A decent start to the season so far lets hope can go on another run like last year

[Blatter]

We faltered a bit yesterday. Bong had a howler and Stockade had to be accountable for Reading's first goal.

It's the first game that I've seen this season and it does seem as though we're carrying on where we left off last term. Let's hope that it lasts.

Big game next Saturday against the Toon, who finally seem to have got their season going. (Shame we couldn't have played them a couple of weeks ago.........)

Dont think we are playing as well as we can atm but sitting nicely in 3rd so cant complain

I was at both games last week and after the abysmal match against Reading, Saturday's performance against Barnsley was very good. Even Bong had a decent game. We kept Barnsley quiet and prevented their "trademark" breakaway goals and even managed to score one ourselves. Our first goal was an excellent example of how to score on the counter-attack.

Another tough test tonight at Ipswich given that we'll be missing Kayal. Let's hope that CH comes up with a suitable mid-field partner for Stephens. Not sure which of Norwood or Siddy is going to be best?

[V8BHA]

Well that was frustrating yesterday conceding to an average team in the 92nd minute and they were down to 10 men! These are the sort of games that cost us every season and the diff of getting promoted or not

[Blatter]

At the risk of being accused of; "You only sing when you're winning", what a great result that was this afternoon.

Just a shame that I'm 4500 miles away and not able to be at the Amex.........

[V8BHA]

yes a great result against one of the best teams i reckon! Good to keep another clean sheet aswell
hopefully will be a good game against bristol city and get at least a point

[Blatter]

Looking forward to Friday now that I'm back home. Should be a good game, with a big crowd. Let's hope that we can keep the momentum of the last few weeks going and bag another three points.

[V8BHA]

A bit below par last couple of games but will take the 4 points and a nice surprise at Newcastle losing at home

[Blatter]

Yes, first half on Saturday Fulham played well and pushed up on us to stop us playing. Hoots must have had a good half time talk because we were much better in the second half. Great goal from Baldock and a well worked second goal from Murray (made by Baldock).

Once again this Saturday, the Championship proves that any team can beat any other team and no one can afford to be complacent.

Well, Leeds didn't do themselves any favours tonight, with getting their two central defenders booked early on and then the sending off. After that it was only going to go one way.

Although it'll only be short-lived until the Toon play tomorrow; "We are top of the league"

UTA

[Blatter]

Top of the League again tonight.

Mind you, we certainly shouldn't have conceded a second goal.

Good to see Murray getting his first away goal of the season. Let's hope it's not the last.

[Blatter]

Starting 2017 as we hope to carry on - Top of the League

Mind you, the Toon must be mightily frustrated after throwing everything at Blackburn and then letting in a set-piece goal.

[Black can man]

Great win today chaps as well as Newcastle slipping up.



Really do hope you get promotion this year .

[toon tvr]

Congrats to Chris Hughton he's a top bloke!
Looks like the stats are favouring you guys, just hope we can hang on to 2nd.

[Blatter]

Still a long way to go yet. Let's hope that we don't choke before the fat lady sings..........

Hoots has built a tremendous team spirit in the time he's been there and I believe that will carry us through. The team want it for themselves, Hoots and the fans.

Having the Cardiff game postponed isn't going to help us as it's going to be a bugger fitting that in to the schedule. Plus, our home game against the Toon, scheduled for FA Cup 4th round day, is also likely to be postponed as I don't see both of us getting knocked out in the 3rd round games on Saturday.

Kiss of death there, then...........

[Blatter]

Good win last night against "massive" Wednesday.

Thought it was curtains when they were awarded the penalty and Murray was sent off. Reckoned without Stocko and the team spirit. Great team performance and makes up for the disappointment of travelling up to Preston last Saturday to get dicked 0-2.

Cardiff on Tuesday. Let's hope there's no fog this time. I don't fancy another 300 mile round-trip to not watch a game...........

[Blatter]

Not a good day at the office on Saturday, although the trip to Lincoln was good fun.

Should have had the game sewn up in the first half, but didn't.

Then a penalty, an own goal and a gift saw Lincoln on their way!

Good luck to them in the next round. I hope they get a good draw.

Im hoping we do too!

Taking away the penalty, we still deserved to win, your only threat was Murray but as soon as he got clocked by the ref for being a dirty git he wasnt throwing himself at the floor or our boys.......

Wasnt the dirtiest git on pitch though, your boy Adekugbe goes down as one of the dirtiest players ive seen at the bank in many a year

[V8BHA]

Not long to go hopefully be promoted sooner rather than later! Hope we go for it tonight against QPR and not for a boring draw and end up losing! I feel when we start off strong we win our games and when start slowly we struggle.
