Daryl Janmaat had a personal blow when he was left out of the Dutch squad for the recent Euro 2016 qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey and the Netherlands surprisingly lost them both.
How did Daryl react to being dropped by new manager Danny Blind – he has been Newcastle´s best player in our last two games and even scored against Watford on Saturday and that goal was our first in 464 minutes of Premier League play.
That´s the best way to respond to a disappointment and it shows great character from the Dutchman.
Daryl Janmaat scoring against Watford on Saturday
Newcastle play Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow night in the 3rd round of the League Cup – and a win would help the confidence of a number of our players.
This is what Daryl has said in the Chronicle today:
“We can do well in the Capital One Cup but you need a bit of luck with the draw.” “It is a big opportunity this season.“
“Yes of course. I want to play in every game. I like playing football so I want to play all the time.” “The club want to win prizes and the cup is a big prize.”
We have to prepare right and go for it.” “The cup goes quickly and we could be in the final 16 if we win against Sheffield Wednesday.”
“Don’t forget the Capital One Cup. It is a really important game for us. We have a big week ahead and we have to be ready.”
“Yes of course. I want to play in every game. I like playing football so I want to play all the time.”
Steve McClaren has said that a number of senior players have come to him asking to play tomorrow night, and obviously Daryl is one of them.
That´s a good sign and we will have Mitrovic back on Saturday and maybe he can get on the goal track – but he also needs to stay on the pitch on Saturday against Chelsea.
Aleksandar could be the player who can get us going this season, with some goals.
Those are good words from Daryl – and positive too among the gloom and doom of the press that´s surrounding Newcastle at the moment.
We need to start winning six games in a row – and the negativity will all disappear.
Howay The Lads!!

Comment #1the ONLY logical way to solve the injury crisis is to loan out lac and not bring in another defender in Jan. It would be nice to have no cover at all back 4 positions for the 2nd year in row

Comment #19Well it’s very quiet on here tonight. Possibly people are praying for the club quietly in there rooms? Saying a few choice words about the Ashley years? You can buy those spiky chains and flog yourself. It’s about on par with watching Newcastle play football unfortunately…. 🙁

Comment #24GeordieTwo
yeap agreed. I think it will get worse. I have a feeling we will get relegated this year if not come even closer than we did last year.
Also think we will lose a few players and a few we will struggle to get rid off.
Love it how we have bids for poor players come in and the club are behaving like we have a bid come in for Messi.
Joke.

Comment #29Say we have 15-17 points at Christmas. It might be possible to save the season (avoid relegation that is) with some strong actions in January. Sunderland will probably be in the same boat. They always seem to act first. If we wait this time it could be all over at the end.

Comment #31McLaren is saying he will not panic at any point. I completely agree with that. But there has to be a football plan to get us out of this and that’s the part I don’t see so far. With so little in the way of experienced attackers who actually want to play (not Cisse in other words) we have a huge problem. And as usual no depth on defense…..

Comment #32Llambeezee I could possibly believe would be reinstated toon kk mate but not Kinnear. He has even more serious health problems now including some dementia apparently. I would love to get inside the dressing room. We keep hearing of serious problems, poisonous players etc. What is actually going on? Is Tiote a real problem now? Is he really hurt or not? What a shambles.

Comment #34We knew this would be a tough start however the defeat to Watford was a disaster. Not only the defeat but the manner of it. We’re in deep shit. Our defending is abysmal and we offer nothing up front, I cannot see how it will change. McClaren has a job on his hands, one I do not envy. He has stated that he should be judged after ten games, well I have made my judgement now. We’re doomed.

Unfortunately Mash has wasted most of his 50 mil, I’d be all for his resale purchases if we had plenty of experience in the squad. Another costly gamble. He may of taken a step back off the board but left the regime in place.
