Eddie Howe wants to bring Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier to Newcastle, according to the Daily Express. Howe historically liked working with attacking full-backs in his old role as Bournemouth boss - while Trippier has long built up a reputation for his superb crossing ability.

Any word on how long the SD signs have to stay up at SJP .

Too much riding in this post marra

With the players having an easy ride regarding tactics, training etc under Cabbage. Its going to be a bloody big shock when there's not extra days off.needing to turn up on time & actually listening to the manager.. Apparently the mild mannered bloke who does interviews isn't the same one on the training ground. Ritchie, Fraser & Wilson will have no doubt briefed the other players about that.

Up yours you fish faced twat 🤣

Hard work starts now I hope the players are up for it. Because Howe likes to be at the training ground for 6.30am preparing training

Sorry Mr Fish you were right we were wrong your brilliant & we're rubbish thankyou kind sir

Joint bottom of the league, no wins in the 1st 11 games, unable to recruit until January. So no, no real urgency really. Also the fact that Villa fancy Howe as manager as well now

Might have to do with this Eddie if he doesn't turn up soon

Last season 29 points would have avoided relegation. On that basis we would need a further 24 points from 27 games which would would mean we need 0.88 points per game. If we base survival on 40 points that figure equates to just shy of 1.30 points per game. Using either points total we need a point per game as things stand

Next 3 games Brentford 20th Nov Arsenal 27th Nov on BT Norwich 30th Nov on Amazon We've got to be getting something from these as the December run is awful

11 games in... L-L-D-L-D-D-L-L-D-L-D

We're currently on 0.4 per game 😒

Norwich winning ffs

Aye good old fashioned frashing & "its live on Sky"

Brighton have 16 points we have 4 from 10. Agreed Brighton aren't 1970's Brazil. But they're head & shoulders (knees & toes) above us.

3-0 Brighton they won by that score against us twice last season. I'm expecting the same again today

Little bit previous with the match title. Tomorrow it'll be "The Jones Boys"

Hopefully we'll get the new manager bounce from the off.

Keeping it real innit

Fwiw not much I know , but I'd try Almiron & St Maximum as wingers get them both running down the line with the ball & crossing it into the box to Wilson. Theyre both very fast & I'd imagine them being a nightmare to play against as wingers.

Obviously the tactic at the minute is get the ball to St Maximum at every opportunity & see if he can work his magic. The only thing now is opposing teams have now got this sussed. Chelsea had 2 or sometimes 3 players closing him down almost everytime he got the ball. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Howe in charge

Will Howe be able to motivate these players ? Already 6 points adrift after 10 games. Many of them know they'll be replaced either in January or the summer.

For me IF Howe takes the job it'll be like the club went to Asda & tried to get the "extra special" range & have come away with "smart price" instead. Not the best analogy I know but thats how it would feel. Also you have to ask will these "world class" players that the club will be looking at want to come & play under Howe. Will he have the attraction of say Rafa, Pepe, Conte, etc. I mean it might all work out swimmingly but i'm not sure.

Miss Hoole now
