We have a real chance of moving up the league on Fri if we can beat Coventry,good incentive if we take another 3 points and we climb above our neighbours big carrot that would be,interesting if Jack is brought back into the Team

Fingers crossed GB. I can't wait for the game and hope the team shows the same impetus as the two against Newcastle and taking the game to the opposition.
Last night was the first time since Moyes has been at the club that we got at the opposition from the first minute instead 'getting through the first 20 minutes'. The amount of goals we concede in the first 15 mins in each half is annoying.
I'll still probably have a moan about the team selection beforehand but if the result is a win I'll gladly put my elasticated waist banded pants on and munch on that humble pie again.
Long may it continue. let's back the lads and see where it gets us.

It's a bit like watching the tide go in and out on here at times. One week Moyes is rubbish and the players are all crap, next week Moyes is the messiah and all the players are wonderful.
Think it's more a case of we are not good enough to beat the top teams, but are good enough to beat the bottom teams. So we are by definition a mid table team. Yes GB I know we are high up in the league right now but that will even out over the season.
Mid table and a cup would be acceptable right now I would think.

I agree to an extent BB, although I feel that it's more the case that some say he is doing a decent job with what he has (not saying he's the Messiah) and others are calling for his head weekly. I don't know how many managers would have us in the position we're in with the squad we have.
That should be applauded in my opinion. We will lose games, doesn't have to be the end of the World when we do. Still a lot of improving to do.

It's not acceptable to me mate. It's a possibility but not acceptable. The owners and the recruitment team need to step up in January and get us a striker, a right-back and left-back and Europe is a more than possible. Yes a cup would be great also.

Win a cup and I could stomach mid table too.
Want to see us win something more than I do see us finish just high enough to get into some Europe an comp nobody's heard of.
I want to go to WEMBLEY again!

Honestly, I'd take bottom half and even 17th if we won a cup!
I know I'm not as old as some of you on here!🤣🤣🤣 but, I was 18 when we last won something and I'm 50 in January. It's well overdue.

I think he's taken us as far as he can with the Team he picks week in and week out, next couple of games are very winnable and we could make it to 4 th depending on results, we finish mid table or less I will be disappointed I want at least top 10, as you rightly said we can beat the crap teams and bottom lot:but when it comes to the so called big boys then I think that's where DM is poor with his selection use of subs etc etc, he always sets out to defend for 80 mins and try to win on the break, would like to see more of the newbies myself.

03 Nov 2026 13:37:59
Agree with what you say about him taking us as far as he can GB.
But let's be honest here, we've had an easy start to the season and should have won more. Bournemouth were struggling when we played them, Spurs were awful when we played them and couldn't keep a clean sheet and by all accounts it could be worse, we could support United, yet we couldn't beat them.
I get that we didn't lose any of the games I've mentioned but the approach of playing for a draw, is just depressing.

Sorry gang, but this season, with what we spent, top half would be a fantastic outcome. A cup final would be an unexpected cherry on top. Makings of a good squad though, and more reasons to be positive than we usually mention. In my opinion of course.

Alright lads, well what can I say it was a good win in the end. But to be honest I’m never comfortable when we go one up then sit back, would have liked to have seen a couple of subs a little earlier as after a hard shift a few were getting a little leggy and we very nearly let them back into it near the end. Should we have scored more probably, but a solid performance by all. Pickford song at the end was class just having a little dig at the Geordies there.
Cold night and long drive but nice to travel home happy for once.

Well done son wish I was still young enough to make a trip like that. Get what you mean about subs, but we all know by now that's not the managers way. He likes to shred our nerves a bit does old Davey boy.

Still don't think we were amazing tonight from a footballing perspective but our shape was absolutely brilliant for most of the game. I think it was more case that Newcastle were just utter sh**e again.
Hopefully we can see Coventry off at home and that will put us close to the CL spots before the International break. Some tough games after that but if we can stick in and amongst it for the transfer window, then we can look to strengthen and look an attractive proposition for potential newcomers.
Still think it is criminal that things are not freshened up at 60/70 mins. A better side punishes us tonight. The game has moved on. He needs to realise that the bench needs to be utilised more.
Think it was a penalty on Barry personally. Schar came through the back of him. Not sure why it was reviewed and waved away so rapidly.
Tarks should have ragdolled Hall tonight. Btw, one of the most overrated players in the PL. Everytime I watch him I don't understand the hype.
Mykolenko was brilliant tonight and if I am saying that, he must have been. Solid in everything he did. Between him and Tarks for man of the match for me.
Another learning curve for Barry tonight. Seemed to come into it physically in the 2nd half. He needs to develop more of that nasty streak to kick on.

Miko was brilliant last night along with tarky but our best player on the pitch was kdh he was everywhere never stopped running seems to have gained an extra yard of pace class act.

Im sorry but that is utter rubbish BN, another supporter who just wants to be negative on every post, I see again all the supporters who were slating moyes and the players before the match haven't commented apaprts from one who had the balls to say, I was wrong, its a joke and a lot of you are becoming like a stuck record, just moan moan moan before a ball is kicked, if we lose this site is full up of negativity, soon as we win those fans crawl back down there holes and nothing, for me a great win, enjoyed the game and we are up to 7th, we'll done moyes and the players.

The work rate, desire and organisation as a whole team was fantastic. That is a team who are playing for the manager and each other. We cannot expect to be playing Brazil 70 style football with the squad we have. We counter attacked very effectively and could/should have scored more goals. We can only hope we stay clear of injury and get another striker in January.

03 Nov 2026 07:42:32
Can only beat who we are playing mate, Newcastle were poor but who cares move on to the next game, not going to win 3-0 every time thought the lads played well myself.

JB I've the Brazil 70's comparison. I swear some folk think we are Real Madrid. A BN i absolutely agree.
Gritty win, clean sheet, Barry scored again and up to 7th in a very congested table. Only 4 points between 5th and.

They were poor but could have been 2 up, Everton played well some good blocks by both sides and some bad misses from both. I was miffed a bit with Moyes selection but the when you see the size of Newcastle O'Brien made sense and he was goid and Ruhls engine and speed was goid thinking.

How is what I posted being negative? I said that we weren't amazing from a footballing perspective, because I didn't think we were but applauded our defensive setup and shape. I also said that Newcastle were sh**e again, because they were.
I then pointed to the positive position we could find ourselves in come the window.
Raising the fact that we did not freshen things up is a valid point. Every single side utilises their bench in this league now, apart from us. You can't tell me that the likes of Rohl and Armstrong had ran themselves into the ground and bringing somebody in like Hackney, who everyone was speaking highly of a couple of days before, couldn't have helped the team.
In the last quarter of the game we were under a lot of pressure and the fresh legs could have helped.
Applauded Tarks and Myko and didn't criticise or compliment Barry.
If you think that is a negative post and a moan rather than a simple observation of the game, you are deluded.
Please tell me the other posts where I am negative, because you must be confusing me with another poster.
Finally, who exactly are you to tell me what I can and cannot post on a fans forum?
I never even posted before the game.
Some could say that the posters who start blowing smoke after 3 points are as bad as the serial moaners. It depends which way you cut it. Personally, I am a realist and prefer to say what I see.
Yes, it was a great win at a tough place to go, that doesn't mean I have to delude myself and go over the top. I said enough positives in my post, whilst still pointing out that the lack of changes and retreat towards the end could have cost us, had Newcastle had anything about them.
02 Nov 2026 23:13:11
Good performance but given our small squad would have liked to see changes made a little earlier. We simply can’t afford to burn the likes of KDH, Armstrong out. But three points and we push on.
0
02 Nov 2026 23:38:23
Absolutely on the money BMD.
They could have equalised tonight very easily. They put 4/5 fresh legs on. 50% of their side with fresh impetus. Absolutely no reason why we shouldn't have chucked Alcaraz, Dibling and/or Norgaard on mate.

03 Nov 2026 06:41:23
If Moyes puts them on; and they're at fault for an equaliser, you'd be calling for his head.

Delighted with the 3 points. They are absolute muck though, what a ridiculously easy game at St James.
Barry might not be a reliable finisher, but he's ALWAYS in the right spot, hence why he keeps scoring 2 yard tap ins. Not convinced its just luck.
Wish Tarky had of launched Hall though. My only disappointment from the game.. awful challenge on Armstrong and we let their lads grab him multiple times when injured.
COYB, big game Fri!

It was a great win, Dewsbury-Hall was back to his best form of last year. We are lucky to have two great talents in Armstrong and Hackney. Both young and can only improve with experience. The defense was great, another game with no goals scored against us and pleased to see O'Brien back in the team. Bring on Coventry.

03 Nov 2026 08:30:14
Agree Mike we do have a lot of young talent at the club and we are going to need all of them if we are to have any success this season.
02 Nov 2026 22:05:46
Everton strip on at work tomorrow in Newcastle - can’t wait.
Good first half - 2nd cagey - Barry is going to end up with 20+ goals this season (somehow) - he should be in about 15 but i thinks it’s 8 now - best return since Lakaku

That was my point, but apparently that's what some on here believe that's how we play. Unfortunately sarcasm doesn't always translate. Anyway team selection that negated everything Newcastle tried to do and meant Hall and Barnes couldn't run rampant down our right because of Merlin's pace and Jake's strength and Jimmy outplaying Joelinton and Harrison being everywhere else.
Particular mention for Mykolenko who had Elanga in his pocket
