Who were the players who were still in Newcastle today?

[Neil]

According to Jim Magilton and will this tough attitude to the players work long term?

why shouldn't it...let then relax they become complacent.......tough love

[scarface]

I'd say buszaky and vine were poor today.

[Fez]

Vine is seemingly the weak link at the moment!

ask sir alex that question

ask sir alex that question

exactly too right it will, no point in being anything but honest Jim has definitely grown on me with his decisions to speak out and tell it like it is! Much rather that then the crap we had under say Sousa with the yea we lost 3-0 but we are improving and we will come good soon!

[big ade]

if we deserve to lose jim calls it and pulls no punches and i like that as it keeps the players on their toes.the good thing is no-one in the squad is guaranteed a place which breeds competition,dont praise a player if he was ****e let him have it.we have played the same team for 3 games on the trot now and i'm discounting today because the ref was card happy.if that game had finished 11 v11 it would not have been 2-0 end of.

Spot on Ade.........bit worried about not taking our chances, we could have been two up early in the second half, would have taken the pressure off...........we still need someone who can put these chances away..........oh for a top striker.

yep very true.... but without the sendings off the worst it would have been was 0-0!

we put 5 past barnsley 2 past bardiff but i agree we need a poacher,saying that though i have a good feeling about simpson i think he could get 15 at least this season.

Vine and buZ v poor today IMO

I think he might be on for 15 as well my concern is Vine IMO he plays against Preston and Reading and if he fails to score then he gets dropped! You can't keep playing a striker who never scores!

in my humble(not katie....mmmmmmm hubba hubba) i would revert vine to his original position as a wide man,he was class in that position when he came here and has more about him than hogan who couldn't fight a gnat in a shower.

Agree. I'd let him compete with Tarabbt for that spot. A striker he is not.

[THE FLYING COW]

yes

yes i agree with ade hes class as a wide left player,but i dont like him as a striker he simply cant play that position helgerson is a better finisher in my opinion
