Ignoring the striker issue for a moment, we had more than 60% of the ball and only managed 5 shots on target and 10 shots in total.

 

A striker would be great, but there's a real fundamental issue of creating chances with what ever possession we have.

 

Quite frankly it's even more apparent than the lack of proven goalscorer is. This against a league 1 side no less, it's not really about where is the goals going to come from? But more about where is the chances going to come from?

 

The comparisons to last season are plentiful, very similar start but then HBA bailed him out against Fulham. Also in last season's home game against Palace HBA came off the bench and again bailed him out providing the assist for Cisse's goal.

 

The point I'm making is the way we are playing now we get the ball wide a lot. Cabella is being doubled up on already because there is no point in marking Dummett, and if Gouffran's over that side then again, you may aswell just let him cut inside and hit it off you as that is what always happens. Alternatively, Janmaat gets forward and either crosses to one person or cuts inside and shoots due to lack of alternatives. HBA would really be the ideal man to be playing wide right in this formation, we've had plenty of the ball and could do with his magic in lieu of a goalscoring striker. Unfortunately, we're managed by a fuckwit, so I'm looking forward to Saturday's 0-0.

 

The team is desperate for HBA. Sadly we're going to get more Gouff and Obertan...

 

What's sad is that we all know what the best team is, but our manager refuses to play the one person that would make that squad happen.

Stacks of whingers here. We are in the hat for the next round that's all that matters.

 

Its actually not all that matters. NUFC being an absolute bag of shit from top to bottom is what matters, LIKE.

“I like the FA Cup and the Carling Cup – neither of them were won by one of the big four last season. So why can’t Newcastle win it? We’ve won nothing for ages either. We’re in there again and if we play like that and have a lot more luck, then why not?"

 

Keegan, hours before they forced him out of the club forever.

Just seen the highlights.  Christ we were lucky not to concede,  fair few stupid mistakes which will easily be punished more often than not in the pl. 

 

Did we have any shots on target? Not counting those by Gillingham players.

5 according to the stats.  Which against a team like Gillingham isn't a huge amount.
