Matty Longstaff was handed his second straight start by former Magpie Stephen Glass on Saturday. The midfielder played 66 minutes in Aberdeen’s 2-0 loss at Motherwell before being replaced by striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
Matty provided a couple of key passes on the afternoon. However, The Dons just couldn’t find a breakthrough despite having 75% of the possession and launching 20 shots. Motherwell scored a goal in either half to take the three points. The defeat drops Aberdeen to 6th in The Scottish Premiership.
Kelland Watts continued his string of starts for Wigan, who have been undefeated since the defender joined on loan last month. The Latics downed Rodrigo Vilca and Doncaster by a score of 2-1 behind a brace from former Manchester United youth product Will Keane.
It was Watts’s seventh start in all competitions. He was again in fine form completing 87% of his 79 passes. He also launched two shots on target. The win pushes Wigan to second in the League One table just behind Sunderland.
Vilca came on as a second-half substitute for his first league appearance with Doncaster. The midfielder got over 30 minutes on the pitch but had little impact on the game completing just 6 passes. Doncaster have just 1 point from their opening 6 matches and sit at the bottom of the League One table.
Lewis Cass made just his second start for Port Vale in their 2-1 win at Swindon Town. The defender made 3 interceptions along with 2 tackles however was a little wayward with his passing.
Two goals, including one in the 81st minute, from Ben Garrity grabbed all three points for The Valiants. They move to 11th in the League Two table.
Tom Allan made his league debut for Morton Greenock in a 1-0 defeat at Kilmarnock. The 21-year-old was deployed on the left-wing and lasted 83 minutes before being substituted for Jimmy Knowles. Rory McKenzie scored the game’s only goal in the 75th minute.
Oisin McEntee, fresh of Republic of Ireland U21 duty, was an unused substitute in this match.
Jake Turner was also an unused substitute in Colchester’s 3-2 win at Barrow on Friday. The goalkeeper had made his debut and played well in a 1-0 against Gillingham in the EFL Trophy a week ago.

Comment #46Essex I’m a fan of women’s sport. I recorded Munster v Leinster women yesterday and we won. Cricket though, god no, it wouldn’t be popular over here, its just so slow.

Comment #47Bruce is probably a good husband, father , mate etc but surely his wife /family must be saying…get out, leave otherwise you’ll be the richest guy in the graveyard…I used to fit blinds and his wife’s parents asked me to supply and fit some for them and they’re lovely down to earth people therefore I’d imagine they’ve been on his back to pack it in…if Bruce had had a boss like Freeky Sheperd then he may have stood a small chance to change things around but I’m afraid when you’re boss doesn’t even give a shoit what day it is then you’re peeing against a very strong wind.
Steve Bruce….not wanted or liked by us but probably a half decent bloke….get out before your family have to bury you…..

Comment #53Hibbit
Good evening Hibbit, i trust all is well with you and your family mate? I totally understand the fans anger and frustration with Bruce mate, but my main focus and anger has always been directed towards Ashley and Charnley, if those two
clowns weren`t at Newcastle, Bruce wouldn`t be at Newcastle as iam sure you would agree Hibbit.

Hi Bill, As Munster has been saying cricket wouldn`t be a popular game in Ireland, just as the GAA is not popular in England, and also as Mike Ashley is not popular in England Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and the Universe ๐ ๐

Comment #58I’m sure somebody out there could explain why women’s tennis is every bit as popular as men’s. Yet football, rugby, cricket is not, maybe because women themselves aren’t that interested in it.

Comment #60I watched the Edinburh derby today Hearts v Hibs, not a bad game even though it finished 0-0 Hibs are my team in Scotland, i would love to see some other team win the scottish premier league other than Celtic or Rangers as its not good for sport the same teams winning the league every year, in saying that it looks like the English premier league is heading the same way as realistically its turning into a 4 horse race, i know Leicester won it a few years ago, but we all know that was a one off and very very unlikely to be repeated in the lifetime of anybody on this blog.

Lol, I captained Antonio this week, he got a red, his minutes played and sending off resulted in a -1 score, but doubled up captaincy gave me a -2.
Congrats to Solano slice, but to be honest a lucky dip / auto pick would have beaten me.

Comment #74Magic, indeed, everything is gallows humour or despair when it comes to our club at the moment, but there is so much energy under the surface. I remember Arthur Cox, to me a proto Keegan, he got the club and knew what there is here, Keegan came as an opponent then a player and then manager because he too understood the pent up effervescence and enthusiasm that there is in the Geordie Nation.

Ive supported the Toon from i was a we boy of 7 mate, iam 67 now and not for one second have i ever regretted my choice all those years ago mate, Newcastle are still a very magical and special club, with the most passionate and loyal fan base in the land, just like every sane and intelligent fan i know we will always be a piss poor team as Long as Ashley is the owner, but he can`t take away our love for the club, and he certainly can`t take away our humour and our ability to to laugh, nice chatting with you Donk, i can`t recall if we have chatted previously, if we have perhaps iam going senile in my senior years Donk ๐ ๐
