Preview: Newcastle Utd vs Blackburn Rovers

I know I'm being negative and I apologise for that it's just I'm seeing a pattern on how teams are beating us, when they sit back and wait patiently is when we struggle and it does concern me a little

What? We rarely get beaten.

highest scorers in the league, only failed to score in 3 games, only lost 4. think we're doing alright tbh

We'll still go up automatically, everyone has off days.

Agree. Also remember we play Hull in the cup on Tuesday night then we plat Forrest on Friday night so I'm sure Rafa had this in mind when selecting the team.

It was a s**** game, especially first half. I was expecting us to get beat and don't really care too much. We'll still win the league but the odd loss every now and again will keep us grounded.

We play on Tuesday and Friday as well. We needed to make changes and the Hull game is by far the most important this week.

I've not seen any highlights yet but was it a back pass. I was at the other end of the ground but it certainly looked like it. Should have been a red for the Blackburn keeper.

Also we could have had a pen when Mitro was elbowed in the face though the handball pen shout definitely wasn't a pen.

Second half, especially late on, we had plenty of good chances. On another day we would have buried at least two or three if those. It just wasn't our day.

It was a clear back pass from where I was. Keeper doesn't get a red for picking up a back pass tho.

He played it with his knee so not a backpass, ref was absolutely correct.

Didn't see that from where I was.

On another matter, the time wasting from their keeper for the entire match was a joke.
