Newcastle United 4-3 Notts Forest - 23/02

[Billy Warthog]

Such a shite start and then... who knows how?! We're 4-1 up and that's amazing. Great stuff lads. 👍

[LiquidAK]

Great half. Even at 1-0 down we were on top, really pleased we've made our dominance count 

[Miggys First Goal]

Canny first half. 

[ponsaelius]

If we ever did want to give up on Willock, I'm convinced Forest would sign him. Always plays well against them.

[Pixelphish]

I needed a first half like that after a dogshit week.

 

Infact, I deserved it.

Miley and Willock have really stepped up today.

 

Both outstanding after a rocky opening. Miley's composure was exactly what we needed.

[OoOGazOoO]

Such a strange first half haha

[David Edgar]

Spent weeks arguing Forest are in a false position. Outscoring their XG, Wood's silly conversion rate. Just pure luck. Well, it has run out. 

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Hall, Willock and Isak just driving us straight at them. They dont like running backwards.

[Yorkie]

Brilliant that. I'll be on edge until we get a fifth though because we look desperate to give them another. 

[samptime29]

Miley and Willock have been excellent.

Tell you what’s a great mix. Andy Hinchcliffe’s car doors and a freshly sharpened set of keys.

Blokes spent all half runnung everything down! This was lucky that was lucky!

Same. Don't know how they keep winning.

[Aiston]

Cracking half after that awful goal to concede. 

 

 

[Astroblack]

What a half. Never so happy to lose $20 in my life.

Great response after their goal. The ball really is bouncing our way today. 

[Charlies]

I keep watching that penalty

[Vaj]

I have been beating this drum for a while but depending on opposition (I.e. do we need a Joelinton battering ram in midfield) the best midfield trio is Miley, Tonali and Bruno. Miley has been fantastic!

 

Also credit to Willock, will do him the world of good

Anyone else have flashbacks then when Elanga was running at Burn

 

Fortunately we have Lewis Hall now, used to dread Burn at LB, he was useful there, but it's not natural, and against speedy players he's no chance.

[KaKa]

Miley's assuredness on the ball and awareness of what is going on around him is an absolute joke at his age.

 

Stupendous talent.

[SteveM]

What a half, minus Murphy’s error of course. So much energy, so much pressure of retrieving the ball.

 

first to every ball, a great performance.

 

Hall has stood out for me, an absolute rock solid performance along with many others

[arnonel]

Fun reading the comments after we conceded

 

[Holloway]

great reaction to last week's humping. Lots of positives

[Mattoon]

Feels like this probably finishes 4-1 or 5-2 now, I get it, big game Wednesday so no point in flogging the players for more but it's always such an anticlimax when you demolish a team in 10 minutes and then nothing else happens

[54]

Well that was a quality half of football, can tell they had a rocket up their ass after last week. Even before they scored, we looked miles better than them, the midfield balance has been really good, Willock and Miley have been our best players, with Hall a close third. More of the same second half please.
