Newcastle Utd vs West Brom

[Happy Face 29]

Conceded more than twice as many goals as in the the first 9 last year though. One clean sheet compared with 4 in the same period.

 

Conceded an average of 1.44 per game this season. The average was 1.34 per game over the whole of last season.

Everything just seemed half-arsed yesterday, the fans, the performance, just the whole attitude towards the game. The CM's were all over the place and never made an impact on the game, alot of the time we'd just pump it long and completely miss them out and Ba would have no one around him meaning WBA would have the ball straight back. Having Shola on the right stopped any movement down the right and very little came from there. On the plus side Santon is maturing into a quality full back with every game he plays and is always one of our better players on match days. Also Krul showed yesterday why he's one of the top goalkeepers in the league, the first save was world class, to get a hand on that shot was unbelievable.

An historic moment on Toontastic, I can honestly say good post J69, not one thing I disagree with, well apart from Sammy needs to play more often. He's shit, and he'll end up at Derby/Sheff Utd, the rest I actually said most of them yesterday after the match. Jonas just runs about, working hard, taking one for the team but does very little constructive.

Hope you're wrong but I think the Sammy hype is a bit OTT as well, like.

Sammy should just be an impact sub at the minute. He's got some potential without a doubt but he's nowhere near ready to be starting PL games. I'd put Ferguson in the same bracket. I think he might end up as a good full-back but he shouldn't be starting week-in, week-out at present (ideally that is, I don't mind him starting if it means Santon on the right and Simpson nowhere near the pitch given the current squad).
