Newcastle United 0-1 Blackburn Rovers - 26/11/2016 - post-match from page 11

This is dire.

[U2]

Relax folks.  Still 45 to play and we have a very strong bench.

[High Five o]

Unlike before, i am confident something can be done during the break by Rafa.

[sempuki]

Last chance before the break maybe.

[Ikon]

Rafa HT talk will see us come out with our guns blazing.

[Big Geordie]

Remember fellas, we are gonna get games like this. Patience is the key.

[sempuki]

Lots to improve on for the second half.

[Yorkie]

Not hurting them but we're in control by the sounds of things.

[U2]

Yeah, wouldn't be the end of the world if we didn't get a result today.  Hull is the big game this week.

[Guest neesy111]

Shite

[KaKa]

Quite a few that haven't started a lot in the team, so just taking a while to get going I imagine. All good in the long run.

[High Five o]

3 pages match tread at HT, new record low or something 

[SUPERTOON]

Expect early changes, hopefully Gayle for Perez although more likely to be Mitrovic.

[KaKa]

 

Can already see the transition into moaning when things are a bit slow in coming together. Never forget where we came from please.

[jdckelly]

well that sounded dull as anything but still another half to go and plenty of room for improvement

[Twinport53]

s****

 

Your endlessly negative patter is shite.

[Scoot]

Could see how this was going to play out after the first 10 mins.  Rafa needs to give them a kick up the arse or change it.

[James]

Based on the team selection we might draw this with focus going on Hull (and that includes being prepared for the possibility of extra time)

 

But we would have to beat Hull. No excuses.

[Conjo]

It´s fucking ridiculous that they cannot send championship matches on some sort of TV.

Ay, it annoys me to no end, fucking sitting here listening to a crappy radio stream hoping to find a periscope who is recorded with a Nokia 3110.

Its 2016.

With the way the season is playing out so far I don't think we need to be looking to draw home games at any time tbh. And probably not any away games either.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Rafa's obvious trust in Perez is the only thing keeping me from flat out calling him shite tbh. Obviously he's not, but I've had enough of him pondering on the ball match after match.

 

Huge disclaimer, I'm only listening to the match so it'll be interesting to hear what those who are at the match think.

[Ronaldo]

Barry Hindson's lovely old voice, man.

[Yorkie]

Was just thinking that, never heard him before cos I normally mute half-time but yeah, what elocution. Get him into SJP.

You just have to look at the Hull thread or Trophy or Promotion thread and see that a lot want us to beat Hull on Tuesday. It will be our biggest game this season to date and also carries the risk of extra time

 

So I think on the basis of public opinion, playing a 25% full strength team today and getting a draw is acceptable - so long as our full strength team does the job at Hull.

 

And on current results we may be getting even further away from Brighton anyhow.
