Gaffbear 4,101 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Shane Ferguson is a great free kick taker.......remember what that was like??Add them to the squad for Sunday along with Gallacher and Murdoch and drop Foster,Black,Smith,Miller,McCulloch and Aird and bring Shiels,Temps and Clark into the equation too.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Have a look again, what do you think of Kyle huttons part in defending that throw in / cross ball ?He's taken a position inside the box about 5 yards from the apex, Smith, Wallace and Black are 10 yards closer to the play than he is so I don't know what your point is?

Hoosier Ranger 1,554 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Two out of the five will go straight into the team - Vuckic and Streete. The others will probably be in and around the side at some point this season..."Eh, what's the point then?Considering that we have games to make up and we need every point to catch Hearts, having quality depth will be crucial. Besides, after watching our midfield get destroyed on Sunday, I would not be surprised to see at two of those guys get solid minutes in the midfield.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I reckon if these guys come in we will be promoted in play offs.Get them in now and let them run at team's with pace and skill now.Do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getstiffed 8,863 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Agree re the three wide defenders, but if you watch McGregor, he was ball-watching. Griffiths danced around him, from side to front to in behind where the space was and where he got the header in. McGregor never had a clue where he was.I agree, that's what I said, he's got caught under the ball because he hasn't read the movement of Griffiths but if you watch it again Foster is tucked right in and shites it from the challenge. He fucken turns away from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains 588 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Loving the front page of Newcastle's website with the "sale" ad! I reckon we got a buy one get one free on midfielders and three for a pound on defenders! SD tactics..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, after watching our midfield get destroyed on Sunday, I would not be surprised to see at two of those guys get solid minutes in the midfield.If they can't get in ahead of Hutton, Law or Black, I wouldn't class them as quality Hopefully he's wrong.

It may not have been his man but the quick throw in caught smith and black out if position. and I'm certainly not defending that pairs contribution either.

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That being said, MacGregor did himself no favors with losing Griffiths on that first goal. Agreed but i don't think it would be fair to drop him, Darren has done alright up until that game so far for us, i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith, Wallace and Black are the ones out of position at that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fucken turns away from it.Yes, Foster was guilty of ball watching too.It's what I've often said about these players, they're average footballers who got lucky with an offer to play for us because of our predicament, under normal circumstances they'd never be near us. Playing in an OF game shows this up more than normal and no amount of coaching can make them think any quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnysidparto10 37 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I've been on to a few people regarding Streete all of which are Port Vale fans. All a bit vague really.He was on loan but only played two games and then was recalled. Played ok but hard to say from two appearances. I know that Port Vale attempted to take him on a loan again but failed, perhaps due to him coming to the Gers?He has been in the squad for a few league games at Newcastle but not featured.Does this warrant walking into the side? I've seen Ferguson play and was ok, just a bit lightweight.Vuckic I've heard is good from another mate who seen him play for Rotheram The rest?????

stuvah 146 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have been hearing some rumours that the boys have had pay rises offered to Join us and that it will cost us around £1 million between now and the end of the season to have them.sounds like a lot of shite to me personally but I was hoping any of you guys could shed come light on this.

sendintank 35 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I dont want to be negative here,but i seen Vukic playing once for Cardiff,he was subbed at half time!!I spoke to 2 mates today who follow Cardiff,one couldnt remember him at all,the other said,and i quote"he was one of those poncey players who wore gloves".I dont think he was overly impressed,said he played a handful of games and was sent packing.I really hope he is a player tho,we are desperate for talent right now.Ferguson seems ok,holds his own for Norn Iron,and it seems th CB was once a prospect,got to be better than Law,Black,McCulloch etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a whole lot better than a Newcastle reserve for 10K a week if we were paying for them, which hasn't been confirmed or denied.

stuvah 146 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If it sounds like shite then its probably shite! Say they are on 2.5k a week (just a guess but only young blokes so might vary) and we have them for 17 weeks then thats only £212k. Could be more or less but these are not big money players and effectively we are making a gamble on trying to bolster our promotion hopes because failing will cost us a lot more than the cost of these guys!!I agree it probably is shite and their wages won't be sky high but it is common practice these days to pay loan fees and that might be what takes it up.as stated only rumours and most likely started by bheasts but if there is a kernel of truth I would like to know.
