532 ?? That would need our best fullbacks fit to remotely work, they're not and haven't been, hence our struggles. Losing one would be unlucky, but losing both long term has been a disaster. When fit I reckon 433 will be fine and 532 a viable option. Effectiveness of either needs the FB's back IMO.

It's madness IMO. Some fans have the memories of goldfish and the needs of Veruca Salt.

If we're fully fit at fullback in particular, it'd be ok by me.

Totally agree, the loss of both our preferred fullbacks and what they bring to the table has affected us massively especially in our wing play. Woltemade (our top scorer) is not the main problem IMO.

Exactly, we've been here before "Robson out" gave us Souness, we've also done the big name replacement with Keegan by Dalgliesh.
Eddie's record is unbeatable in my lifetime. He gets this season (at least) to sort it.
Patience is a virtue a thing that sadly current fans/society don't possess.

Quite right the council knocked that back, they are paid by the people of Newcastle who I am sure can think of many better things to spend their money on 👍

How does the manager only get 5?? Team won, clean sheet, lost his back up striker before kick off and he doesn't kick the ball or misplace passes 🤷♂️

We'll see what he's like when Tino/Hall are back, the lack of any real threat/support from his FB cannot be understated IMO. Defenders only need to consider him just now.
