Newcastle United 1-2 sunderland - 22/03/26

[BGRM]

Wouldn't mind another couple of goals so I can relax. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

Brobbey's done us a favour as he's played off Burn rather than Botman the last fifteen or so .

All that fucking time wasting where did that go?

Saving it for 2nd half added time.

[Aiston]

Pretty comfortable half.

[Robbo2]

I don't massively rate him as a keeper, but our ability to build moves with Ramsdale over Pope is night and day

[Beren]

Only quibble that half is that the match isn't sewn up. Great effort after midweek in particular. Hall, Elanga, Wolte and Gordon have been bright. Ramsey doing great work in midfield too.

[r0cafella]

We better keep at it and play with the intensity in the second half, this is close and could still go either way. 

[Optimistic Nut]

Very good half. We can't just attack and press for 90 minutes but we've been at them and could have had 3.

[andycap]

Well on top of these cloggers deserved to be two up at halftime. 

[toontownman]

Well that half FLEW by. 

 

We need to get back into them up front. We should have put them to bed. They are all over the place. We just havent offered enough. 

 

Still good half.

[Big Geordie]

Typical derby so far - not a lot of quality. That said, we've got the goal - we need a 2nd though. Brobbey proving a handful for Botman and that's a bit of a worry.

 

 

[mouldy_uk]

Still nervous at 1 up

 

[Moose]

Happy enough with that, as we all know, they're a shit footballing side but Brobbey seems to be a bit of a handful for Botman, we're far from home and hosed

Should always be nervous at 1 up tbf.

[Mr Misery]

These aren't as shit as I'd hoped. We need another please.

[Optimistic Nut]

They'll have a 10-15 minute spell where we'll live a bit dangerously but I can see us scoring at least one more..

[Vaj]

Not the prettiest but deserved lead. Thank fuck for O’Nien because I think we would really struggle to break these down without that. Need a second goal, if not they will have a big spell of pressure. Confident we can get it!

[El Prontonise]

Thought we were poor in all honesty after the first 15 mins in which were excellent. We deserve a goal lead but letting them too much of the ball in our third.

[Holloway]

Bit worried about some of their attacks, a better final ball could have seen us in trouble 

[timeEd32]

Any of Bruno / Tonali / Miley would be a big help in the midfield. Annoying.

Try listening to this on the radio lol.  Nearly shitting myself every 30 secs. 

[maybe_next_year]

Whisper it quietly, but Nick has been the best of our three midfielders so far. 

[nufc4eva]

Should be 2 or 3 up but need to concentrate and think it through more. Been sloppy in wrong areas at times 

[Bimpy474]

We're getting dragged down to their level at times, we just need to be more composed and keep the ball better. And our set pieces are atrocious, try a flick on, or something different.  This everyone at the back coming forward is dogshite, and then we leave no one at the back where the ball has gone a couple of times, it's fucking over thought bollocks.

[alexf]

Lads look abit tired. Think they are trying to manage their energy so don't think they can go too gung ho non stop. 

 

However it's abit nervy every time we gift them some corners and throw ins. 

 

Need to play those little give and goes to unlock Elanga, Gordon and Barnes more. Learn from Barca how they did it and open up the space. Need a couple more to be comfortable.
