Newcastle v Aston Villa Match Thread

Doug looks an extra yard faster than anyone on the pitch. So much quicker into the press, using the ball well.

The cynic in me says he's playing for his move if/when we go down.  Hopefully he keeps us up.  Need to win this, never get a better chance.

We are our own worse enemies.
Too fucking sloppy, too often

Agree and it is all over the pitch.  It always feels like it is just a matter of time before someone has a complete brain fade in our defensive third which will end up costing us.

I just have this awful feeling that they will score a shit goal and we won’t be able to break down their 11 men behind the ball tactic.

Did think that. Don’t really care if it keeps us up mind. Shame Jack and SJM aren’t doing the same.

Doug is a real player.

[Hookeysmith]

Good first half, Luiz best player on the pitch.
Samatta worked hard.

Missing that cutting edge but overall a decent first half.
