We seem to do that at this level. The last 3 or 4 seasons its been the same. Odd to say the least.

Well, today it's due to Wilson's illness. I quite like seeing people played out of position from time to time at this level, part of the learning curve.
 
0-0 HT

We're handsomely the better team but we've yet to test their 'keeper.

This pitch reminds me of Will Keane's brilliant performance 2 years ago, one of the best performances I've seen at this level. If memory serves, and I think it does, De Laet came on as a forward in the second half and went on a few mazy, Romarioesque runs.
 
Lots of possession today but nothing to show for it. Haven't Newcastle conceded a lot of goals with year at this level? Need to create more chances in the final third a bit more precision with our final ball is needed. Perhaps thats the due to the absence of Wilson.
 
Terrible refereeing I don't know how bigirimana stayed on the pitch
 
1-0 FT

We were the tidier team but struggled to create without a proper striker. Pearson probably our best player on the night.
 
I watched the last 30 mins last night. Surely it is counter-productive to a players development to NOT have a natural striker playing. How is it benefiting the midfielders?

I don't know what the answer is though. Sign a player on loan???
