Clearly a tactic with the new appointment to make the fans turn on each other rather than management. Every interview since JDT left has been all "we're all in this together" and "we need the fans" yet as far as I can tell the fans are literally the only ones who have held up their end of the bargain all season.

Exactly this, this squad has no fight in any game that requires any pressure. We're as good as down, and Waggott's cheerleader won't be able to do a thing about it. Would love to be wrong

I have no expectation that we'll get even one point if I'm honest.

If he has said that then for me his position is untenable, but he's honestly here mostly as a shield for upper management anyway so it won't change anything. You can't run a club where the people running it feel nothing but contempt for it.

Playing staff has been gutted, promising manager not backed and replaced by a happy clapping cheerleader - we're done. This time we will not be coming back either.

The club is rotten to the core. There is not a single member of the upper management who I would care about keeping and I could probably count on one hand the players that I'd care about having next season. Waggott has done it again - it's criminal that he can get away with killing club after club with zero consequences.

Has been most of the season. Occasionally pops up with a goal or assit but offers little in general play.

Classic Rovers, only ever turn up when there's no pressure to perform. All the optimism from midweek blown up in 45minutes. Seems the manager is Waggott's yes man who came in to stop the fans revolting, but clearly can't get the wins needed to save us. We're going down and we won't be coming back. Venkys Out

Why? He's literally a Newcastle fan?

There are plenty of centre backs who can take good penalties

Being able to stop like that in the run up is ridiculous, should have to retake

Why have we let them have first kick AND their end?

115mins and the ref finally gives something for a pull

This is phenomenal. Scotty you BEAST

PEARS! I take it back, he's getting better every week. Superb performance tonight.

Regardless of what happens now, the lads can be proud of the shift they've put in. This referee needs sending back to the A-League though, most bent ref I've seen in years

Tbf Dubravka(sp?) has been fantastic for them as well.

He does but when was the last time he actually played any football, let alone against PL opposition?

SAMMMIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO LADS!

Okay, we have limitations but swapping a CB for another when needing a goal? Literally what is the point?

Game over. We've been awful since the subs and literally everyone saw it coming.

To be honest we have this issue even in Championship games, I'd argue a lot are lucky to be in the Championship. We're starting to get battered here, all men behind the ball effort from now I imagine.

Not really, it's not like he's had any control at all over how poor our squad is. Tony deliberately threw games in the cups.

I think we're also starting to tire a lot. This triple sub coming up is probably going to shift momentum significantly in Newcastle's favour. I hope I'm proved wrong.

How on earth did none of that go in?
