Newcastle ended their three-game losing streak this afternoon with a 1-0 win over Brentford at home with the winner coming from Wilson with a penalty after 64 minutes.
While it certainly wasn’t pretty, the result in this game was more important than the performance, and our lads stuck to it to get our second win of the season.
Newcastle did not look good at all in the first half – but it was much better in the second, and this win will give our boys confidence going forward.
And 9 minutes of added time at the end was a little nerve-racking.
Indeed, in qn earlier game today, Spurs were losing 1-0 at home to Sheffield United before they scored two goals in the 20 minutes of added time to win 2-1 – what’s going on here?
We now have 6 points from 5 games – the same number of points as last season after 5 games.
And here is the photo we get with every win – the lads look very pleased!
🙂
Here are the video highlights of the game today from NBC Sports.
And in detail here is the penalty award that gave Newcastle all 3 points – dare I say this looks like a soft penalty for us?
But Callum has nerves of steel and it was an excellent penalty, under so much pressure.
And on merit Newcastle did deserve the points, but we were nowhere near our best.
Let us know who you think our Man of the Match was.

Comment #543I think the team pretty much picks itself, only query is Miggy or Barnes with a swap over from Gordon, can’t see Eddie trusting Barnes though. Will Callum start or will Eddie go for Isak, he praised Isak heavily in his pre-match so I think it will be Callum Wilson LOL.

Comment #547Watched Nadjs Tonali press conference.
YouTube has auto translate in the settings.
At the end Tonalis reasons for leaving aren’t clear. New opportunities was one. He mentions Realadrid, Barca. And testing himself.
We are one new test. But wether he stays that bit isn’t clear.
One thing that is very clear. English is a problem.

Comment #548Tof…He’s only been here a few months, so not sure his English is a problem exactly.
He mentioned players not having that much power over where they go and that it goes down to who wants you at a certain time. Do I think there are many players around their world waiting for Newcastle to call? Probably not yet, but they clearly can see the project and each and every player that has signed all goes on about how welcoming and professional the club are and how at all levels, new players are being made to feel welcomed and being helped in any way possible.
Tonali had a hard job last night. Balancing the emotions of his old and new club and their respective fans. I can see why people sensed something was off, but I think we need to be careful not to over analyze it and keep to the matter at hand.

Comment #549Assuming he’s picked, Tonight’s performance will let us know where his head is.
We know his heart is with AC, but if his head and professionalism are in the right place, things will be OK.

Comment #551NADJ,
I think that’s probably true of a lot of the younger, foreign lads we’ve brought in since the takeover tbh. I can see most of them eventually wanting to try their hand in Spain/Germany/Italy etc.
As long as they do the business while they are here and get us massive transfer fees that can be reinvested then I will be sad to see them go, but happy that we will come out of it stronger.
It’s one of those inevitable parts of the football industry. I can see Isak, Bruno and Tonali all leaving in the next two seasons for big money – I won’t be happy about it, but it’s just how it goes unfortunately.

Comment #552I’ve obviously missed something here and have only seen the Edfie H presser but is there something really off with Tonali’s interview?

Sep 19, 2023 at 9:26 AM
Comment #553Bob,
I think Tonali will be OK. I doubt we’ll see a performance along the lines of Butt playing against Man Utd not long after signing – that was comfortably one of the worst individual performances I’ve ever seen from any Newcastle player.

Comment #554I just really hope Tonali doesn’t get a horrible welcome back. Can imagine some Milan fans fuming that a boyhood fan left and booing him, which would feel awful for Tonali and could effect his performance. Hopefully most Milan fans will know he was basically forced out by their owner and sold.
I can’t wait for tonight, i’m absolutely buzzing for it! I think we can get out of our group, but even if not i’m just going to enjoy the whole experience 🙂

Comment #555Raj,
I’ve not seen Tonali’s interview tbf, I am just basing my opinion on the likelihood that these young, talented players from overseas are more likely to want to try their hands overseas at some of the monster sized clubs.
It would be odd for Tonali to be touting a move abroad a few months into his contract with us though 😀

I’d like to think a “welcome back” like you described would motivate him to be at his very best. Time will tell eh? 🙂

Comment #557JohnJ
I’m not so sure. He seems to really love Milan. Can you imagine going back to the place you love and they boo you? It would be heartbreaking.
So i’m hoping he gets a warm welcome instead 🙂

Comment #558Adam,
I think his performance will depend on his mentality. If I left my boyhood club and was booed on my return I think it would spur me on more than anything.
“Boo me, eh? Well fk the lot of you, watch this.”
