Thought it was time to go back up today to show my support for the new regime - I'd decided
to stay away until Irvine was sacked after the Newcastle game.

Dour 1st half, little in the way of movement, team shape didn't look right.

But when we scored and Gateshead got tired, the quality showed. Particularly with Berahino
when he had a bit more time on the ball. Yacob and Samaras came on and looked much
better options than Dorrans and Anichebe, who I thought were treading water for most
of the game... Anichebe looked like he was carrying an injury.

I agree it would've been nice if Saido cracked a smile after scoring. I appreciate it's a
little embarrassing making a song and dance about celebrations against a non league
side, but a smile just helps to endear you with fans, team mates and the general public
who will be supporting him at international level.

Even potential suitors will be put off when he's got a face like a smacked arse after
scoring - no team will want someone miserable in the dressing room.

Of course, this may not be the case, but I'm sure as he gets older and has more media
training, he will realise that it's important to crack a smile when you score, regardless of
the opposition. Some great finishes by the lad though.
