Newcastle v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Proposition Joe]

For me, Trez and AEG were incredibly disappointing.

As was Jack, sadly.

Disappointing not to get all three points, and it does feel like another wasted opportunity. But ultimately, we've gained a point on West Ham and Bournemouth. Doesn't feel like it, but technically we are in a better position than we were.

I don't see much evidence we'll improve over the next 7 fixtures, but West Ham and Bournemouth fans will be saying the same. All we need to do is better their points totals by 1. All is not lost.

Very tense at the rear end of things.

Today was the day I officially lost my patience with Smith and this team. We make the same mistakes over and over and over and over again. The sooner we get relegated the better and I can go back to ignoring football.

So you only support us when we are in the PL?

Start next game with the side that finished this one. Trez, AEG and SJM don't deserve to the start the next game on current form.

[Goldie.7]

2 points from 9 is abysmal.

We all know how it ends...

[ChicagoLion]

Piss poor game management again, AEG and Trez crap but he waits until they score to do anything about it. He met his equal in Bruce tonight.

[Edvard Remberg]

I see people praise Davis, but I don't see why... either passed it to tight space or lost it.

I've been to St James Park Close to 30 times and I've seen us win twice. It's one of our biggest grave yards going. A point up there is decent.

If we’d shown that last ten minutes in periods against Sheffield Utd we would have won the game. Maybe even got summat out of Chelsea.

I can’t complain too much at that performance, however it’s made me a little more angry about the last two.

For all the criticism Purslow and Suso will get, I believe there’s more than enough in this squad to keep us in this league. The coaching staff and the players deserve just as much stick.

[Taylor]

Please no more Trez and El Ghazi

Absolutely. Both are so out of form.

[SaddVillan]

Can't see the point of pissing about.
Go for it from the start, 2 up front.
Bravery, not caution required at this stage of the season.

Why does Smith keep repeating what hasn't worked all season?
Bloody mindedness?
Short sighted?
Delusional?

He's beginning to lose the goodwill of quite a large body of the fans.

He needs to change things.

Points dropped - again

[Smithy]

We should have won that.  It is a worry that for all our possession in the final third, we don't really create clear cut chances.

If I'm clawing around in the scraps looking for a bright side, I guess we're closer to safety than we were when the league restarted? (thin, I know).

OK if you want to be pedantic I can ignore football until next season

[Damo70]

I had a fivefold on Newcastle, Manure, Everton, Wolves and Liverpool so I am claiming some credit for the point.

With Everton and Wolves winning that has to be classed as a point gained surely?
