There was a moment in 2nd half, where he beat one or two players, carried the ball, passed it and continued his run to between penalty spot and the D. He had lots of space, called for it back but AK (?) lost it.
In first half, they gave him a very hard time, but in 2nd half (viewed from the NS, on LHS side) he did well overall i think.

Me too.
I'm really surprised by the reactions on this thread, as I thought he had a very solid 2nd half.

...not really..still it all goes back to opinion over whether Tomori had a good enough game...personally after a nervy ten minutes I thought he did.....he certainly started to get the measure of Atsu....who then swapped wings with Ritchie...the second goal coming from Atsu's cross on Bruno's side of the pitch.warmleyseagull

This. He was out of his depth in first half, too timid to go upfield but I though really came on in second. He can head the ball which is more then Poco, and in second half was upfield a lot. Took a promising position on edge of penalty area on one attack when AK should have passed to him. I would have no problem with him playing in Sat based on second half tonight.

Without reading through this thread in its entirety, Tomori was a liability and got better.

From my position in the NW corner (so admittedly about as far away from Tomori as it was possible to get for most of the game) I thought he did pretty well. I don't get this need for a scapegoat. He had a terrible debut but has done well to recover, but now everyone just wants to get on his back.
Admittedly though, give me Poc/Bong/Rosenior over him every time, because they offer far more attacking threat.

Suppose that would have worked for all the knives out people who rubbish a player after a couple of performances. Been more convenient had he been right back and would then have been at fault for second and on that basis would be Obika in disguise straightaway never to rise above it for some on here.
Pleased to see a few who agree with me that he was very nervous and unassured in first half but came into game in second.

He's a right back & we played him at left back

Anyway, tonight will not define our season, and 3 points against Forest will banish any such quibbling (for a few days....).
Hits. Nail. On. Head.
One game at a time.

On his last warning
Timori obviously has natural talent.
It's very impressive how he's just strolled into the scapegoat role so comfortably and quickly, and yet he is still so young. Now I see why CH brought him in. The missing piece of the Jigsaw. Let's hope he can emulate Ashley Barnes or even JFC.
Fingers crossed we sign him come summer.

Pocognoli wasn't signed on a season loan because "our first choice left back got injured". He was signed as cover for Gaetan Bong who was perfectly fit. The only matches Bong missed in the first half of the season were when he was suspended (for 5 yellow cards, and then for being sent-off, after which he was on the bench for one further game before coming back in as the starter).
Tomori was signed on loan on January 23, primarily to provide the cover that Rob Hunt had been providing, intermittently, to the first team squad. That enabled Hunt to go out on loan and get some league experience (which has worked out great so far at Oldham). Tomori can play all across the back four but was predominantly played at centre-back in the U-21s and U-18s at Chelsea last season.
At the time Tomori was signed, we had sufficient cover at left back. Pocognoli was starting, Adekugbe was cover (he started at Preston in the league in January as well as the two FA Cup matches), and Rosenior had just played in three successive U-23 matches. It is unfortunate that within days of Tomori's signing, Rosenior suffered a setback in his recovery, Adekugbe suffered further injury playing for the U-23s on February 6 and now Pocognoli has gone lame (with Bong still clearly a little way from returning).

Rosenior came through another u23s work, played 62 minutes, on Monday so perhaps he's close to being back on Saturday at least on the bench.

Can't believe some of the stuff being posted in this thread.
When he first came on, Newcastle quite rightly targeted him. But I think he held his position and was backed up well by the midfield and was getting his confidence together.
Second half I thought he did much much better. Atsu was under control most of the half and he even had Ritchie sorted when they swapped. Some people are saying he didn't get forward well enough. I think that's more to do with the way the Newcastle midfield were set up. Bruno also wasn't the attacking force he can be.
In short, I thought tomori grew into the game and had a very solid second half

You're having a go at a 19 year old being thrown in to the biggest game of the season for either club?

I thought he was excellent second half
Would be happy to see him playing against Forest

He done ok in the Second half and he defended well considering he is Right Footed. Hopefully we will have Adekugbe or Rosenior back in the team against Forest.
