Wharton was calmness on the ball personified up until recently. Seemed to struggle a bit with the whole passing out from the back malarkey which to be honest was partly down to the inept midfielders in front not coming for the ball. He'll be fine.

The misconception that Newcastle have the most loyal fans in the world, and that they're long suffering (or were till the recent takeover). The shit ale at most grounds. I know its not specifically football, but its part and parcel of the day out for many. Rather bizarrely one of the best pints I've had this season was at the Turf! Clinton Morrison. "Who are ya" chants. "Insert name here is a shithole, I wanna go home" - GO THEN. Sky Sports trying to force womens football on us.

Can't see you having an issue, it's a big old away end and don't think they usually let home fans in there so can't see why they wouldn't give us another block of tickets if required. It's a good away end too, plenty of boozing and eating options at the back of the stand, one of the best in the league IMO.

He's made 1 appearance all season for them, not sure if he's been injured though. Was their best player against Palace when he came on.

Elliott was a lot better than Morton, he's been struggling in the Liverpool first team though lately and fans are getting on his back. There's no chance Morton will be in their first team next season. I do think he's a decent player, just a bit soft sometimes, partly down to his age and slight frame though. When the teams playing well he embraces it and performs. When we're struggling he tends to go missing.

Cantwell seems a bit of a loose cannon, in and out of the team this season but not always for footballing reasons according to Smith when he was there. They may be open to a bit of cash for him though with his contract being up in 6 months.

Take it a lot of us received this today....hopefully they take some of the feedback on-board

So we were 3rd at this stage last season I think after a dogshit 0-0 against Huddersfield. Were we better than season? I would say probably yes up to now although cracks were appearing. We went on to lose another 10 games, won 6, and drew 5. The way this season is going i think that would even be enough to stagger into the play offs 😳 Crunch time now though and there's a few teams below us that surely will pick the points up. Interesting transfer window coming up, if I'm honest I expect a poor one though like last season....

Looked like a Glute strain the JRC injury, if so at least a few weeks out.

All you'll get from JDT is "ask Greg" Looks like Khadra is done at Sheff Utd and presumably will be available to someone else on loan. I think I'd be open to him, we lack pace a lot of the time. PNE are desperate to sign Archer on loan, surely he'd pick us over that shower? Exactly the player we need, one of anyway.

I was thinking the same on Kipre he looked like a slug and his only real input was dishing fouls out.

If you look at their recent form grinding out 0-0 draws its no wonder it wasn't a spectacle. The defence was superb today and I was never worried about conceding, perhaps also indicative of how shite Cardiff where too. No idea who a large proportion of their players even were, it was like they were bringing random GTA characters off their bench. Dack showed glimpses again, he's getting there. Some of his passing was poor though. Gallagher was really poor just passing it back to their players for the most part. Everyone else had a decent game really IMO. Hope JRC ain't badly injured after seemingly sorting himself out.

The go to answer when it was tough against Wigan etc was to just shout get dack on. I do believe he's looking a lot sharper lately tbf, our our fans don't half scramble about for excuses and reasoning sometimes though

Maybe frustrating to some but I thought taking Dack off was probably the right move. We were on the verge of being overrun in the middle of the park. The subs kept us in it, albeit relying on some fortune to conjur up some chances going forward.

Whilst not the main position to fill, what's gone on with Janik Vestergaard at Leicester? Seems to just be an unused sub most weeks? Someone I really rated at Southampton and would be a belting loan signings if someone could persuade them to let him go.

Part of the reason we played well first half against Boro is because they came to attack. Cardiff won't attack like that and won't offer the space in behind. Can see this being a horrendous game, as yet I'm still undecided if I'll go (I probably will as I'll still be half cut and my judgement inpaired)

Reel it in. Our recruitment department is a set of misfits we've plucked off LinkedIn or via adverts on indeed, or friends of friends. Rotten to the core this club.

Did anyone read the feature on the official site regarding the alleged brains behind the team, the scouting etc? I'd suggest you don't if you want to remain positive for our transfer window. I'm saying no more or I'll come across as a judgemental so and so. But our future doesn't appear to be in very capable hands behind the scenes.

If they're not, then why not? It's pretty obvious that the place was a holiday camp under Mowbray, has JDT tried to change that and upset some? If so then tough shit, it needed to happen and it says more about the players than the manager. Listening to Szmodics on the commentary last night though it doesn't appear that the players are rebelling against the new regime on that front. He could of course be talking shit, OR he views things differently because he wasn't part of the lemon drizzle revolution. Do they disagree with the tactics? Quite possible, but it's been mentioned that he values their input, talk of presentations after a defeat to receive feedback on what went wrong etc. Or is he just blindly ignoring the feedback and insisting he knows best? When a manager loses the dressing room you usually see a few things. Suspicious 'injuries' when players can't really be arsed. We have a few injuries at present but they do seem legit. You tend to see petulant behaviour too, much like we saw from Buckley last night. You'd expect him to be happy about being recalled to the team and not acting like a child. The jury is out I guess on the players interpretation of the manager.....

I'm not even pro JDT at this stage but last night they pretty much held their own second half when they could easily have been battered after going down to 10. The game plan was working, we were practically going toe to toe 4-2-4 with Boro and we were edging it. The tactics went completely out the window after the red and we switched to 4-4-1. It nullified Boro for the most part, their goal aside, which in fairness was a good goal. What it also did was destroy our attacking impetus. The lack of a plan B or willingness to adapt continues to be a massive flaw for JDT. Whether it was a red card or not is up for debate, what's unquestionable though is that the red card ultimately changed the game.

Not really sure how you jump to that conclusion. Yes they scored early in the second half but no way we were dead and buried at that point. In fact the only stat Boro really came out on top on was they had more possession, oh and corners.

Sunderland will be nowhere near the play offs for Christ's sake. People really ought to stop looking at the league table for a while. I'd be amazed if the top 2 change all season. The next 4 positions most certainly will! Being 3rd in December means absolutely fuck all, fortunately for JDT it's saving him from more stick than he's already getting though.

JRC had another good game tonight I think. Its been a testing few weeks but that's been a major positive.

His info has never been right before, be careful what you take as gospel 🤣
