Sounds like they put in a shift today

 

[BRISTOL86]

Focussing on the positives tonight. A very good point despite the lead. 

Considerably better sides than us have been thumped there this season. 

Well done City. 

[Dan Robin]

Phew!

A good point and maybe...a new beginning?

Utter rubbish.  You should be ashamed.  Is that really the best you can do?

Well I wonder whether Cardiff would have let a 2 goal lead slip?.

Game management is part of the and a part of the game we have been lacking in since Sheff Weds away.

[Gert Mare]

In fairness nobody in their right mind would have expected us to get anything out of today's game. Well done lads and well done LJ. Credit where credit is due.

Anyone else just have a heart attack with Jeff Stelling saying;

"There's a late goal at St James Park!"

despite knowing that our game was over?

typing this from the ambulance Fordy 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Leandro Bacuna sent off late on for Villa. He any good as he`ll miss Tuesday now?

[Show Me The Money!]

I'm still in the moving LJ camp bit you have to take your hats off for getting a point there despite losing another 2 nil lead.

Well done LJ and the lads

**** the haters, well done to LJ and the team for a great point, regardless of conceding two in the second half. COYR

Wish I would of put **** the happy clappers now on Wednesday when your silence was deafening

Really?  We take a 2-0 lead against the top side in the division at all their place, and come out with a 2-2 draw, and you can't be pleased?  Tragic.

No. I can't. It's like being selected to be on who wants to be a millionaire and then getting the first question wrong. 

"It's ok, at least you got on!"

yeh. Cheers. 

[Numero Uno]

Yep, good point whatever the circumstances as Newcastle are streets ahead of us. Won't change my opinion of Johnson.....that was cemented watching abject defeats at home to Brentford, Preston, Cardiff, Reading and Fulham, losing at Wolves/Forest and surrendering that lead at Derby. Those are the games that see us where we are instead of being comfortable.

[Nogbad the Bad]

Flint had a storming game, Rafa added to his list of admirers no doubt.

Agree with that....

 

Except the first 3 words 

[Major Isewater]

We need six wins to be safe .

It appears that the lads are still playing for the coach ( or the new one ) 

Shame we didn't hang on but full credit to LJ and the boys for standing up to the League leaders in front of fifty odd thousand Geordies .

Huge up to all the City fans who made the trip .

Apparently shit. 

My Villa mates saying how indicative of how shit they are that he started today.

And that's why LJ said he would pick those he could trust.  Therefore the divided dressing room, players not playing for the manager, sad saga continues - and will until LJ goes.

I think you are right. Against derby i was angry with a point but im happy with that today even if we had a 2 goal lead. Lets hope LJ has found a group of players he can trust and stop chopping and changing every 5 mins. A good performace at villa and must win v burton and maybe he has a future here. He has to build on this though.

Yes very different from the Derby game, but don't know about the future with LJ. Still not hopeful unless the Fulham game has made something click in his head about needing to send a team out with fire in their bellies and a never say die attitude. Otherwise I think we're ******. 

[Red white and red]

Decent point. No praise going to LJ as he showed how tactically naive he is again by changing formation so we concede. 

He has to go.

Great point, but yet again LJ shows he has no idea about game management... how many times have we let slip winning by 2 goals now?

The "game management" was in the first half energy and hussling, which helped us get 2 ahead. I think, in the circumstances, that is pretty good going for LJ, and to his credit. We need to see more of it, though, against the lesser sides, and then good things might happen more often

[The Coach]

Well done Pembo and team

I think if this was an isolated incident you would have a point but Sheff Weds, Reading, Cardiff, Derby, Barnsley, Wolves and today, that's tragic.

Not conceding a third was massive IMHO

A loss would have finished us I would think

Absolutely spot on . Gives all a bit of hope. And I will take that .

[Jack Dawe]

Pleased with a point. Gutted it wasnt 3. Fans were class. We (do) go on (a bit)

[Alessandro]

Good point against the top team with plenty of premier league quality.

Newcastle had won 11 of their 16 homes games this season, so that result will give the team plenty of confidence.

 

[finbarr_in_z]

Anyone know what the bookies had for HT0-2, FT2-2?

I'm happy with this result but it's another 2 goal lead given away and we need 3 point games, not 1 here and there. It would be a great result if the last 16 out of 17 hasn't been so poor.

Not sure fell apart. Out played maybe, but battling until the end.

Well, that was my daughter's view at the match...but in fairness she's not seen us for a while, and probably thought our second half performance would match the first...the two never seem to match up. Pleased with a draw in the end. Said that the atmosphere was great.
