TCD wants to know if he's any good at GenesisPressing.... I'll get my coat

The fact we're replacing a player that has looked jaded for a while with a player that wants to be here and is adding as Segun said above, athleticism and pace which we have long missed, I can't see this as anything but an upgrade. Sure he may not be at the same skill level as Janmaat but what's a skill level worth with no application? He'll boss this level and we can upgrade as and when we need to.

aye just like all them cup ties he won with us? He won a few league cup ties, it was the fa cup he was awful at. That and the fact the FA Cup basically kept him in a job last season.

Customary cup win to paper over his league deficiencies tonight, that should buy him more time to keep them tumbling down.

Sounds like the Shelvey I've watched in a Newcastle shirt since his arrival. Loads of talent when he's given time and space, in between invisible. I find both Colback and Shelvey highly frustrating. Shelvey goes missing when the tough gets going. Colback doesn't hide but doesn't stick his neck out with anything innovative or creative. Put them both together and you'd probably have a decent all-rounder. Unfortunately, they're two halves, and two halves that wouldn't make my first 11 in an ideal world. Colback likes to hide behind opposition players when the pressure is on so he can't be passed to, no real loss to the team other than playing with 10 men like we do whenever he's on the pitch. Of all the players I want to see leave he's the top of my list.

Mini De Jong

Not really fussed he's going, he's had some good partnerships down that right hand side at times and we've relied heavily on him in the past but he's just so positionally suspect and too error prone. £7.5m for a player that looks like he wasn't going to feature much is good business. Can we now start getting into a deficit on transfers please, the money is there, finish the fucking puzzle!

Tonight just cements the truth, Colback is shite at any level, how he has a professional footballing contract will be a mystery to the grave. Sooner he's gone the sooner we'll start to look more threatening.

I know you meant expansive but made me chuckle, we improve and the ticket prices go up Damn autobahn

Probably just precautionary, no point in playing on with knocks if we're winning at a canter. Hopefully just need a day or two to recover.

3 wins on the trot, doesn't matter how they're won the confidence will help us be more expensive as time goes on, I'll take that all day.

Tbf I think it is imperative to win this one, it might not be a must win in the grand scheme of things but another win can only breed more confidence and we need as much as we can get right now.

Only if we can get Alardici in as manager

Mad buggar.

Yeah I can see him resting Gayle and putting Perez up top with Mitrovic.

Calm doon. 50 between them ffs. Anno right? 50 each at least ffs

hopefully the sucker punch will come while they're pushing for it.

And we're mocked for "hounding out" our managers? Oh yeah and then they spent the first two weeks of the season laughing at us for standing by Rafa. Bewwwwwwww

Fookin tterrible defending for that!

HAHA HAHAHAHA HAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAA!!!

Let the Paedoff commence!

Very true, like every new player to English football he needs time to settle. I don't like the flapping two hands instead of punching mind. He seems to flap at crosses that he should be catching too, I know he needs to settle in but early signs are a bit worrying. Hopefully he'll grow in confidence if Rafa is going to stick with him.

Fantastic goal, deserving of the win itself, but Sels man, how's he keeping his place in the team?

Hope we've got it in us to score 2, can just see Colback giving away a needless free kick on the stroke of half time that leads to one of their big oafs scoring from the set Penis.
