I'm not a negative person and always credit the players on a off day. But I'm sorry Tomori is Obika in disguise.

Did anyone else notice Murray gesturing to the crowd when they scored their second, 'where are you going' I think he said

Yep, but we also held it together against Reading beat Barnsley and Burton. We have got more points from late winners than late concessions have cost us

People need to stop worrying.
The gap is 7 points with GD - Brighton are going up.
Newcastle should be miles ahead, and who cares if you go up in second.

I always thought if they got one they'd nick a second before the end.
Was a decent game and not much in it, but our passing was so sloppy in the 2nd half that we were gifting them possession constantly.
Can't complain about the result, think they were worth a couple of goals.

But you have to react to the performance on the pitch - Hemed for Murray would have been the first voluntary sub for me.
If that was true, we wouldn't have won every game in which we'd gone in front, or beaten every other top 10 team we'd faced at home. I don't know why we gave the ball away so often, but I think Newcastle got their tactics right. Dale Stephens is a central midfielder, so I started getting worried when he started dropping back to take the ball off Stockdale's feet like some sort of quarterback, but that seemed to be the only time he could get his foot on it in spells where we were under pressure.

Very true. If we were 7 points adrift we'd think we had NO hope!

Their winner came from Bruno's side.
I thought that he didn't do too bad 2nd half.
We gave them too much possession 2nd half.
We have to win Saturday and hope that Newcastle win too.

Could see it coming and like most said we lost our nerve with hideous mistakes Time and time again.....The best side won on the night.Could have done with some earlier subs and having 3 wing backs crocked is now an issue.
Still a long way to go and no to disheartened by this defeat

Stephen's gives the ball away when in possession too many times for my liking

We should have put 10 behind the ball with 10 to go and just kick it long and out of the park every time it got to our feet.

Too many mistakes tonight, how many times did we give the ball away.
My bed will be nice and dry tonight though, until Saturday at least.

Have a word with yourself, he really isn't! He was poor in the first half, and he's not as good as Seb, Bong, or Liam, but he settled down well in the second half. You have to remember he is way down the pecking order, but nowhere near as crap as Obika.
