Yes Alex Neil. I don't have any memory of the context around the game just the being up in the gods and going from 2:3 in injury time to 4:3 and the home fans and players going nuts. Home fans waiting for us at the exit with stewards panicking. Plus a fit blonde sat next to me.

Tumbleweed 106 Posted November 30, 2021 I'm not so sure Newcastle will come roaring out leaving space at the back. That could really backfire for them. Since it is such a pivotal game, arguably more so for them now, I reckon Howe will look to keep it quite tight, at least initially, to make sure the crowd don't turn and to avoid us getting momentum. I think it could possibly be a steady, going on turgid first half then they will increase the tempo second half for the win. Howe won't want to have to chase it, but I do think they will be fired up and suffocate us, we have some errors at the back in us so they can be a bit more patient. I'd be v. happy with a point, I'm forecasting 1-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,204 Posted November 30, 2021 Far too much positivity on here. Yes, we've made some progress in the last couple of games but nothing like enough to believe that we can go to Newcastle in these circumstances and win. I will be astonished and delighted if we come away with anything. Given we have not scored a goal in 8 of our 13 games and in 5 of our 6 games away, forecasting us to score 3 is somewhat optimistic. When you add in that we have kept 1 clean sheet away from home, we are very unlikely to be able to stop them scoring. I'm afraid I can't see anything but a defeat. Hopefully not too heavy. I think we have a much better chance of getting something at Spurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted November 30, 2021 It's the dawning of a new era for City fans. No more ACN - it's 'Oh f*ck; it's Norwich!' from now on (OFIN). Angry Canary leading the charge. I've priced up the barcodes and it's a 2-0 Norwich win with change to spare. Pukki and Rashica. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted November 30, 2021 Rashica the key man. To help contain Saint-Maximin but also to keep on attacking what I gather is a weakness of theirs at right-back. An assist for a goal might be a good bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seemed like a game where Newcastle were all over us, but we rose to the challenge and fought back well. Thanks wow that seems a long time ago! My view at the time was that losing that game, from being ahead and the panic at the end when he brought on a 3rd CB which the players obviously didn’t know how to play, was when Neil’s confidence in himself was fatally undermined and he was never really the same for the rest of the season. So I felt it was pivotal and from then on it was all downhill. Let’s hope we get a result tonight. A win and we’re really well set. A draw is not bad. Defeat puts us right back down in the ****.

Agree that Howe should be more circumspect than some people think, but actually I think with their defence their only real chance of winning is all out attack, but that should lead them extremely vulnerable to the counter attack. So if we can stand firm against the initial onslaught (Hanley please god don't **** it up), then the general consensus on here that Pukki and Rashica will both score looks a decent bet.

Yes it was 2-3 at 90 mins and AN brought on Ryan Bennett to add a 3rd CB which simply didn’t work, they were just throwing balls into the box and we could not handle it and conceded one, then they were all over us and got the winner.

Gutting. That is quite correct. We went 1-3 up and looked confident but Alex Neil panicked as the second Newcastle goal went in. The change (extra CB) just invited pressure. Our whole playing approach changed thereafter. Before that match I recall a Docherty equaliser in another St James classic (2-2?). I have a feeling tonight will be very dramatic, lots of open play. A big pitch and all that. Could be lots of goals. Thanks btw for the Amazon Prime tip a few days ago. Never tried it on the TV but will test it this evening.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for the Doc I have to say. Just seemed not to be a footballer but gave his all. Unusual character really, quiet off the pitch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numan 25 Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Newcastle's defence is not very good. Rashica could run riot against his full/wing back. Sargent will be able to keep his full/wing back quiet giving Aarons the chance to get forward. Pukki should get chances against this defence and Sargent may get his opportunity too. Their midfield is nothing special so Mclean and Rupp (presumably) can keep them under control leaving Gilmour to do what he does with Rupp lending a creative hand when necessary. Williams should be able to link up with Rashica and hopefully create some opportunities down the left. Gibson and Hanley should have no problems against Wilson but their lack of pace could see them undone by St Maximin. If that guy is on form we could be in trouble. My prediction ... a Norwich win. I could, of course, be talking rubbish. Edited November 30, 2021 by Numan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
