Matt Ritchie had another good game for Newcastle yesterday and he scored our third goal and has been playing very well for us all season.
But on the Newcastle website after the 3-0 home win over Ipswich yesterday Matt admitted he’s been a little unhappy that he’s missed a few chances of late.
That will probably come as a surprise to most fans, since Matt is already a huge favorite at the club and has settled his family on Tyneside.
Matt Ritchie after scoring yesterday
But it’s also an indication of the high standards the former Bournemouth winger has about his game.
This is what Matt has said on the Newcastle web-site:
“I’ve been beating myself up a little bit. I’ve had a couple of chances of late – I had one against Norwich late on and I had one in the first half as well that I probably should have done a bit better with,”
“I was delighted to get the goal in the end, but most importantly the three points and put them out of sight.”
“All our games are big. Obviously the league is a priority, but we want to go as far as we can in the cup competitions as well, and we’ve got the squad to do that.”
“I’m really looking forward to that. We’d go into the last eight if we win against Preston, so it’s a great opportunity for us.”
Matt has so far played 14 games for Newcastle with 3 goals and 4 assists.
Comments welcome.

Stoke have Pieters who is better than Dummett so he’d cover injuries there (they are also struggling a lot atm though tbf are a decent PL outfit), West Brom have Pulis who plays all CBs at back 4 and relegation candidates and Palace who are relegation candidates and he’d be covering for injury there

Comment #82”Ignore WWSBRD he’s proven over the last few
weeks that what he knows about footy would easily fit on the back of a postage stamp”
Do they do T-shirts saying pot – black – kettle. If not they really should. To be that hypocritical and so unoriginal in one sentence. The boy’s still got it.

Comment #83ww
for so long we have had wingers covering fullbacks so we ended up with no width
atleast this way round with a defending fullback in dummet the winger can attack and we have some width

Comment #86To be fair under Rafa our backline of Anita RB , Lascalles CB, Mbemba CB and Dummett LB was more than comfortable in the last 6 games of the season against the likes of City , Palace, Liverpool and Swansea

Comment #97Dummett
Dummett is a very good defender quick likes to get stuck in the tackle in the old style rarely gets caught out – good in the air.
The only thing that lets him down from being the all round footballer is his use of the ball – tends to look down at the ball/ground needs to get his head up and takes one touch to many. Gets in great positions to cross take yesterday put over a couple of great crosses one resulting in a Goufran flick on for the first goal -but – second half attacking the Gallowgate twice in great positions crossed the ball to hard and deep.
But the lad can only get better by playing
Another who gets to much stick is the Jack ‘The Ginger Pirlo’ Colback who I gave my MOM to – always a outlet for Shelvey and used the ball well yesterday – only his stupid tackles/bookings let him down.

I haven’t touched it since buying it, I watched a few of our games last season but have been watching our live games in the pub or the Brighton game at SJP. I’ve got sports hub phoenix sport UK turk Bulldog but none of the sports channels will connect. Movies and TV series are fine.

Comment #109Was in the Leazers end yesterday as I wasn’t allowed to buy the seat next to me in level 7 Milburn as it wasn’t for a child’ I wanted to go with our lass, ridiculous!!
Anyway, I didn’t think we got out of 2nd gear, what a pleasure it was to watch Lascelles and Clark, Lascelles is GOING to be some player!! Yer man Yedlin, what can I say, pace, vision and dare I say it he can defend now too.
Great game, on Dummett, the lad plays the game by % play, doesn’t take too many chances and perfectly summed up already in that he Kent look up enough!! But I’ll say it again Lascelles!! Brilliant CH.

Comment #112On players out on loan.
Tim Krul has yet to get start at any level for Ajax.
Siem de Jong had played in 6 games but his bosss at PSV , Phillip Cocu is starting to sound like various Toon managers “he can see his undoubted quality but there is something missing from his game”

Comment #113Jib,
Krul still isn’t fit, Ajax were the only team ready to take him with an intention to buy him later, Rafa fully intends to stick with Elliot and Darlow, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sels is sold on at some point.
Something about Krul has upset Rafa, don’t know what but I know he wanted rid ASAP.

Comment #115Shame about De Jong. He came with high expectations but the lung surgery seems to have taken the wind out of his sails.
Does anyone know how that young kid is progressing, the one with the amazing ball skills and tricks. I ve forgotten his name.
