He started badly, then he got better and then he's gone pants again.

Yep, agreed. Lanky bugger so should be able to get on the end of some corners.

Is this the worst referring performance we've seen for some time. Terrible.

This ref is ridiculous

Absolutely wonderful stuff from Buckley.

So we're getting absolutely nothing from this ref then. Nothing. Ridiculous.

Kick off delayed by 15mins

Don't think your bet will come in, largely because you've backed us to score! 🙈 The rest is correct though.

A Moran and Buckley centre midfield partnership 🫣 Gonna be a long night. Newcastle name a very strong lineup.

No Tronstad (ankle injury) FFS!

Telalovic leading the line? 😯

It'll be a brave call to stick Koumetio into the starting 11 when he's only made the bench once and not played a single minute under the new manager. If he doesn't start Fadz, it'll be either Chrisene or Pickering in the back 3, the other at LWB.

Good move for him. Genuinely hope it works out well for him. He'll have less time to work with players so he'll need to adapt to that but I'm sure he'll do a good job.

I still get 28 in those first 18 games (undoubtedly I'll have made an error somewhere) but it's irrelevant either way, we were still conceding more goals than the majority of the league, I dont know if the averages above are in the normal ball park for goals conceded (deffo not the December onwards ones) but we weren't that good defensively (compared to the rest of the league) at best we were below average.

Have you seen any potential timescale he'll be out for? Be a shame to lose him after he only just came back.

Has there been any update on Hedges injury?

Nar we weren't. (Assuming the data I'm looking at is correct) We were 17th (joint with Plymouth) for goals conceded (28), we were propped up heavily by the fact we were the 5th higgest goal scorers by this point (31). We've been down in the lower echelons for goals conceded for the majority of the season. Clearly the wheels fell off in spectacular fashion from December onwards. Results were obviously good enough to see us sit 7th at the time but clearly the "outscoring the opposition tactic" wasn't sustainable in the long run.

According to Jackson, that's the first time we've come from a goal behind to get at least a point, at Ewood this season. And it's only the second goal from a set piece we've scored this season. Jesus wept.

Under JDT, I was quietly confident that we'd do well in this one. Can't see the same hope under Eustace with the style he employs. It'll be 1 way traffic and we'll have no chance of holding out for long. I think we'll be incredibly lucky to lose this by any less than 4-0.

Ends 1-1, a good result in isolation but results around us mean its not so great.

Only 4 points off the bottom 3. Squeaky bum time.

Ashley Barnes on. We know how this ends.

HYAM!!

Oh, I thought that other fella was assistant manager?

Tough game but Norwich don't have the best away form. Really hope we can pull something out of the bag here and nick a win. Reckon we might take the lead before our old mate Ashley Barnes comes back to haunt us again. Wouldn't be against Faz laying an elbow into him tbf.
