Looks like those diving lessons at Byker Grove are paying dividends...

KWP a bit hesitant on the left, fluffed a couple of balls to Djenepo and caught in possession twice.

Wonder if Saints have been told something about the Newcastle keeper. 4 long shots on him now.

What a great series of quick passes from Saints. Ends with JWP skying it. Tino should have whipped it across box.

We look good in the early stages but the pace of Newcastle and a high(ish) line could be our undoing with the pace of St Max.

Newcastle going to ground with every bit of contact. Referee is easily conned.

Ely linking up well with Tino, looking to play it early.

Good surge Tino, Newcastle player dives to end his the threat...

Pacey move by Newcastle, Salisu to the rescue. Willock looking to be a handful.

Fuck forgot how much I hate the roof shadow at SJP.

Thanks!

Bah, not available in my country. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

Bastards! Suffered through so many Saints games and I miss this one because first half I was teaching a class, second I find that there’s no stream! Would have loved to have watched all those goals go in. Hoping there’s highlights somewhere. MLG? Anyone?

JS: Listen here you little shit, I’m captaining you in my FPL team next week. Two goals, 2 assists, 3 bonus points, minimum...got that!

Ings missed his fair share and got pelters on here. Adams has been excellent both games too. You’re embarrassing yourself, but you know that, you just want bites eh Glagow?

Well done Ralph! Ripped you a new one last week but much better this week.

Thanks!

Absolutely. Someone else mentioned it but in the end, the last 10 plus stoppages was actually quite comfortable. Obviously we were joking about a late Utd winner but I didn’t feel that anxiety. Hopefully we kick on from here!

Seems that way. Would have preferred us not to take Theo and instead use those wages on Romero. We have an abundance of non scoring wingers.

Fair enough but I don’t have much faith in AM as a shot stopper.

So frustrating because I feel even though he didn’t place it well, AAs shot would have beaten McCarthy had it been at the other end. Boggles the mind we didn’t try and get in a GK. Sanchez is working wonders at BHA.

Trying to remember. When Diallo came on did they sit as a 3 in front of the back 3 or did JWP move up a bit?

Hope so. We definitely looked better once he shuffled it a bit. He can still play his press (case in point AAs chance) but we need to be more solid in the middle. I thought we limited Pogba and Fernandes pretty well after the formation change.

Hope RH now sees he has the power to make little changes and tweaks during the game and that we need to be a bit wily like that making it more like a game of chess than sitting on his hands watching the formation and tactics fail without reacting.

Incorrect. He saw the issue we all did and fixed it.
