[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Tricky Dicky]

I see this one going away from us, with the Geordies getting the points ... or we nick it 1-0. What do i know ? Nothing.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Bad feeling about this one. Can't see us keeping them out & can't see us creating enough to get anything from the game.

I feel confident we will pick up at least a point

We do better in the FA Cup

Bit pissed off by Football Focus describing today as "the big match at the bottom of the table"
Feels like a classic case of assuming we are going to go down and not bothering to actually look at the league table

 

[Ecosse Exile]

My worry is that Hughton sets us up defensively, have a go, they are very beatable as their last 5 home games have proved. Just cant see it, i think we will set up to contain, spoil, nick it on the break and will come unstuck much like last season up there.

Great night out in the Big Market last night with some great Albion characters. Foz, Swabey, Gary Pearce, you've still got It! Same again tonight with a 3 points bagged.

They actually described it as a "bottom of the table scrap". We are 12th ffs!

Don't have a great feeling about today. Hope I'm wrong, but I'd settle for a point right now if it was on offer.

Bad fan, in Pershore missing this

I used to live in Pershore.

Not feeling confident. I fear another Huddersfield performance and dejavu of last season when we didn’t turn up in a hostile atmosphere. Newcastle have lost five on the bounce at home and that can’t continue for much longer.

I was at a different game last season if it was meant to be a hostile atmosphere. Have never been so disappointed as an away fan at the lack of atmosphere at a ground. It may just be because I was expecting a loud home crowd but they were quiet as mice bar 5 minutes after each goal.

Fair enough, I wasn’t there but just assumed that given the importance of the game and the size of the crowd that the atmosphere would have been hostile.

Really hoping that we can put in a great away performance but our very negative set up for most away games, and lack of pace up front and the drying up of goals worries me

Nah, they were pathetic. Didn't even see then punch any horses after the game either! Came away very disappointed.

They only punch when they're losing!! After losing five already it could be like a knackers yard this evening

Glad Shelvey ain’t starting.

The pie and drink are a nice gesture, but an oxygen cylinder might have been more use after all those bloody stairs!

The far waiter is bringing excuses out early

The Newcastle boss believes his side have been short-changed at the Amex twice in 2017.

He urged them to be on guard in a very public reminder about he feels are illegal blocking tactics by the Seagulls.

Solid team. Murray to 'win' a free kick just outside of the box for Knockaert to score. My £5 saturday bet money is an away win!
