And that’s gorgeous from Payne too. That accuracy you don’t see from top snooker players. On a string. Simply sublime.

Next 13 months could be Kosta’s finest.  Still remember his first goal for us.  Just before the Bahrain 🇧🇭 wellinton tie (I think).  What a little champ he is, alright 
 Are we sure Kosta is staying next season??
Unless someone is paying for him, he doesnt have much choice..

Newcastle clearly disjointed after the news Stanton is leaving went public.

Still, good to see us looking ruthless!

Pretty sure was an OG but the ball in basically forced that anyway. What a play from the boys

I really question why Nagasawa was on the bench for so many weeks when we were still in it, he was put on the bench after one of his best performances for us - and I was really critical of him before then. How we've managed a few players this season has been baffling

The assist was so good I forgot the passing before it too, and Nagasawa keeps it simple like a boss.

This is actually a good watch.

If my only complaint can be that we haven't scored more then this is leaps and bounds ahead of what I expected tonight. Keep it going lads 🔥

One of the first times this season we've pressed properly in midfield and passed decently

Good half that, very enjoyable

was confirmed by Kosta recently that both he and the club have the option to unilaterally extend his contract for another year. No chance that either he or the club doesn't trigger it. He's ours next season for sure

Appears goal has at least initially been awarded to Nagasawa but I expect that to be taken away from him. Looks like an OG and his reaction after it went in also makes it look like that is what happened as well

That second goal starts with:

1) a first time pass from Ishige to keep up the ball speed, rather than taking a touch and getting shut down. 

2) bit of tiki taka from Payne and Ishige keeping the ball moving and speed up

3) a nutmeg pass from Payne 

4) a backheelish pass first time from Kosta 

before it gets really good. 

I hope Nagasawa gets it, but I’m happy it’s gone in however it did despite some desperate defense.

Where has this been all season - great first half, but really disappointing that we haven't played like this earlier in the year.

I have not been a fan of Sheridan this year in his midfield role, but it has played a better half so far and actually looked to be more attacking which has helped.

What a difference positive intent makes in a game.

That was fun. Costa you gem! Our transitional play has been outstanding. Look what happens when you get a fit Rufer and our two Japanese imports putting on a good shift. Defense has been tight and well organised too. Since Chiefy gave up playing out from the back we have looked ok. Such a shame about Chico.....he would be carving up the Jets

2 goals, amazing.

We have been steadily improving the last few games - finally good to watch. That second goal was an absolute gem!

Pathetic. Not apathetic.

A change of tactics that we needed 8 games ago has paid dividends last week and so far this week…… do I dare to dream we sneak into the top 6?
I do wonder if des had some sort of input after his visit last week

Absolutely unheard of! - that usually takes multiple games to get those stats, not just 45 minutes!

Great first half, love the attacking intent. Hope we continue with it in the 2nd half - also side note I'd love to see LBS get a run at this Newcastle defence

Just checked the score after being too occupied to watch the first half and it's great to see us so far building on the good performance against WSW.

Let's really put it to bed in the second half!

The Jets do seem a bit lackluster, but is that because we’re taking it to them? Or their coaching issues? 

It seems like a further experimental line though with Ishige playing deeper near Rufer at times, and Nagasawa playing off Kosta’s shoulder? 

Maybe in your 30s and not built like Piper you’re less likely to throw yourself into challenges. I think that physicality criticism still stands, especially with the way the refs have been ruling this season. 

Can we get Brooke-Smith or someone off the bench to finish it off?

No need rufer!
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

The real tragedy of this season is this was Kosta's season to win the Golden Boot. If we had been half decent he would be out of sight atop the goalscorers chart

Ring changes. We’re currently open doors.

That's a foul isn't it?

That's a foul on the keeper.

VAR has done us no favours this year. Terrible call.

I've seen a heap this season ruled out for less than that!

That’s not a foul. It’s just sh!te goalkeeping.
