After last nights mauling why doesnt Jones sometimes change things to 4 - 5 - 1 or even 5 - 4 - 1 for some away games , especially after this game . Results like Bristol City wont come every week and I for 1 wud have taken a 1 - 0 defeat last night before the game or even a draw and at least Mc Phail has got some game time again , and look on the brightside as tonite's result aint gonna make any diff for us getting a play off place . We aint gonna win the league but a top 6 finish is defo on and who knows maybe 2nd ?

For last night, two points.
Newcastle's game is centred around dominating central midfield. So yeah, 4-5-1 would've been a better option last night.
I also don't think we should've started McPhail.
I'd rather have seen Burke on the wing, Whitts in the centre and Macca on the bench.
Oh, and DJ clearly couldn't learn from Barnsley - Ross + Chopra up front is about as effective as using piss as Concorde fuel.

they said on the radio commentry that DJ wanted to give Mc Phail an hour for match fitness , guessing Alan Smith was like a 3rd centre half again then ? Its frightening to think that if Swansea , who play the same system , had the attacking forwards that NUFC got where they wud be in the league ?
