Newcastle Utd. v Notts Forest 30/12/16 at 7.45pm (not on TV)


Recommended Posts

Score early we will be fine, concede first we will probably lose.

 

As for the team, ideally Diame, Ritchie, Perez,  Dummett and Colback would all not start, however we have limited options so no idea how to set up considering we will not go with two up top.

Two up top or it's a loss.

 

So another loss then.

 

Nah, we have more than enough to beat them without 2 up top.  He does need to bring in some fresh faces into the starting 11 though.

If we lose this game - or even draw it - we can start having to worry about the Play-offs...

Give over man, half the season to go yet.  We've won the most games and scored the most goals.  Things aren't perfect but we are at the top for a reason,  we have the right manager and our squad are a good bunch

That's what I was thinking. Then remembering only a few weeks ago people raving (myself included) about the squad and the depth we had.  Only Shelvey is out ffs and all seems lost

I think we'll be fine. I just never trust us over the Christmas/New Year period.

 

Just had a look, going back 10 years (including yesterday) - not that it means anything for in a couple of days, just curiosity

Lost 7

Read - my - lips....we have lost FOUR home games and the season is only half over...good sides would not lose more than 4 games at home over the whole season, let alone half of it. Our goal diff advantage was because of one freak result at QPR - how many goals did we concede at SJP whilst losing to the 4 sides who beat us...? also, if Darlow hadn't been in such excellent form yesterday, we could have conceded FOUR without reply.

We are top UNLESS Brighton win tonight and then we won't be...fail to beat Forest and they will stay there too - that is also for a reason(maybe they have better players in crucial positions...?).

Our players may be a 'good bunch' as far as you are concerned, but they are only a 'good bunch' if they get the club back into the PL - where it should be - next season. Too many of the good bunch are not good enough on the field and won't be at the club much longer. We DO have an excellent manager but he is not a miracle worker and can only work with the material at his disposal.
