Move on to the Newcastle game now guys. Another team who are all over but always seem to up their game against us! We must have pace up front particularly against yedlin and dummet we can get something with rash and martial. There danger comes from shelvey if given time and Rondon who is a big lad and could bully our cb . Sincerely hoping we can get 3 points, especially as I'm surrounded by bloody geordies!

I don’t think teams necessarily up their game against us anymore. Simply a case that our strategy of sitting deep when not in possession allows the opposition to play football. When you give a team time and space of the ball, they’re bound to look better than usual.

Totally agree Danny.

And when you attack with minimal numbers in predictable ways, it's obvious for intelligent managers to combat it. I imagine very few of us would put money on us beating Newcastle speak volumes for me.

pointless having pace on the pitch if we play so negative.

we have pace all over but never play the type of football to take advantage of it.

Danny - if the geordies round here are to be believed it is the pinnacle to their season- still stuck in 1996 -'I'd luv it if we beat them, luv it"
Must admit I have an alter reason to be optimistic - I have managed to get tickets to take my 10 year old to his first home game.
