Feels like those teams have more quality players to fall back on when it comes to rotation though. It's a bit worrying for me that as soon as Bruno is out of the picture our football suddenly starts dropping levels to an alarming degree. Some players look like they feel out of their depth when he's not there conducting.

He seems to be starting these sort of games a lot, where there's not much space for him to attack. He's not a target man, he needs to be played in.

When Lascelles is playing. The rest of them are only good at heading it upwards.

Another 50p header from a set piece. Quelle surprise.

Well it's mildly better than the first half.

At least he's getting himself in the game this half, athough his decision making is still poor mostly.

Been our best player by some distance.

Intensity is our identity? Howe might want to remind some of our lads about this. Could take a leaf out of Gordon's book, he certainly brings it.

The goal was the first bit of good football we've played. Prior to that we've looked like Bruce's Newcastle, everyone on their heels waiting for someone else to make a run.

He actually took it very well. Seen plenty of them being saved.

That goal might have saved our season.

They deserve it. Attacked the corner with intent unlike our six foot daffodils.

We must have one of the weakest bumch of 6 footers attacking corners in all four divisions

I expected us to be much more up for it than this. Feels like we are still in 2nd gear.

The pitch looks tiny by PL standards.

I have a theory about that.

They only seem to wheel him out for our games, and he always looks glum as fuck.

Dyer and Souness as pundits on the Sky panel. Not exactly former pros who left Newcastle in the happiest circumstances.

Forest getting beat, we need them to stay up so they are forced to hold on to Chris Wood for an eye-eatering 15 mil.

At least it's only being reported as a minor injury. As long as Isak stays fit shouldn't be a massive problem other than we don't have options off the bench.

No offence but fuck your FPL team

He might be our sub option if Isak comes off.

Palace equalise and Leicester get a fourth. Am I in dreamland?

He'd frighten the life out of the back four.

Not really. If Isak get injured there's no striker to come off the bench. Down to our last option today by the looks of it.
