If it went In what’s the problem ? I was taught to head down to hit the goal line.

Did the header go in ?

It’s in the Telegraph apparently.

Newcastle want Chris Wood from Burnley apparently. I can’t see it myself.

You’re dead right. Go on any other clubs message board and you’ll see similar complaints about their own fans. It seems to have got a lot worse over the last couple of years.

I hope they weren’t watching yesterday.

Pears yesterday reminded me of Peter Bonetti for England in that famous World Cup game against the Germans many years ago. Peter was a really top class goalkeeper but he went to pieces after he dived over a shot he should thrown his cap on. After that his game fell apart and he let two more poor goals in.

I thought he was ill yesterday.

He played half a team. I don’t get it. You either play the full first team or you play as many reserves as you can.

I wouldn’t mind betting that Dolan hasn’t ever played there in his life before today.

7,654. Mm call me a cynic but really ?

Of all the players in the squad Dolan would have been the last one I’d have tried out at right back.

I’d be “ You buy everybody a pint or don’t bother coming “.

Bryan Clough said after signing Peter Shilton for a record fee “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper, that’s why I want the best.”

I remember playing in one game were our goalkeeper flung himself full length horizontally to catch a shot in both hands. It was a jaw dropping save. As he was still in midair he tried to clutch the ball to his midriff and accidentally threw the ball into the back of the net. Even the ref was laughing. This was a lad who later played pro for Rochdale and, funnily enough, Wigan.

Been playing and watching since 1961. I’ve lost count of how many goals I’ve seen. That goalkeeping error for the second goal was a new one for me. It was as though the ref had blown up for a foul and play had stopped. Could be a career ending performance.

If he did he’s deluded. There is no loyalty in football.

That was a mega volley from Pedersen.

We’d have that many changes at half time.

I’d be surprised if they aren’t.

Do you mean 3-4-3 Chaddy ?

There is absolutely no guarantee that Dack will reach his previous standard of play. Even if he does it won’t be in the next month or so.

It’s all very well saying this Dutch lad can replace Nyambe and Souttar can Lenihan. Maybe Hedges is coming in for Rothwell also. It takes time to assimilate a player into the team and get them used to our style. Assimilating three players is even more of a ask. I appreciate we can’t make players stay who want to leave but wiser councils need to get involved in this.

His bank manager won’t be surprised.

I think Tony would rather play Buckley at right back before he’d throw either of JRC or The Godfather of Soul in on Saturday
