Newcastle United v West Bromwich Albion - 12/12/2020 - 3pm - Live on Sky Sports

[HaydnNUFC]

That Pereira for them is out so yet another stroke of luck for Bruce. Home win.

[Klaus]

Are the squad back training etc yet?

[Alberto2005]

Ever been a Saturday 3pm KO on Sky before?

[Robster]

2-0

[tgarve]

Yes

[GWN]

Will be called off

[Raconteur]

Will be called off

 

Seemed ambitious to start a thread so early given the circumstances...

[samptime29]

I assume we'll get an update today or tomorrow, on the current Covid situation.

 

If it goes ahead, a win would be really big. If we can get onto 17 points from 11 games, puts us in a solid position before the Leeds and then Fulham games.

[Rod]

Played off the park and somehow leave the pitch with a 2-1 win.  It will be hailed as a tactical masterclass from Sutton and Savage.

[loki679]

Not content with ruining football for us, Stevie Bacon takes his sausage themed covid show on the road in an effort to ruin it for everyone else too.

 

1-1, NUFC 7% possession, 9 first team infections.

[54]

Sounds like it's going to be called off, as the players still haven't trained.

[GWN]

Training centre still closed.

 

100% this game won’t happen.

 

NUFC , useless

When you think in Scotland that Motherwell were handed two 3-0 wins because their opponents weren’t able to fulfil fixtures due to Covid, we’re very lucky.

Not really comparable, Motherwell's opponents had deliberately breached self-isolation guidelines.

Sounds like something we are perfectly capable of doing too

To be honest, I hope West Brom get awarded a win. We don't fucking deserve another postponement. Would rather us forfeit than watch 90 minutes of Bruceball and lose and baconhead blames it on a pandemic.

[samptime29]

Ryder saying we are hopeful of returning to training ground tomorrow, so might be on tbf.

I don't really understand what the club have done wrong here. I'd rather not take a loss to our relegation rivals, despite me hating our owners, a third of our players, half of our fan base and all of our manager.

To be honest, I hope West Brom get awarded a win. We don't f***ing deserve another postponement. Would rather us forfeit than watch 90 minutes of Bruceball and lose and baconhead blames it on a pandemic.

It's because if the game went ahead, we would lose anyways with hardly any training. The club has not been managed in the correct way from any angles you see it. We are a nobody to be asking for another postponement.

It's because if the game went ahead, we'd have to watch it.

Do you really think Steve Bruce's training sessions have any bearing on our performance?

We don't know what's happened with this Covid issue tbf. We might have been sloppy, might have just been unlucky with it. We don't know.

[Dr Jinx]

If this is postponed we could very well have a full (or close to full) strength squad by the next game. Only Dummett and Carroll out for longer.

 

Dubravka and Gayle will make a difference.

[toon25]

We’ll make them look like a capable football team, whatever the result

[TRon]

Keep thinking we must be due a game against someone who won't make us look inept, then realise it doesn't matter who we play, we just can't play football. Can't even blame Paul Dummett.
