Celebrating the goal was absolutely mental in the stands but given its importance, the time since a last one and the scenes in the stand I would have expected the full on 11 man pile with Ryan running the length of the pitch. Instead no one else except Murray and Gross joined in from what I could see.

Not very #together eh?

Most wanted to get back in position and push on for the win.

Yeah, I thought the same. I assumed it felt more like relief than elation.

Yeah I think it was very much a job half done let’s go and win it THEN celebrate.

So glad they kept themselves in check and didn’t celebrate like they’d won the World Cup.
Would have been as embarrassing as the great escape music being played at the end of last season.

24 seconds in. This was the last time we broke a goal drought (Wigan 2-1, April 2015) - even less celebration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txXsSD_uFTE

Well, we would have looked a bit stupid if all the players went ballistic and then Newcastle went on to score. Also, only drawing obviously means Cardiff still have a chance of overhauling our points total so it would be a huge egg on face moment at the end of the season if we'd celebrated like we are staying up then Cardiff go on to win their last two games.

More a case of disbelief that we had finally scored a goal l think. and/or the players forgetting how to celebrate!

I was going to start a thread on this too. There may well have been some embarrassment and refocusing on their position but I thought it was a bit odd and worrying. All is not well in the camp I think and most of that probably stems from poor performances and rock bottom confidence. Gross and Murray celebrated together, March gave a fist pump, Dunk ( maybe Duffy too) walked up but apart from that saw nothing from Knockhart, Stephens, Bissouma, the full backs or Ryan.

During the game you saw Duffy go mental when we failed to cross it but he's gone back to attacking headers like he did last year. At one point in the second half Murray had a clear first time pass to Knockhart out wide but chose to go back (really looked like Murray simply didn't want to pass to him) and AK threw his arms up. Suppose they've always been like this but just one of many things that didn't seem right compared to the spirit of the last two away games and pre 2019. Seems like everyone else here is 'nothing to see here' though so that's good.

People do like to moan about irrelevant things on here.

Edit: And see things that are not there.

It sounds like you can usually find something to worry about.
Munchkin is right, the equaliser was only a job half done. If we'd got a winner it would've been different.
