File that one away.

[OTF 6167]

On balance of play that's a great point.

[Dr Gloom 19826]

Good point. Rode our luck at times 

[Rayvin 4964]

Yep, take that for sure. Clean sheet suggests we're getting things right in that department, just need to fix the disconnect in the final third. Which, tbf, is squarely what the club are focused on.

[Isegrim 8870]

Good point, poor performance.

It's plane to see.

[ewerk 26370]

That was a hard earned point. We definitely rode our luck at times but Brighton looked very good. Hopefully they go off the boil like they did last season otherwise they’re definitely competition for a top half spot.

[Gemmill 34501]

Bit of a reality check after last week. 

[Craig 6307]

We've got to be happier than they are with a point. 

 

2 games, 4 points, zero goals conceded. How very unlike Newcastle United. Long may it continue.

[spongebob toonpants 3604]

I've just realised what I was finding weird during the game

I enjoyed watching it

Good tactical battle and even though we definitely rode our luck, at leat you could see the graft and the planning that had gone in

he just needs to dust himself off after only getting a five minute cameo

Definitely. We’re a tough team to break down and press well. Just need some more quality in the final third.

 

Pope is man of the match, twice saving us a point 

[Alex 30414]

Might not be the end of the world if we’re struggling to break teams down. In terms of the owners getting the chequebook out

[Polarboy 2124]

Hopefully that, if there was even any doubt, clears the minds of the money men and women about what we need to do in the final few weeks of the window. We can't progress as we'd like on being solid and having a lot of grit, both of which we showed in abundance today. 

[spongebob toonpants 3604]

Nick Pope!

[MMXXVIII 1042]

I'd have taken that before kick off, having watched it it's a cracking result. Midfield were poor and I'm starting to lose patience with Saint-Maximin. Might be time to move the little shit on.

[Ayatollah Hermione 12767]

Watched about 6 minutes of the match but I think that’s a good result tbh

[NJS 3980]

We're a lot harder to beat and a lot more organised than we were but the same old problem remains - creation and taking of chances. 

 

I really hope we sign at least two attacking players before the deadline. 

[wykikitoon 16669]

Didn't watch the game.  But at the start I would have taken a draw. Still unbeaten and future England Manager Potter won't be happy 

[wykikitoon 16669]

How did the stats on ASM do?

Best ball of the game for us was unfortunately Wilson crossing it in for nobody with the nous to get on the end of it.

[Dr Gloom 19826]

I actually thought his decision making was better today than it has been at times. 

[Kid Dynamite 5922]

Hopefully a wake up call that we are light up front. Nowt on the bench to change a game
