MATCHWATCH : Newcastle United (h) sponsored by damage limitation

[Ian Royal]

Kelly off for Williams, by the sounds we're bypassing midfield (so presumably back to an Adkins / Clarke / McDermott play it round the back, get bored / pressed and lump it forward) so not necessarily a bad move.

JVDB apparently dropped into a third CB, so I can only imagine a slightly more competent version of Brighton.


We nearly score immediately, go close from the corner, Reading pressure and another corner.

[Melton Royal]

Moore off injured - replaced by Obita

[Hound]

Presumably Blackett to CB

Not good losing Moore but hopefully not affect the shape

[Ian Royal]

So... Beerens / Popa on for Grabban or Swift on for Mutch?

Another nearly a goal for us there, McCleary deflected just wide.

Gayle on for Murphy. Ruh-ro. Good bit of pressure from us just now.

[From Despair To Where?]

0-0. F/T

I'll take that, thank you very much

[Hound]

Will take that. Gap still 7 pts to Fulham, one game less

Yep, Fulham drawing a Brucie Bonus - AND Newcastle can only get a maximum of 107 points. Reckon they'll draw at least one of their last 10 games, surely?

[Ian Royal]

Bloody good result that. And we could have snuck it a few times by the sounds.

[Melton Royal]

Better than expected result.

Look forward to the BFTG posts

0-0. F/T

I'll take that, thank you very much

Yep, just fine with me.

[Royal With Cheese]

That'll do for me.

Bloody good result that. And we could have snuck it a few times by the sounds.

Indeed. I was dreading this one.

[3points]

McCleary hit the bar in the last minute
