NewCorkSeth Quick question. Where did we fall on the "winning a penalty counts as an assist" debate?
Does Swift get an assist for that?

Half-assist.

Jesus.. we've won a few games and all of a sudden people are going to poach Stam?

moo I did a Barnsley fan once. She kept wanting to be called a Tyke!

You're going to hell.

Has to be said the penalty was pretty tame...

Fosu scored for Colchester today.

Look at the pictures on the OS and the way Kermy celebrates the final whistle .... got to give it to him, he looks like he's celebrating promotion! Love seeing our players actually giving a shit. This is why I'm not particularly upset at McCleary. Yes, clear sending off and clearly stupid, but if i...

I'm surprised there weren't more clubs in for Armstrong. 20 goals last season and already 3 in 4 in this.

Newcastle - McCleary (scored)
Ipswich - McCleary (scored)
Ipswich - Williams (scored)
Barnsley - McCleary (missed - rebound scored)

Think it's worth throwing the Brentford away game into the mix as that takes us to 10 games in which was the suggested benchmark to make s more genuine assessment of how we are doing. Birmingham (H) D 0-0 Barnsley (A) L 3-0 Huddersfield (H) D 1-1 Brentford (A) D 2-2 8) Never been happier to be wrong.

tidus_mi2 Barnsley fans certainly were very gracious in defeat when I was reading their forum.

+1

They were vary gracious in person to the ones I saw/spoke to after the game. Said we played well and it was just one of those days for them. I hope they do well.

Hands down the best performance of the season, especially considering we were playing with 10 men for 60 minutes against the league's highest scorers who previously had a 100% home record. We looked sharp, bright, and hungry. We defended astutely and attacked with purpose. Don't really remember us p...

Don't see the logic in dropping Quinn instead of Williams...

What pub is everyone going to?

By pub I mean the other 2 people going.

What if the booers are booing the low attendance and it just happens to coincide with every time we pass backwards?

The whoscored statistical preview: Reading will dominate possession Reading will be shown a high number of cards Barnsley will score as a result of individual skill Barnsley will create many scoring chances Barnsley will score from a setpiece situation Barnsley will score from a direct freekick Am ...

Can this also apply to Sloop John B. please? Horrific, cringe, stolen and dated. How shit must we be, All songs sung to sloop John b Ah yes, you're right. I'm referring to the 'new' on "our way back" one that was made famous by Sheffield Wednesday. I just feel it's too late to hop on that...

I like RR's idea of keeping league discussion in the one thread, it would be good to have one for the rest of the Championship as well as the Premier League. After a shaky start it looks like Newcastle are finally hitting stride, I think they will need to (and could well) go unbeaten for the rest o...

Al Habsi Gunter McShane Moore Blackett Quinn VDB Swift McCleary Kermorgant Beerens That'd be my first XI, but I expect to see Williams over Swift now and it'd be harsh to drop Obita again after one game. Harsh, maybe, but against the league's highest goal scorers I just think we need that extra bit...
