Sels saw Baldock coming and kicked him and then fell over. I put that down to home advantage.

I though both sets of players were fouling all the time. One every three minutes. If all dangerous free kicks led to goals it would have been 3-6. After Baldock got sent off the fouling stopped for a bit. Then it started again. Neutrals turned over to watch Hull City in disgust. It think the...

Vibe scored for Brentford from the same sort of move.

Rafa is getting the hang of championship football quite quickly. Our passing game (what remains of it) could not get going because our players were marked heavily, persistently fouled and we did not have a speed merchant to run into space and stretch their defence. I don't think 4-4-2 is the...

CH had a pre-plan and it might have worked. I thought he ought to have swopped the wingers over in the first half. We got Newcastle before they gelled and their attack was down the right. I think with the new players they will attack down the left as well. Rafa must be dismayed that their...

WhoScored keep the stats. It was Beram Kayal. Not sure it was a foul though? Debited it for four fouls and credited with seven tackles. Was it just this referee or are all referees cracking down on all the niggly fouls?

Game was lost on free kicks given away by Kayal and Sidwell. Newcastle were good at them. Not much in it otherwise. We gave away three fouls in dangerous positions. They gave away six or more. As Dale Stephens is best at long free kicks, he might have made a difference? Stephens is probably...

Our average for fouls this season is 16 the worst in the league followed by Newcastle 13.8 in third place. We are third at being fouled at 14.8 in second place behind Derby at 16. Last season it was 11.4 (10th place) fouling, being fouled 9.9 (18th) The worse offenders this season are Murray...

22 fouls by a side is ever such a lot. Probably more than any team over 90 minutes since we returned to the Championship. Sunderland committed 29 fouls at the Amex, but they lost their rag in extra time and more than 7 occurred then. I suspect that Raf instructed Newcastle to play the...

This is the persistent fouling chart. Score 22-13 Bookings 4-4 I don't think Baldock should be booked for his first foul and the second one was a collision and keepers usually get the foul. Baldock's one speciality is being able to tackle better than most forwards w/o fouling (unlike Barnes)...

Our passes have not found their man. Pass around a pressing team. Have we forgotten how to do it? https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1084905/Live/England-Championship-2016-2017-Newcastle-United-Brighton I think we might have to change something. There have been a few home matches like this...

11 years and two months

No 0-0 draws in all the finished games this afternoon in the top five divisions. I thought there would be a glut in the sun.

Supermac says: Important? It will tell us precisely what United’s chances of promotion are this season. In other words regardless of team selection, regardless of the absence of Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic, Newcastle must win. They are playing catch up after losing their opening two...

Its a 4 star **** game in my book.

4. If Anthony Knockaert scores this weekend, he’ll have netted in four consecutive league games for the first time in his career. Read more at http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016/sky-bet-championship-matchday-5-preview-3272574.aspx#yA9r8bPuMujwEruA.99
