Was playing LWB, think he's primarily going to be used there...

At this moment, the only sections open are the whole of the East Stand and blocks A and B (standing) of the Strawberry Corner - plenty of tickets in all of them. They'll open more parts of the ground once the East Stand sells out (which I'm confident they will do).

Next week:

Sad to see these two go as they were pivotal, key players for the back to back promotions. (Understandable moves away for both given their lack of game time this season).

He was already suspended for the first leg of the semi final due to him picking up that yellow card against Brentford.

Currently making my way to the ground now, it's a trek from Manc city centre.

Not ideal, urgh. Could try and email/call up the club shop?

You might need to login separately on the shop site.

He did but deleted it later on (more or less around the time of lovejoy's post). We'll see later on what the craic is but would say that because he's posted something just there, he must have travelled down with the squad.

He's uploaded a match day type story on Instagram this morning, must mean he's in the squad today.

They might have done the odd one in the past but they only really started uploading full matches this season (and it's usually the day after the actual match).

Warm down for the subs who didn't come on.

Thought Leazes East Corner was decent tonight. Overall, think it was an improvement to West Ham, felt the presence of everyone tonight.

I'm a Mags+ member and I've only won 2 ballots - Wimbledon and Brentford in the League Cup. Been consistently unsuccessful for all league games so far.

Today wasn't a classic by any means but we have to remember this is still a team in progression and everyone, from Becky Langley to the players are still learning (that is, players who are playing the level for the first time and players getting accustomed to Becky's style). I would say we've done rather admirably so far this season given that this is our first season in the Championship. Patience is needed, the fact we're outside contenders for promotion in our first season in the league says it all (I know we've invested a lot but still need to gel everyone). Give it time, we have the right manager/head coach and a great group of players imo.
