I stand corrected then - although I do recall that we were much better in the 2nd half after he had been subbed off playing Djuric and Abraham up front.
Yeah first half against Derby, second half against Rotherham. We did alright against Sheff Weds as well. There's not many to choose from but Tomlin has been absent for them.
The way I see it is the only way we can win this game is to keep a clean sheet. If we concede 1 we will concede 3. I've never seen a team's heads collectively drop so much after conceding goals. Finger crossed Newcastle get frustrated and start making errors.
I am hopeful. This team is much different to the one who blew it last time. Also, maybe (and it's a big maybe) we've finally learned from our mistakes. COYR!!
