Heron Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Chuffed with the win - Ranger's looking better by the game. Barton did pretty much fuck all but run around as did Lovenkrandz. Guthrie and Nolan worked hard in the middle and cut off a number of their plays, but began to look a little fatigued at around 60minutes - kept on going 'til the end though. Smith was brilliant again but probably deserved the sending off. Ryan Taylor worked hard and put some good balls into the box. Simpson looks like he is loving first team football, and loving playing for us. Coloccini had one of his best games I've seen him play in a toon top and Taylor made some good blocks and 'put-offs'. Harper came out to collect the majority of things but had fairly little to do. Finally, Jose Enrique bossed the left flank, and showed his class. All in all, a good solid team performance, and an even better three-points. They're doing their best and doing us proud...that's all we wanted last year - a bit of unity and fight. It's nice to see. Credit to our 2,000 down there today too, made plenty noise which was great to hear once our lads on the pitch silenced their crowd. "You're not famous anymore!" Okay then chaps, that's why your first sell out crowd was against us and that's why we're constantly being televised. Cardiff City? Aye, because your the Manchester United of the past aren't you....

Shearergol Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I love how Chopra becomes shit every time Newcastle's on the pitch. When he played for us it was the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I love how Chopra becomes s*** every time Newcastle's on the pitch. When he played for us it was the same. And probably the same in the Championship, but he won't come up against the likes of Taylor & Coloccini every week so will get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Good result of course, but still a bit frustrating, because we wasted a lot of possession. Nolan seemed to have taken over Butt's role of hanging on to the ball too long and then playing a team mate into trouble. Guthrie couldn't find a role. It seems a bit of a waste to have Barton wide left. He did okay, but he's our best passer and I'd like to see him more central asap. On the bright side, I thought Ranger did very well considering he was having to make everything happen on his own. I just hope we get promoted this season, because otherwise we'll probably lose him. For our best passer, Barton hardly found a team-mate all bloody match. A few went astray, but he's still our best passer. Sometimes the execution was poor, but sometimes I felt the receiver failed to anticipate. They were flat-footed instead of running into space.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Should we continue our form into January and get new owners, I predict some very exciting signings in January.

Yorkie Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Even though he scored today I am not worried about Colo going. Aye... i can't see him going like. We'll demand a fairly hefty fee and his wages are probably daft. Same reasons why he didn't go in the summer, really. I don't like him but it would be pretty bad if he did... we're perilously short at centre-back. Desperately hope we get another centre-back in during this little loan period.

midds Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 If we're top and clear and playing well then I'd like to think that everyone would want to be part of it and stay on til May. Can't say for certain Jonas and Coloccini would stay, particularly if Maradona stops picking them for Argentina, but that's a chance we have to take. Pleased with how it's going so far but we can't get complacent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
