Similar passive defensive style. Hopefully grind out a good result. People have this idea that it works for us teams attacking us but the truth is teams that are up for it push us back and we can't build up meaningful attacks which I suspect will be the same vs Newcastle. Hopefully we nick a goal or two from our 2 or 3 meaningful attacks.

Going, if it's as bad as tonight I may never go again. Last time I saw us againsg them we lost to a Joelinton goal. It can't get that bad can it? Massive reaction please.

I'm going to predict a 7-1.

I'm going to predict a 7-1.A good side.
Can't say us beating them and Howe won't send his team out just to nick a point.
I won't take a draw right now but think it's the best we will get.
Would need a quick turn round from tonight's paucity..
Just hope the lads bounce back but we can expect Newcastle to come in with their tails up. Home has been a safe house for us, but the team’s confidence will really be shaken if they get done.
The atmosphere around the ground after 90mins will be chaos if we don't win this. Is it almost time for Booing yet?

Desperation talking and it shouldn't be like that.
It says so much that we always seem to talk about players who aren't playing.
Irrespective of Kulusevski being fit or not, Newcastle will fancy it and Howe will have them more than ready
I think it's highly unlikely that we win.
It's kind of irrelevant though. We all know we might win although I think it's really unlikely.
But we also know that in the grand analysis it won't matter and that for me is the problematic piece.
We cannot deliver when the pressure is on. It's been like that for longer than I care to concede.
It’s all good guys, Emerson Royal is back for this one. If things couldn’t get any fucking worse from last nights gutless display
This game sort of feels a bit season defining now. Top 6 rival, we really need a win and a good performance against good opponents wouldnt go amiss either.
Sunday 4.30 KO best time for me to watch, at least by that point I should have 4 pints down me:contethumb:
Unfortunately the 5 at the back is inevitable so the only thing that can be changed really is the wing backs. I don't think spence could possibly offer any less than the other two and I don't think perisic has the legs for the wing back role in this league.

That would be my lineup to switch it up. I know it won't happen and many won't agree but we have to start performing better and keeping everything the same is clearly not working for the performance and it's not working for the belief within the squad and the fans that we can do something special this year. We must start doing better or I fear we'll drop off and it'll go the same way as under previous managers.
