If only he'd have struck it first time intead of waiting for the goalie to prep himself for it. He could have eaten his lunch and still saved that.

League's top scorer standing there on his own, it's an easy pass to him but Brittain strikes himself... Straight at the keeper.

More poor decision making from Brittain in the final third.

Another disgusting performance by players we've now seen can do better.

Wtf was that shot from Brittain? And why didn't Gallagher pass it earlier to make it easier?

He deserved his first win tonight.

Rovers looked the better team for most of the game and I didn’t think Newcastle deserved that. When will we get a bit of luck?

Don't look at the Telegraph comments. Some absolute class acts on there singing Venkys/Waggotts praises whilst laying the blame completely with JDT.

He signed a lucrative 5 year contract so they may stick with him. How are their finances after spending all that cash?

Give it to Damien Johnson.

You can’t give him Stoke, that was one for the coaches. He’d been here for a day.

Some unfair comments on Eustace, he's working with some very limited players and with a couple of better forwards and a decent midfielder we'd have won today.

We need to beat Swansea, Millwall and Plymouth to give ourselves a buffer. Beyond that I think we've only got Sheffield Wednesday from the bunch at the bottom.

There was some battling in that second half but as someone else said, a good result in isolation but we needed all 3 points to stay out of the relegation scrap. Every match we get a point closer to the relegation zone. Thanks Venkys and Waggott.

This hoofing it to no one shit just isn’t working.

QPR and Hudds at least brought a fight. Cardiff were shocking. We need an improvement if we're to gain points against better teams, that's the reality. We need our better players like Szmodics doing a job for us, he was very poor last night and a big reason we couldn't string an offensive move together. Swansea, Millwall and Rotherham upcoming. We need to be picking up 3 points from teams around us because we aren't going to draw many games playing like that against the teams above us. Last nights performance was a massive downgrade on the Preston game. There was never going to be a miraculous change around in results either way.

Not sure about a PL team, just a competitive team in this league with a smidge of ambition I'd be happy with right now.

I'd have taken the point beforehand and thank goodness is wasn't another loss, but a "tricky game"? Cardiff were possibly the worst opposition team I've seen this season and if expectations weren't so low we'd be unanimous lamenting a good opportunity to take all three points. Also I'm not sure how you can say we're going the right way. A better team would have punished us which is quite worrying going forward. There was dicking about at the back, silly cross field passes and poor defending so I can only imagine those saying we're more pragmatic weren't watching. Edit: just pointing out, I'm not blaming Eustace here (as someone suggested last night) just as I wasn't blaming JDT. He's not got much to work with and some of these players have underperformed for 2 managers now, in some cases 3. With even a slight upgrade (a decent fucking midfielder to replace Wharton would be nice) we could have taken 3 points last night.

Saturday is going to be a tough watch.

Chrisene's lack of effort in getting to that ball is just shameful. Then team instantly under pressure leading to an opposition shot.

Better at the moment.

It's the semblance of a gameplan that's lacking. I don't know what this is. This isn't scrippy scrappy, it's just shit. The lack of discipline with basic passing and movement is shocking, and that goes for players like SS too. It's that that's gone over a cliff.

Yet we still weren't playing as badly as that half of football. Let's hope Eustace has a plan B (spoilers, Brum fans say he doesn't).

Coventry fans pretty much told everyone, then someone in recruitment identified him as a potential signing then Gregg signed him.
