[Albion] Positives from Today (Newcastle)

[Kosh]

Webster seems fit again, Lamptey is almost there, Bissouma looks fit, Burn fit after the break Wellbeck and Alzate making better progress than expected both fit by Christmas, another game unbeaten and best of all Dunk gets a late call up for England in goal by soppy bollox Southgate, still looking good for Thursday night trips to Transylvania next season, dunno why everyone seems so upset with the result.

Exactly.

It’s a measure of how far we’ve come that we’re all terribly frustrated with a point at home against a marginally improved Newcastle, this and the toon army will now be declaring that they are BACK!! after snatching a point away at (formerly) little old Brighton. The fact that we’re a bit gutted and they’re celebrating like it’s 1969 says WAY more about them than us.

We’re on the square, we’re on the level... we’re a good PL side.

Because we were awful

We're 6th in the table. They're 2nd from bottom and quite a way adrift of 17th at the moment.

 

[nwgull]

None of our defenders got booked for a change.

We won the xG 1.43 - 0.23

 

[Change at Barnham]

We get to see Steele or Scherpen in the premier league.

I watched Scherpen for the U-23's last night. I'm not convinced he's ready, he looked nervous and a bit clumsy with the ball at his feet.
If it was down to me I'd start Steele at Villa and I'm not sure he's Premier League quality.
We may well need to amend the amount of times we play out from the back.

We were great against Liverpool. But we still didn't win. One win in seven ain't good enough for a team looking to finish top half.

Three of those performances were rubbish (palace, Norwich and today) and one of those we got stuffed.

We need to up our game or we are just destined to finish 4th or 5th bottom again I'm afraid.

Sorry, which of those performances did we get “stuffed”?

Should be doing better... I wonder where you expected us to be after 11 games, as I certainly didn’t expect it to be 6th...

Man city stuffed us.

Don't get me wrong league position is great but if we continue on the current trajectory we will be tumbling down the table very soon.

This, I was just looking at my photos.

This was my other highlight.



Actually have a great video of it …. to send my son who’s away at uni.

It was that shite today I don’t need to watch it again on MOTD.

I’ve tuned in just to watch Manure implode, again. Then off.

 

[Bodian]

Dunk kept a clean sheet in goal.

Thought he was poor myself - didn't make any saves or catches.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Webster, our best footballing central defender, is back. For a match fit Webster, it was his type of game.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Just had a lovely Naga Lamb

With Utd losing, Chelsea only drawing v lowly Burnley at home, none of the other big sides playing and so few games today, motd surely must have had their lowest viewing figures of the season to date. By the time our game came on last probably only a handful of die-hards still watching, thank god

Would love to know its viewing figures, say 1995 to now. I very rarely watch it, the format of a couple of minutes analysis, is shite to the Sky/BT panels of former great players, given plenty of time.

 

[heathgate]

Home already.

What an shocking second half, Duffy to Dunk to Duffy, once they scored there was no coming back …. our players showed zero football intelligence in the half.

Yep,.. the sideways and backward passing was also very pedestrian, giving Wilson in particular, every chance to disrupt.

That last stat is hard to take positively considering the result

 

[ShandyH]

We’re 6th in the table, albeit temporarily.

Newcastle are very decent on the break and an athletic, physical side. I was quite impressed with them. Their fans were a good bunch on one of the very few trains back to London.

My gripe is that we caused them problems right at the beginning of the second half when we pressed high up the pitch. We were too conservative.
