This is a great point regarding the media talking complete shit. Desperate for both players we were. I suspect DCL link is exactly the same. A passing interest perhaps.

The only way I can Guehi happening is if it was dependent on them signing a replacement and they were waiting on the lad from Germany to sign. The only thing that makes sense to me at this stage.

The deadline is tommorow right?

Right? Not sure how this needs explained any more.

I think he looks slower when we are used to seeing Gordon.

He's odd player in many respects. He doesn't have much skill in the traditional sense but he's such a mature user of the ball. There's no faff. He's also a good decision maker. Passes at the right time, shoots at the right time, holds onto the ball when he needs to. Loved that little dinked cross to the back post, from the right touchline . I see no reason why he wouldn't be better than Murphy or Almiron there. Yesterday he looked way fitter. He burst past their left back, which I've never really seen him do. There's also a connection between him and Tino that looked like it had legs. Really want him to do well. Especially after all the needless shite I've seen about him.

I think Howe will go: Pope Tino Krafth Burn Kelly Longstaff Bruno Joelinton Murphy Isak Gordon Just imagine the noise when Sandro gets subbed on.

His first time passing should give him loads of assists for Isak.

Last minute deals doesn't feel very us. That's why I'm fairly convinced we won't be signing anyone. Perhaps someone like Trafford if we lose a keeper. And yes I will be disappointed but I have to trust that those in charge of the club have their reasons for not spending. I will get behind Eddie and the lads regardless. Happy clappers of the world unite.

I don't know if it's newcastle specific but during the Pardew era it was revealed that for recruitment purposes they colour coded the players based on their value to the team. So Cisse, Cabaye etc were Purples. Seemed vaguely ridiculous at the time, even more so now. Alot of people use the term purple as tongue in cheek for a good player.

Good draw. We can make a few changes.

Think Sandro might have fallen in love tonight.

That's the sort of role Sean should have. Cameos where he can bring us some energy.

Wad so desperate for us to stick it to the commentary.

Not once did forest play football like we did in the last 20 minutes. They huffed and puffed. Our class showed.

Thought the last 20 minutes were much better. Pens will be nice lift. Bruno captain fantastic.

Better side. Deserved it.

Fucking Longy

It's nice to know we can play footy. Fuck me do the comms want Forest to win mind.

Our fans didn't just boo that sub right?

Tino and Gordon on.

Trippier should be nowhere near set pieces.

Once again, a second half reminder that we actually have a bench available to us this year.

There was a moment where Krafth passed him the ball and he got the ball returned to him so quickly by Tonali that I don't think Krafth knew what had happened. Like some sort of slight of hand shit. Krafth must have been thinking "I swore I passed this".

He's the only player I've seen upstage Bruno on the ball, in midfield. Absolutely outrageously intelligent footballer. It's also chalk and cheese compared to the player who left the side prior to his ban. I knew he would be good but I was waiting for that moment. This 45 minutes has me all in. He's a class act.
