QPR 0-6 Newcastle United Laugh

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Sep 2016, 9:27 pm

Good old Barnsley

by westisbest Tue 13 Sep 2016, 9:56 pm

We need to get 6 points this week, as our next two games after them are,
Newcastle h
Barnsley a.

Derby

by Geordie Wed 14 Sep 2016, 10:14 am

Newcastle are starting to look very strong. If they continue in this current form they will be difficult to beat this season.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 14 Sep 2016, 11:03 am

Much improved performance last night, still not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but a wins a win and ill take ugly 1-0 wins any day of the week.

Lewis Dunk outstanding again.

by GSC Wed 14 Sep 2016, 9:28 pm

Vellios scored an overhead kick apparently

I don't know what to believe in anymore.

by Guest Wed 14 Sep 2016, 9:28 pm

2-2

by GSC Wed 14 Sep 2016, 9:30 pm

And normality is restored Laugh

by GSC Wed 14 Sep 2016, 9:32 pm

Bendtner hit the post, that would have made my year

by Guest Sat 17 Sep 2016, 4:32 pm

Awful performance today. A case of after the lord mayor's show this performance vs Wolves

by westisbest Sat 17 Sep 2016, 5:09 pm

Tough game for us next Saturday John.
Wouldn't surprise me if you came to VP and had a good win.

I did think Newcastle would have another few home defeats.
The way the league is.

Another draw from us today. We just can't seem to get that win.
I suppose we haven't lost since Bristol City, so there is a positive.

by Guest Sat 17 Sep 2016, 7:23 pm

Yeah, huge game. Can see Rafa taking us back to basics for that game, similar to our performance against Derby. I think RDM will have you guys massively pumped for that game & try & use it as a 'season starter' or launch pad to go on from. Weird performance from us today, we will either lose confidence from it or it will be a kick up the ass & we will get a reaction at VP. Whatever happens, it will be tight. Expect a 0-0 or 1-0 scoreline.

by GSC Sat 17 Sep 2016, 8:07 pm

Had our chances to get something, but when you play a team like Norwich you cant afford to squander anything and expect to get anything.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 17 Sep 2016, 9:19 pm

Solid week for us - 9pts from 9. Still haven't really put together our best, but we ground out two wins earlier in the week and showed good resilience today to come back from 1 down

Forest have some handy players but the defence is a mess

by NickisBHAFC Sun 18 Sep 2016, 9:31 pm

Solid win in the end at Burton, they weren't interested in anything other than a point and made it very hard for us. Thankfully a rare correct decision from the official and Hemed, doesn't waste penalties.

Still good away game and great day out. Another ground ticked of the list as well.

by Guest Sat 24 Sep 2016, 6:00 pm

Aston Villa 0-1 Newcastle - OG Elphick

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 24 Sep 2016, 6:31 pm

Top of the league and we have barely put together a good 45 minutes let alone a good 90

Don't know whether that's good or not....

by Guest Sat 24 Sep 2016, 7:36 pm

Two points dropped, should of been out of sight first half & with Diame's miss. Woeful second half though, totally complacent & let Villa back in, who were beyond awful. Need to beat Norwich now on Wednesday, to make up for this missed opportunity.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 24 Sep 2016, 7:43 pm

Good point for Villa in their relegation battle

Big game midweek John - won five on the bounce...due a loss...

by westisbest Sat 24 Sep 2016, 8:17 pm

Comedian olly Very Happy

Very poor first half, Newcastle should have been out of sight at half time.

Much better in the second half from us.
Kodjia looked very good, looks a great signing.

Westwood and Bacuna need to be dropped.

Could well have won it.
Play like we did in second half next week we should hopefully get 6 points.

by Guest Sat 24 Sep 2016, 9:55 pm

Said at the start of the season that you were favourites & it's panning out that way. We're playing pretty crap stuff tbh, Rafa's style doesn't really allow us to finish off teams the way I would like, so quite frustrating. We've lost at home to Huddersfield & Wolves already, so if we lose on Wednesday, that would be a seven point gap to Norwich. Sels, Diame & Gayle need to be dropped for Wednesday.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 24 Sep 2016, 10:27 pm

Was gonna say the little I've seen of your new goalkeeper I can't believe he's keeping Darlow out of the side...

Should be an interesting game - I'm expecting us to bring in Tettey to sure up the midfield and maybe have Howson wide for Murphy. Neil tends to like that in these "bigger" games.

by Guest Sat 24 Sep 2016, 10:42 pm

Good Golly I'm Olly wrote:Was gonna say the little I've seen of your new goalkeeper I can't believe he's keeping Darlow out of the side...

He's literally awful. He's a good shot-stopper, but he needs twelve months adjusting to English football & the way he flaps at everything, is just horrifying to watch. Been numerous fan polls giving him no confidence & demanding Darlow to be re-instated.

I can't see us reproducing that 6-2 we did last season over you, that's for sure.

by NickisBHAFC Mon 26 Sep 2016, 12:16 pm

Another win, another clean sheet and some goals for Glenn!

Saturday was a success. Tough away game tomorrow night at Ipswich.

by GSC Tue 27 Sep 2016, 4:42 pm

Derby about to sack Pearson apparently.

by Guest Tue 27 Sep 2016, 5:27 pm

Yep, been suspended by the club & Chris Powell looks set to take charge tonight

by GSC Tue 27 Sep 2016, 6:45 pm

Their owners a nutcase. I say this with confidence because ours is too.

by GSC Tue 27 Sep 2016, 7:28 pm

Steve McClaren in the frame apparently

by westisbest Tue 27 Sep 2016, 7:46 pm

Looks like one of my 10 bold predictions will be right.

Quite glad we didn't get him now.

The bloke ain't all there.

Ye gods - his reputation is barely better than David Moyes' right now.

Now I've said that, he'll take over and win the Championship...

Newcastle 2-3 Norwich - Gayle (should of had a hat-trick by now) & Dorrans (p)/Jerome/Murphy

We blew it first half picard

by Guest Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:40 pm

Gouffran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Guest Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:41 pm

4-3 unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Olly!!!!

by Guest Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:44 pm

I was just about to type the words Rafa and under pressure Laugh

Sickener for the Nodge.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:45 pm

Lads we've just achieved peak Norwich

by Guest Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:46 pm

Hahaha

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 28 Sep 2016, 9:57 pm

Genuinely quite impressed that we've lost 4-3 after conceding two goals in the 96th minute, in a game we should've both won 3-1 and been 5-0 down after 20 minutes in.

Everything else is just gonna be a massive disappointment from here on in

by NickisBHAFC Fri 30 Sep 2016, 5:05 pm

Good point at Ipswich this week, however i really don't like our chances tomorrow at Sheffield Wednesday, with no Kayal and Stephens in the middle of the park. Time for Norwood to show what he can do and Sidwell to really step up!

Should be a good day out though, and another ground to tick off the old list. v

by westisbest Sat 01 Oct 2016, 3:53 pm

2-0 down at ht.
Fkn crap
That's all folks

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2016, 3:55 pm

RDM will be gone in the morning, westi. Get Bruce in there ASAP

by westisbest Sat 01 Oct 2016, 4:44 pm

1 win in 11 is relegation form.
Very bad.
Not saying we should be at the top, but with the squad we have, should be higher.

RDM getting things wrong.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 02 Oct 2016, 5:27 pm

Fantastic win at Sheffield Wednesday. We weren't even that great, Chris Hughton just got his tactics spot on and it worked a treat.

Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy really look a great partnership and Ollie Norwood ran the show.

by **Crimey** Wed 05 Oct 2016, 11:39 am

Neil Warnock appointed Cardiff City manager...

by NickisBHAFC Wed 05 Oct 2016, 5:46 pm

Did an excellent job at Rotherham keeping them up. That will be the challenge with Cardiff.

by GSC Wed 12 Oct 2016, 12:18 pm

Derby are brining back McClaren

by Guest Wed 12 Oct 2016, 2:16 pm

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 12 Oct 2016, 9:55 pm

Incredible appointment. Genuine lolz

by GSC Thu 13 Oct 2016, 11:13 pm

Some American who failed to buy Everton and Swansea now wants to buy us. Should be good for a laugh.

by westisbest Fri 14 Oct 2016, 2:10 pm

Stay away from the Americans
