[On the Grid]

Longy is underrated in terms of what he brings to a game and the way Eddie likes to play

Sandro got the BBC player of the match which is good to see. Hopefully he builds on this, excited for what a fully up to speed Tonali can do 

 

Good to read some positivity

[Big Geordie]

 Made hard work of it tonight, but got through in the end.

 

Thought BDB and Krafth at centre back did really well. Good to see Tonali back and get a good run out. He looked really emotional at the end.

Just me who thinks that every long throw Moreno did was a foul throw? 

Didn't notice, but the ref would let them take throw ins 10 yards inside our half when they went out 10 in theirs and then near the end pulled Gordon back when he took it 2 yards forward.

[Wolfcastle]

Least were one of those cunty sides that win shoot-outs now. Always had us down as the sort that was bound, and almost always did, lose them.

There has been a bit of a trend these last few games:

 

First 20 = good
Middle 30 = bad
Last 20 = good

 

Don't know if its by designed and we're trying to manage games, and it's just haven't got that skill yet but it's noticeable.

 

This only adds up to 70 minutes.

Ahhhh, the relief. Watching the game with my wife and in-laws all of who are Forest fans 😂

should have got in the middle of the room and helicoptered them when Longy scored.

I can't believe how competent a Newcastle United team can be at penalties, btw.  3/4 won under Eddie, isn't it? Even the one we missed, I'd put it down moreso to being a very good save than a bad pen. Bruno's and Gordon's in particular were excellent. We were very composed against Blackburn too iirc.

Last quarter of the game was so reassuring. 

 

Tino and Gordon. Barnes was good. Willock and Tonali. 

 

Get a purple in this window and take a top four finish.

This is my thinking.  I really think Eddie has changed his tactics.  You can't press a team for 90+ minutes.  The final 15 minutes we totally bombarded them.  You could see that the Nottingham Forest players were done in.  Now for this tactic to work we need to keep the ball a lot better.  I thought Tonali was great tonight.  With him, Bruno and the spoiler/enforcer that is Joelinton we can control the midfield.  I know we only won on penalties tonight but I could see what we are going to be.  And that is a controlling midfield with pacey forwards.  A bit of pace at the back would be good.  Also a special mention to Tino who I thought was excellent when he came on.

tonight showed how much we have missed Willock - our intensity dropped instantly the moment he went off

"that is absolutely shocking." what a dick  

[duo]

Was surprised Vlachodimos didn't even manage to make it onto the bench 

[McDog]

Just watched the game, missed it due to family issues and work. Helluva game, Mags looked good for stretches. Not great moving the ball on others.

 

Good on Longstaff to bury the penalty. Onwards and upwards.

Or that Tonali buried the chance he had right after that.

 

 

Was a nice save. I thought in hindsight he should have chipped it maybe but it was split second and it was close to beating the keepers legs.

 

 

After spilling it, their keeper Carlos Miguel was excellent in my opinion tbf.

Why does Mark Chapman not get the presenting job for the PL games? So much better than Kelly Dalgliesh and that mackem.

Contracted to the BBC for PL stuff isn't he? 

[madras]

Didn't see the 2nd half. When Gordon came on did he play right or left ?

Started on the right, switched to the left later with Barnes going right

[Andy84]

I thought we were poor in the main against a Forest side who were massively changed. We showed some good spells though, all about getting through 

[GeordieToon]

Mission completed Agent Awoniyi, 

[The Butcher]

Decent draw.

 

Reckon we'll beat them 6-2, 6-4, 6-1.

yup.

we made 6 changes ourselves

also not a single specialist CB playing.

midfielder playing his first gane in nearly a year.

did just enough.

shooting needs to improve, mind. 3 or 4 straight at the keeper or just wide.
