Thought we got dominated for much of the game by a very poor Newcastle side. Bad signs. Ernie still hasn't found his preferred line up and we cannot rely on Ifill anymore. Hernandez needs someone to play off and he isn't getting it from Brockie or Stein. (only one of these 2 should be starting too - something I thought Ernie learned last week)
Newcastle targetted out problem positions - full-back. Thought that positionally Caira and Leo were absolutely horrid.
Lia-Hicks-Riera-Manny has to be the least inspiring midfield line up of all time.
I'd like to see one of our young attacking signings ; Rufer? ; get a run in place of Ifill / Cunningham - just to see what happens when a player is actually making runs in front of Carlos.
