jonnyhall 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Interesting to see the big Newcastle United flag banner made an appearance Pre-Match in the East Stand today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 It was the pre-match huddle that won it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I thought it was a decent game to watch. We dominated the first half, and should really have been 2-o up by half time, but they came out a much better side in the second half, whilst we seemed to stumble a bit. We didn't use the wings as much as we should have done. I thought our goal came against the run of play, but after that we were back on top. I was a bit disappointed when their goalie went off, it seemed to be a bit 'shoot on sight' from then on, where as if we'd just taken our time and created some more proper chances, we could have got at least one more. Still, all in all, a decent game to watch and the team's performance was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they needed to do was lob the ball into their box again and again and the makeshift goalkeeper would have crumbled. We had like 2 shots on goal when their keeper was off which was poor. He was standing on the 18 yard line. He could have easily have been lobbed. I was one of the people shouting 'shoot' whenever anyone of ours got the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the game it should really be about Newcastle United and the current coaching team rather than who is to come. It is better to have cheered for Newcastle tonight rather than Hitzfeld or any manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thought Dyer did ok (great finish for the goal) but why is it he cannot hold a position? When he plays wide right, he just drifts infield and today the number of times he ran 70 yards to take the ball off the feet of the centre backs, when he was supposed to be playing up front, was just stupid.

Mayor Steve 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 He may have been out of position at times but thank God he scored. He booked our ticket to the next round. Way to go Mr. Bling Bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3982 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I actually thought George Burley managed them very well today. He played one system in the first half which sucked our players into one way of playing and completely changed it in the 2nd half and might have got a result. Still think it's a shame we didnt move SBR to director of football and bring George in as Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
