Yes I agree but if we dont perform well in our next few games is it likely we will start playing well against Plymouth - This is the Concern of some. Others possibly like you appear to think three points are certain from the Plymouth Game. Everybody is different and have different ideas

Of course what you say could happen but with our resources most people think we will automatically get promoted But I aree with you it is not a foregone conclusion and we will have to wait and see If things go wrong we will see how good a manager Pardew really is - It was pretty easy last season but we could have done better

Of course you are right there is a very slight possibility that all our stars will be injured and we will get relegated but there is a greater possibility that everything will be OK and we will be promoted For some unknown reason most posters think the second scenario will happen but only time will tell As we did not get promoted last season surely there is a better chance of it happening this

Lets wait until later before we make those kind of judgements injuries to Dickson and Richardson are unfortunate but I fully expect some more players to be recruited.

I think you are pretty realistic actually. Results and Form could be a little better but hopefully Pardew will get things right ASAP

It is a shame that you do not seem not able to understand the different points of view on the Forum Some think we should doing better others think Pre Season is for getting the team fit and the results dont matter. Do you think if we dont play well against Barnet and Reading we will be in good shape to play Plymouth I hope we start playing well if we are to win League 1 as easily as fans are expecting

No but our form Pre Season has been worse than Englands in their warm up games

I doubt it but the expectation was that we would be unstoppable this season but as yet that does not seem to be the case I still think we will do well overall but we need to start playing well now

I dont think Pardew was expecting todays result Just accept we were poor and have to improve if we are to get promoted. I am not saying it wont happen but at the moment there must be a concern that things are not going as well as they should be. Including injuries to key players

Benji four points are of little relevance

How many League Games will the Opposition be better than Sutton United

No idea but I do expect us to start winning soon The second half team was missing Dickson Puncheon Harding Lallana and Dickson

And we need to hit the ground running was a common theme a few weeks ago

What were Newcastle's other results pre season

I dont think he understands football but the point he is making today I have to agree with. I cannot see if we do not start playing well in Preseason how we will suddenly click in the League. Hopefully it will happen but as I was not that impressed with the Performance against Farnborough I was hoping for better against a less strong team with our major players involved

What he maybe saying is that the team most Saints Fans think is the best in the League is not as good as they think. On present form he has a point I would have thought. 1 1 against Sutton Utd is really an awful result but hopefully things will improve

Yes I tend to agree with you Wes We were not that good against Farnborough but most were Squad players so I was expecting better

Every year we have poor pre season results followed by poor Legue Results

He started in the First Warm up Game

Perhaps they might want to keep him

A bit under whelming really I suppose

President Obama possibly But it could be more Silver Ware for Mr Cortese if we win

Is there a Penalty Shoot Out if scores are equal or do we go into Extra Time for The Presidents Cup?
