That was Newcastle’s first win in 5 games.
They get their biggest win of the season against us.
When Huddersfield drew at Cardiff last week, they had lost their previous 9 games.
It’s worrying because we have so far not even got a point of the top clubs.
Let’s not blame injuries as we have a 25man squad and every club have injuries, so did Huddersfield and Newcastle
The fight runs out in the end if you don’t have enough quality and that’s what really counts at the end of the day in the Premier League.

Agree.
Time to change tactics. Two up front. If we can’t pass the ball to them we can stick to route 1. At least there’s 2 up there who could score.

It's tempting to agree with the suggestion of two up front especially with the two new lads signing.
My worry with that however would be our midfield, which is a real weakness at the moment, would be totally overrun leading to even more pressure on our beleaguered defence.
At the moment it seems that the attacking capabilities of our wingers may be being diluted because of the amount of tracking back and defending they have to do. Yesterday for example Hoilett spent more time defending than he did attacking and it'snot the first time that has happened this season.

i stick by what i say not so much the players but the tactics and motivation neil would not have allowed the players to be like this last season he would be having a giddy fit on the sidelines prehaps the doc has told him to calm down and he has lost his mojo to fire the players up, because its not happening .perhaps he has been distracted with the tranfer dealings but he' s to laid back for me in his attidude, i would like to see the old neil but perhaps he is out of his comfort zone and we all know where his comfort zone is.

If you’d asked me that a few games ago I’d say we were doing very well. A lot can happen in the coming weeks and months. If , and it’s a big if at the moment admittedly, we get 3 points from next 3 games we’re likely to be out of the bottom 3 again as Newcastle’s next 3 fixtures couldn’t be worse.
