Will Bristol City be a big handful? Bristol v Newcastle match banter!

Another victory for the lads?

Another victory for the lads?

Well, it’s another long trip for the lads this afternoon, as Newcastle United take on Bristol at their West Country fortress, Ashton Gate.

Currently in the temporary charge of Keith Millen after the departure “by mutual consent” of previous incumbent, Gary Johnson, the Robin’s form has hardly been spectacular recently. Even at home, they have won only two of their last six matches. They have also been carrying a few injuries too. Having written all that though, they did manage to eke out a point out of us in a dour 0-0 draw at SJP much earlier in the season, so as usual, it wouldn’t be wise to count our chickens until they are hatched and various other metaphors.

For more in depth pre match speculation, as usual, you can check out Toonsy’s excellent match preview. There will also be full match review, once again by Toonsy, coming up sometime after the game.

This time there will be UK TV coverage, courtesy of Sky Sports (hence the 5.20pm kick off), but if anyone has any good video links to the game for people who don’t have it, I’m sure that would be much appreciated. As ever, this can be the place to come together during the match and p*ss and moan, as we usually do.

We will of course try to get the team sheet up when it becomes available.

Howay the Lads!

Kick-off: 5:20 pm, Ashton Gate.

    Harper
    Simpson–Hall–Colo–Jose

    Routledge–Nolan–Guthrie–Jonas

    Carroll–Best

    We all knew that best was gonna start. It’s a shame that Nile hasn’t been allowed to show his worth at all this season. Waste of money and hindrance to our “strong youth policy.”

    thanks toonsy

    I live in Florida and daylight savings time just screwed me up. I just now realized that we have another hour almost until the game starts.

    avatar Big Dave says:

    AndrewT I agree about Ranger not getting the chance he deserves, but maybe he will get a 20min run out later, and maybe we might even see Best score today and see a different side off him to what we have seen up to now as I havn’t seen him do much except keep Ranger from getting a chance.
    2-1 win for us

    Andrew T – It’s much hardr to find a stream in the championship so most of this season has been radio only unless it’s ‘game of the day’ on the championship round up show or unless it’s on TV like this one is.

    If we go up then we should be able to get them for every game as PL football is more widely broadcast.

    You say best has done nowt. I think he is like heskey he creates space for others while looking like he couldn’t hit a barn door. Swansea a typical example we were doing nowt till he came on. Other sub appearances have kept the goals coming just not for him. lets hope today is the day and its the winner

  75. 75
    avatar davis_toons says:

    Haper did well to well a very hard and power shot, stright at him, but the ball just came off him a little.

    My question is – Where is all the newcastle players, that should clear when the goalkeeper keep the ball out.

    What i is saw was 3 on rushing Bristol City players!!!

  76. 76
    avatar Ross says:

    Why isnt that a yellow card? He’s gone in from behind and not won the ball

  77. 77

  82. 82
    avatar Ross says:

    We’ve settled a little now by the looks of things, starting to see more of the ball. That was a chance for Carroll given the form he’s in n’all.

  83. 83
    avatar AndrewT says:

    It’s only 20 minutes into the game and we’re still running the game for the most part. Why is Jonas playing in the center so much?

  84. 84
    avatar Ross says:

    “launches himself to the ground”-I wouldnt go that far mate. He’s beaten two men and been taken down.

  85. 85

    its another scunthorpe away score type thing coming up i fear!!!

  86. 86
    avatar toonsy says:

    Awful by Jonas.

  87. 87
    avatar Ross says:

    If Routledge’s foul was a free kick, thats a penalty. There’s an arm in his back as he jumps for the ball

  88. 88

    Refs give us nowt any other team would have got a penalty.

  89. 89

  95. 95
    avatar Ross says:

    toonsy, i dont know who this commentator is but I dont like him. He always does our games with Sky and he’s constantly putting us down. He gives us credit should we score or that, but just in general as the game is going he likes to have a bit of a stab every now and again. Claiming Jonas launched himself to the ground, before claiming there was nothing going on in the box like you say. He’s either holding his shirt or got an arm in Carrolls back. Both are fouls.

  141. 141
    avatar Ross says:

    He’s picked the ball up on the touchline in a 3 on 1 situation, cut inside no worries and to be fair the strike was excellent, but we just havent really turned up. They’ve pressured us from the word go and have looked hungrier. It was quite obvious they’d be galvanised given their current situation but at the end of the day this is a team that have won 2 in their last 12 games and they’re taking us to the cleaners. We’re missing Lovenkrands in the final third. Alot of what he does goes un noticed. He makes intelligent runs and drags defenders out of position. There’s been none of that today and they’ve defended rigidly. We should have scored there. he should have hit it early.

    Don’t write us off yet lads jesus it’s like being on Ed’s blog last year! We’re playing some good stuff but haven’t been clinical in the final third, Guthrie came so close there and that woulda turned the game right on it’s head.

    Hughton will get a rocket up the player’s backsides at half time and we’ll come out fighting, and with any luck start to dominate possesion. I reckon we could, maybe, nick a 2-2 draw here, which would be a result.

    Lets hope CH rips them apart in the changing room I know its not just down to 1 or 2 players but Harper should have had the 1st, Nolan hasn’t been on song again but Best is a fuking Donkey. I still hope we can come out and give these ones a game and stop it turning into a rout

    simpson so sh.t like i said to that guy who thinks he is class!best is going to stay on if CH has got any brains put ranger on thats why he cant be trusted to manage us in the prem stick with shit all the time and it takes him 50 games to change it like guthrie was playing on the wing then he brings him in midfield.

    no chance of bugga all out of this game. lets forget about it. what is important now is we dont loose the next one… away again… to another easy team like bristol and scunthorpe eh!!! forest now 9 behind. we loose again and they six behind… could be intersting ha ha. if we implode now it would go down as the biggest f*** up in football history i think.

    asim the fact that you’re calling hughton a clown completely undermines anything further you may have to say about football.

    The lads are looking complacent. Nolan is looking to get a few goals in as often as possible, Guthrie is looking ot set up a few goals as often as possible, Routledge and Jonas are continuously attacking so that leaves a massive gap between the defence and the midfield.

    That was exciting!
    That’ll do, i suppose.
    If Guthrie had scored at the end of the first, we’d of won that.
    Thank you Jonas, worked his ass off for the result.

    “Been trying to think of a catchy headline for the report, speaking of which i’ll crak on with it now.”

    Do what I did, toonsy. Try a trite, lazy, breast related double entendre. :-)

    007- there will be no massive investment. i dont think i even want it anymore, all of the other MASSIVE investments apart from shearer have not been worth a wonk. all our best players were cheapos. the big names – all fucking crap, every last one of them, it means nothing without having the heart for the club or fight in your belly. big money does not mean big improvement.

    @Clint Flick: That’s an Andy Gray line if ever there was one. “If he scores, it’ll be a goal!”

    asim… ease up pal

  318. 318

    asim… simple fact is, we should be thrashing every team other than brom and boro. christ, colo alone is worth more than all of bristols team twice over. If you think that what we have will work wonders in the prem you are so wrong. we will struggle like mad in prem. end of.

    never said that mate! Thats why i dont like CH even if he has done wonders for us!the facts he has got no clue about tactics or just playing players who are not good enough to play in front of others like best. the centre midfield area is a must which i have said all season too slow but he has not even bothered about it and it took him 32 games to play gutheri there if he plays them we will struggle so thats my point. he is not going to get rid is he.

    Well made, well finished 2nd goal.
    As was their 2nd.
    & both teams first goals were ‘keeper ‘errors’.
    At least the lads showed some fighting spirit, to get back into it.
    Pity we couldn’t just nick it like.

    Next!

    Jonas was disgustingly poor today. He only came to life when Gerkin passed the ball to him. Before that, he was awful.

    I like Ed and I always read his blogs but he has posted one saying this is “2 points lost”, completely oblivious to the fact Bristol City are a seriously difficult team to beat at home. Yes, they’ve been hammered a few times recently but check their record over the past 2 seasons, it’s a great home record.

    A great home team record + a hideous first half = a good draw.

    We’re still in pole position to win the league nevermind get promoted so lets not get too negative.

    Mostly unhappy campers to-day folks, whadda you want ?
    to win em all ?
    Got your excitement with a late comeback for the draw and a point, not a lotta teams capable of that.
    Still top of the division, with the probability of promotion yet no-ones happy.
    Lotta player criticism and name-calling, c`mon folks we are N.U.F.C. in the second tier not a PL first four team
    and may never be one for that matter.
    Hey ! lighten up and enjoy being the best in the fizzy, things wont be so easy next season.

    I am positive. I have loved the Championship, its a much more pleasant and enjoyable league than the Premiership.

    My only negative was how bad Jonas was for 70 minutes. He was misplacing passes, he wasn’t even defending like he normally does, he wasn’t making runs, he was diving like Tom Daley and he was just atrocious. The moment Gerkin messed up, he suddenly came to life.

    I also note Hughton only made one substitution again today, lol. I love Hughton, he’s a top class guy but his hatred of substitutions angers me, lol. Stuff being on his bench, you know you’re only getting on if someone breaks a leg.

    NUFCELITE!Yes he is a toon Fan! he makes good points look at the bright side he got it right in the end when he said we wont get beat when we were losing not like most of the blog saying thats it or we are shit and why is best on the only answer is he was right in the end not beliveing we would not get beat and that all that matters.
