I think even if we did have supply CC would be toilet, All he wants to do is drop deep hold up the ball, fend off a couple of challenges and pass the ball. He cant head the ball and makes hardly any runs.

He should be prolific at this level, its embarrassing.

According to the Daily Star Newcastle have bid for 'JOHN' Tomkins. And according to the Express they have rejected their own bid.

We should sign someone with good positioning and good finishing

as opposed to good positioning / poor finishing or poor positioning / good finishing.

god knows what that lineo was watching for the 90 mins cos it wasnt the game

That referee on Monday was the most overweight official I’ve ever seen!

He made Phil Dowd look athletic!

Great skill by Sears but he completely bottled it and dived. He needs to leave the club. Hopefully he can go somewhere, play more regular and get his confidence back.

Piquionne had the miss of the century. at least when people blast it over the bar from 5 yards out they get a shot off. To be a striker in the box and be completely unprepared for the ball to drop to you is a joke!

Potts had a great game but Diop was my MOM. Potts looks fantastic, but wasnt really tested. He's still a bit lightweight to play week in week out but great potential. And to get as good as he is now after being so sick he's got to have a great work ethic. Reallly looks like one for the future....fingers crossed.

I'd rather see the kit man have more chances over Piquionne

not sure mate Sears has had lots of opportunities to prove himself but has only looked good on occation. I hope he goes on to have a successful career but i dont think he'll ever play in the premiership again.

Its a shame Sears never made it but he has to go. His performance against Bristol was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.

As for Nouble i remember when we signed him Chelsea and it was meant to be a massive coup!

Nouble will be easy enough to get rid of but i reckon Sears will see out his contract. I've heard he's on a decent wage, doubt he'd get that else where

Drawing with Bristol was bad.

Tactics were pathetic. I love most the things Sam has brought to our club but his tactic of waiting for the defence to make a mistake was wrong.

Im ok with long ball when it works (Carew) but it has never worked with Cole who only seems to head the ball once in every 10 attempts.

Sears is not good enough, it was an insult to have Diop on the bench. As soon as i saw a front three of Baldock, Sears and Piquionne i knew we would struggle. could have lost the game which looked a repeat of Cardiff and Ipswich.

When Newcastle and QPR picked up those '2 points' were they bottom of the table?
