Is the donkey of Jesmond not back for this one?

I will never bet on us to win a game if Butt is confirmed in the starting Xl.

Shouldn't be to much of a problem if Guthrie can keep his form up, and Jonas and Routledge start.. Don't be daft, man. We're as good as down to ten men if that happens.

Loven.

They're 15th. I'd be unhappy with anything less than a win.

Loves that white shirt.

Owt to have a go at the lad.

He didn't get the ball as much as he should have tonight, Routledge. Nolan needs to start looking for him instead of trying to play the through balls and that topspin punt over the top he seems fond of. He's brilliant though, Routledge, in this league at least.

excuses. Come on, man, we genuinely look like 2 completely different teams at home and on the road. Christ knows what rubbish they're being told.

Praise where it's due, he's looked a good prospect in the last 2 months. But i'm not going to go mad, there are plenty of players who've hit 25 goals in this league and haven't made any impact whatsoever in the big league.

He was probably told to play it safe with the passing against Boro. His game is about getting the ball and driving us forward.

We need to start imposing our own game on the road and forget about nullifying the threat. Be nice if we started on saturday, we should murder this lot.

Fantastic again. We're a completly different team with him in the middle.

Mind you, there's been a massive improvement in the other starting strikers since we signed him.

Looks worse than shite, baffling signing.

How on earth did that shower of shite beat us in October?

He looked a player tonight.

Carroll and Simpson?

Again, where's the mouthful to Chris Hughton? It's media-driven nonsense. Give me 11 players who'd be unhappy and even angry not to play, we'd all be laughing.

Fair play for the effort but where on earth does it say with any element of certainty that he gave "another mouthful to Houghton"?

Seeing Hull go down wont be quite as fun now.

I would agree about the stamina up until this season which when he ran he looked like Nolan, he was slow and awful and puffing before the end, this before his injury and after a pre season where he gave another mouthful to Houghton cause he didn't start him the first game of the season.

I compared him with Guthrie, Smith, Butt and Nolan, man, Guthrie imho is probably the most talented there, but you could certainly argue that it's Barton.

Jonas is a winger.
