Yeah this is my issue as well. We average 2 goals a game across the season so this drop has been concerning. we get one then go all nervous, it's end of season pressure they are bringing on themselves, we are a big club and i feel the players know we all want this and go into survival mode, its just human instinct at times. Lose top goalscorer and main threat at the same time as losing best defender. Recipe for nerves right there. Hayden returning is my only hope as we shouldn't see much of Colback, hopefully ever again. Reckon he will start tonight sadly, 2 games in 3 days maybe too much for Hayden sadly. Well if he does then you have to start seriously questioning the managers decision making enough is enough. Jesus titty Christ. So you think playing Colback is a smart move do you - I don't think he will but if he does that certainly does deserve to be questioned. Where has Hayden been for the last two months?

I'm not surprised, we're only 8 points ahead of third and have a goal difference which Huddersfield are never going to catch. Absolutely, and I've been completely relaxed throughout the whole season. But, I still am.

My arse is starting to twitch.

Well of course, he'd be pretty mental not too.

That's fantastic

I see.

What happened to Milan? How.did they go from that to where they are now?

Exactly. How many points of 3rd were we clear last time after this many games out of curiosity? Apples, I'd like to introduce you to oranges Possibly the worst ever use of this phrase. You think the 2 scenarios are directly comparable Ian, really? The point I was making was that everyone talks about us pissing it back then so I was curious to see what the difference is points was.

Our home form is hardly atrocious like 5th best in the division, 3 points away from being 3rd best. Absolutely atrocious.

Oh dear.

love rafa, but think KK may have gotten a little more out of this team in terms of entertainment (possibly at the expense of a few points). This isn't directed at you but I think we need to get away from comparing things to KK. Great memories but it was a loooong time ago.

Are we supposed to just believe that he was seriously telling a female reporter that he'd slap them if they asked tough questions again like? He did? He was unhappy with the questions and said she was getting ' a wee bit (cheeky?)... Clearly was unhappy with her.

We've only really got three key players and they've all played pretty much every game they've been fit.

4-0

Really? Apart from a wild shot he blazed high and wide I thought Colback played quite well today. He also missed an interception that led to their goal and gave away another brainless freekick which Burn nearly scored from right after they scored How anyone can watch that game of.football and think colback played.well is completely beyond me. He consistently misplaced passes, gave away fouls, headed balls into.no man's.land. and yes, there was THAT shot.

Exactly and he wasn't building for the Premiership, he was building to get us out of the league that we're in and he looks like achieving that. Don't have the the exact number but sure it was around 25 that left. 50 million to rebuild that and be certainties to go up if nothing to be scoffed at. Yet 7 of the 11 started today were here last season. Tells me the core of the squad that got us down are going to get is up. Yes, go on.....

Guessing different people have different viewpoints on the expectations of manager with their resources etc. For example, I've met 2 Liverpool fans today who don't rate him that highly despite what happened in Istanbul. Yet I speak with Liverpool fans are a regular basis who absolutely adore him.

He still had over £50m to spend though, I think wasn't like he had to scrap around for bargains though. Sick of hearing this shite. We lost something like 20 players since he came in, he wasnt building a team he building an entire squad.

Looking forward to this. Beers, burger and the match. Hopefully a good win.

Me. p*ssed. On train back from Birmingham. How was the game? Awful. We never looked like scoring really other than the mad scramble which ended up being disallowed. Lots of balls wide to Ritchie and Gouffran but nothing came of it. Diame was shot in the middle for those going on about wanting him in there though he was alongside Colback. Never felt like we were in danger of getting beat either. This team without Shelvey and Gayle fully fit and Yedlin just isn't very good. Still think we'll be fine though and stimble our way to promotion. Aye, I think Hayden will make a difference as well.

I was pretty negative and still had us finishing top on 95 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ten-games-go-newcastle-it-12711994
