good at that either. The most irritating thing about Riise is that he doesnt track his man back home, he always just slow jog back defensivly. If we go and get Riise in january or ever, I promise you that you will hate him and start boo him.

Keep Owen, sign Butt as coach.

If we are gonna sack Kinnear, for once we should get a manager in before we sack the manager we got.

Totaly agree with all u said here.

how exactly has he been very poor? He's not looked up on some key occassions today. I think Zoggy was one of our better players on the pitch. He worked very well def. and he ketp wide instead of comming way to often in the middle like Jonas did today. Owen should have gone out instead of Viduka, he was so shite today. Think the ref was more involved with the ball then what he was.

We're so low now, so I would take Steve Bruce. We need some stability, and mid-table pos instead of relegation fodder would be nice.

Get Cacapa out, bring in Bassong. Think Cacapa is "injured" again, like he was against Portsmouth...

If we played at 3pm today, we would most probably not be shown on the tv. I love that we dont play at 3pm, so I can watch the game
