Nothing against Shadow Puppets at all but this made me proper belly laugh.

Just getting the big players back as a squad is fantastic for moral.

Not to mention Geordie players.

[andycap]

Well it was nice seeing tino 😂 burn the mainstay to return. 

[Paullow]

Good news if he is back, but it does seem very early - just over 5 weeks. Obviously injuries can vary in severity, plus the sport could be taken into account, but my favourite tennis player suffered a 'lower back stress fracture' in mid May, missed the French Open, came back at Wimbledon in early July, so like 7 weeks, retired during a match and hasn't played since, so just hope he isn't coming back too soon, but you'd hope the medical staff would know what they are doing.

Only way he gets back in the team for me is if we rest Tripps and Tino goes RB, but there's also an argument for him stepping in for Lascelles who's had a bit of a wobble recently.

He'll have every chance of starting on Sat if he's fit.

Aye if everyone is fit enough, this will be the approach. 

 

A bit of a shame for Hall.

[SteV]

Doing comms on 5live tomorrow apparently.

From the bench?

Glad he’s back.

Looked a little rusty. Was nice to have the left footed passing angles though.  

[huss9]

why bring him on instead of a fit Hall?

[GideonShandy]

A one-size fit Hall?

[wormy]

Another goal and overall pleasing return to the starting XI for the big man, even if he ended up with relatively little to do at the defensive end. Welcome back.

[OCK]

Better drop this clown, can't believe he had the nerve to score.

[Kanji]

His leadership is so massive for us. Same with Sean. 

[Newcastle Fan]

Great return for the big man tonight!

[Conjo]

Got this from my father when Burn scored. Translating to "that's my boy"

 

Can't remember last time he said that to me. He proper loves Dan Burn

As good as Livra has been I can’t help but feel Howe will go with Burn/Trippier at fullback whenever both are fit and available. 

[jack j]

Robbed Bruno of a world class assist missing that sitter mind

Hard to say as Howe makes that call but I gotta think he'll get plenty of minutes going forward. Thought he was quite good today. I do see what you are saying.
