And as for Lossl, don't see any problem at all. In my opinion he's the best keeper we've had in years. Much better than legends Alex Smithies and Danny Ward.

Yes, but you can say that about every position on the pitch Snoots. But lets be honest. It isn't exactly a high bar now is it.  Confused

Kachunga has had a scan and it's ankle ligament damage which puts him out for the rest of the season. The ref didn't even give a foul for the challenge! Angry

And will it get reviewed by the Prima Donna's of the Prima Donna League? Not a snowball in Hell's chance of that happening.

I thought that tackle by Kenedy was shocking. Straight red for that. And if that wasn't bad enough, he headbutted Hogg in the 2nd half. Should have been off for that too. It's only cos Hogg didn't fall down that he stayed on the pitch.
When all said and done though, we didn't deserve anything from that game.
Far too defensive minded from the beginning.
Need to really get at Brighton from the off next week. Like we did in the home game against them.

It's what I expected to be honest, nothing against the players or management but at this level we are struggling and have been really for a good while now.

First half Newcastle were all over us like a nasty rash and should have really been 2 or 3goals up and out of sight. Security mad half much more solid from Town and more of a even game but just when you get your hopes up we get a right good kick in the teeth...all in all a fair result.

It's obvious we just don't have that extra bit of quality that is required and if we are to stay up then it'll be because Stoke and Southampton have failed miserably. Each week that passes that they fail to get a result piles more pressure on them and let's us off the hook.
I've nothing against the management or the players and will back them all the way. The manager is doing his best on a limited budget and the players are doing there level best to keep us in this division.

I'm afraid it's going to be squeaky bum time from now until the end of the season.

If we keep playing as we have in the last three games it'll take a massive slice of luck for us just to pick up any points between now and the end of the season. Unfortunately the motto of "We're not here to say hello" seems to have disappeared as we look very much like a team who are just happy to be where we are. Another game where we failed to score, and another game where we never really had a go until we went behind. In reality if Gayle was half decent they'd have been out of sight by half time but their own ineptitude gave us hope that was sadly extinguished just when it looked like we might scrape what would have been an undeserved but massive point.

I'll never get on the backs of the management or players but honesty should never be mistaken for negativity, which unfortunately is becoming a thing now, especially for some idiotic 'celebrity' fans. Already got my ticket for Brighton - I'd snatch someone's hand off for a point.
