Norwood would have been a much better option than Sidwell, who is way past his best.
Don't let the truth get in the way.

I agree Norwood should have started. I was surprised he didn't.

Norwood was one of the few bright points in the game for me. I thought his range of passing and movement on and off the ball was v good. He'll develop a good understanding with Kayal but it's going to take time.

When were those in the game and from whom as I dont remember them. As I said I cant remember any saves that he made. Where are these highlights available to be seen.
They'll be the regulation saves that 'in my day a 'keeper wouldn't expect praise for'.I'm waiting for BG to get back. Could be a lengthy wait

Sky Sports website. The link is on the Highlights thread. Go watch and let your memory be corrected.
That's because you are only interested in finding faults with Stockdale

Of little relevance. Where were Brighton season before last?

****, ****, ****.
This is the persistent fouling chart. Score 22-13 Bookings 4-4 I don't think Baldock should be booked for his first foul and the second one was a collision and keepers usually get the foul. Baldock's one speciality is being able to tackle better than most forwards w/o fouling (unlike Barnes).
Baldock being sent off enabled Albion to get more play as the Newcastle players were temporarily prevented from fouling. But they brought their subs on and carried on fouling again.
We did some fouling in dangerous positions, a fault we have done before (often). WhoScored predicted Newcastle would score from a Direct Free Kick.

Newcastle started off mainly to prevent Albion's passing game and make us pass long and inaccurately which worked in the first half when the accuracy was only 68%. 85% second half to give us an average of 77% over 90 minutes.
Sidwell's foul was very silly.

That is bull...t I praised him last season when he played well this season so far he hasnt in fact I think Maenpaa did better. He has had a disorganised back four in front of him but hasnt communicated with them, at least it doesnt seem so. I am sure that the break before the next game will give him and the back four time to gel provided Duffy isnt away for too long.
My. biggest disappointment today was the fact that neither Sidwell nor Norwood seemed to gel with Kayal and it was so obvious as we were completly out played in midfield, our previous strong point.

A missed opportunity today. They had key players missing and we didn't really impose ourselves enough. Wasn't impressed with Skalak going down like a sack of sh*te all the time and Duffy didn't seem all that but he's only just joined so he will only get better. Thought Dunk and Knocky played well though. Baldock should really know better too. We REALLY need another quality striker
