At the very least him coming on increased the compensation Newcastle pay when he leaves.

Hopefully he just needs to go poo

Sammy now hurt. Groin.

Get Sammy off and give a young lad a go

That’s our team leader in goals scored from the striker position

Leonard has 3 the other two combined have nil. War of attrition for that starting role. In all fairness the way we pass the ball so much it seems as though we need a big ugly who could pose a threat from crosses in, which none of our 4 (including Gally) seem proficient at.

Siggy makes it 4

Someone at some point needs to be able to win a duel in the attacking half.

We’re going to need a 4th as we won’t keep them to 2

Easily could have been 3-3 there. We have no desire to defend.

All our financial troubles will be solved when we loan him to a premier side next summer to save on wages

Sammy for 3 by half!

Save by Leo. Sure it was floated at him from 40 out, but it’s a save

Link up is fine but not sure he’s much of a threat to score today or ever.

At least good practice of playing from a negative position.

We’re a Sammy and nothing else up top.

Siggys first touch there ruins an opportunity. Why take it so wide

Add to that we’ve gotten what 2 goals from strikers all season?

Our standard or theirs?

Two center backs and a center mid fucking about while the one player in the box is left alone to score.

FFS. We ship goals like a port

Get in! Sammy

Dreadful defending.

I do believe there’s some truth to what JDT says. Players want to play and advance their careers, managers pick who they believe are best suited and those things don’t always match up. Trav wants to play, and in his best position, JDT doesn’t seem him as better than alternatives. The interesting part is the fact the best offer available was a loan within the division to a side based on record you’d assume Trav would struggle to get minutes at. All this move does is shuffle his wages for 6 months and punt the transfer to summer

Loaning u21 players means 1) we don’t have the funds for permanent transfer fees 2) we can’t cover the wages of older experienced players and 3) were likely cash strapped for the foreseeable future
