The Prophet Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 6 minutes ago, BennyBlanco said: I’d argue that Isak isn’t a natural goalscorer. His stats don’t say that anyway. 1 in 4 at best. Can’t wait for Wilson to get back. 67 goals and 15 assists in 174 games, aged 23, sounds pretty natural to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait for Wilson to get back. Maybe not, perhaps those fantastic finishes against Liverpool are still lodged in my mind. He looked decent today I thought. His header was weak though, should have gave us the lead with that, but will wait and see what he produces once he's up and running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 2 minutes ago, Super Duper Branko Strupar said: Worst thing about going out early in the FA Cup is the number of weekends where there's no Newcastle game to watch. At least the League Cup is mostly wid-week. Only 4th round weekend (28th Jan) will be blank as the 5th round is midweek. 6th round weekend we'll be away at Forest.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 14 minutes ago, TheBrownBottle said: He hasn’t been in his career to date. He’s a very talented player, but you wouldn’t be relying on him scoring loads of goals. Isak scored more league goals in a major division campaign than Wilson ever has just a couple of years ago. Iirc, his first 2 seasons at Sociedad he was averaging a goal or assist every 150 minutes or something (he was often a sub in his first season there, from memory). Was obviously poor last season.

Wullie Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Sounds like there was some terrible crowd problems tonight caused by the Leppings Lane tunnel. Not like they've had 30 odd years to do anything about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 3 hours ago, Stifler said: Not sure it was to be honest. We had 3-4 1st team starters today. Ok the team we put out should have still been able to win and would have done if we had VAR or decent officials, however those who got their chance fucking wasted it. Just to compare - look at Leicesters team away to Gillingham. Only Tielemans & Ayoze from their 1st team started that match. Howes line-up was perfectly fine. Their performance however was not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Isak will be brilliant when he's up to speed. I have no doubt about that! Murphy, Lewis, Wood, Manquillo and Lascelles needs to be replaced. Ritchie aswell even if he can still put a decent ball into the box. Murphy seems afraid of the ball and any opponent around him. Has no awerness of what's happening around him. Lewis just isn't good enough for this level. Wood just can't hit the target! That's the basic for a striker. Lascelles and Manquillo isn't awfull but doesn't add much on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Still think we should have started a strong team to give us a chance of building a lead then changing out. Eddie and co called this one wrong this time for me Shows everyone we still have a mountain to climb with building a squad. 8 changes made us look like a championship team.

Interpolic Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 My (other) brother was there, said it was an absolute joke getting in. Lots of bottlenecks on the way in and they had to rip off netting that covered 3 rows or else they couldn't work out how everyone was going to fit in.
