Clueless
Newcastle 0 Aston Villa 1
Newcastle may have unveiled a new version of The Blaydon Races
before kick-off on Saturday, but there weren't many smiling faces at
St.James' Park by the full time whistle.
Matthias Jaissle lost on home soil for the first time thanks to a
display from his side that bordered on the inept and was greeted by
a chorus of boos at half and full time.
The only goal of the game came from Johan Manzambi, who rejected a
move to Tyneside in the summer in favour of Villa and was left
unattended in the United box to nod home a Joao Gomes cross on 36
minutes.
United's most dangerous moment came early in the second half from
the boot of Sven Botman, but unlike Monday's effort, he failed to
find a way past 'keeper Zion Suzuki.
Making one change to the side that started at Coventry, Joelinton
returned to captain the side from central midfield, Jacob Murphy
making way for Matias Fernandez-Pardo on the right and Yoane Wissa
fielded at centre forward.
The ineffectiveness of that formation saw replacements warming up
after half time; Bazoumana Toure and Will Osula both introduced
barely ten minutes after the restart.
The tempo and frequency of United's attacks increased, but the
quality of crossing remained uniformly poor with nothing remotely
troubling Suzuki as the minutes ticked away and our efforts became
desperate.
A team lacking any poise or coherence ended up with Dan Burn leading
the attack once again, trying in vain to trouble a Villa side who
needed to be no more than workmanlike to take all three points and
could have added to their tally.
Buendia's 39th minute shot hit a post and almost bounced back into
the goal via the unwitting Hornicek; the 'keeper then denying
substitute Ross Barkley in the 74th minute.
By contrast, Newcastle never really looked like scoring but seemed
set to concede every time that Villa attacked.
Jaissle may have spoken about his players needing to show a reaction
in this game, but like his selections and tactics, the gap between
aspiration and reality at present is visible. The reaction was
insipid, the effort misplaced, the spark missing.
To our eyes there is a credibility issue with this coach and his
players; a paying audience largely unconvinced by what they've seen
and heard thus far this season.

Matthias Jaissle said:
"It was a game where we were
dominating. Overall I thought I was seeing a team giving a response.
"We had many situations where
you saw that we were going to win that game and then we conceded a
goal.
"We also need to be honest. We
were shaky until half-time but then after that we showed a good
response after half time.
"The second 45 minutes were
again really aggressive. We won the important duels. Unfortunately
we were just not smart enough in our decision making in the final
third so that is something we need to improve.
"There were many occasions where
we didn't find the right pass. Sometimes not the right timing. These
things need to be combined pretty soon to be more efficient.
"I think the structure and discipline was good but not all the time,
and in the Premier League against a strong opponent one occasion is
enough to concede a goal and that was too easy - losing a man in the
box, we need to put pressure on the cross.
"Again, we need to be more efficient offensive-wise."
On negative reaction from home fans:
"For sure, they wished for another result. That’s their right. They
all come here to celebrate three points. We couldn’t deliver that
today.”

Stats:
Newcastle set an unwanted all-time club record of 16 home
games without a clean sheet in all competitions since the 3-0
Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven in January.
In Premier League games only at SJP, this was United's 13th
failure to register a shutout since a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in
January. That matches their previous worst run, set between December
1998 and September 1999.
Joe Willock clocked up his 150th PL game for Newcastle,
Harvey Barnes made his 50th PL start and Lewis Miley reached
50 starts in league and cup games.

U18s:
Clarets uncorked
Newcastle U18s 3 Burnley U18s 0
It's now six wins from their opening seven league games for United's
youngsters, who convincingly beat Burnley at Little Benton on
Saturday lunchtime.
Newcastle went ahead midway through the opening period when Jayden
Kouossu's strong run from his own half set up Alfie Seldon to fire
home from inside the box.
A fine solo strike from Sam Alabi on the stroke of half time doubled
the lead before Alfie Hutchison outwitted visiting goalkeeper Callum
Feeney on 74 minutes and fired into an empty net.
Feeney tripped Hutchison five minutes later at the cost of a
penalty, but blocked the striker's spot kick.
With leaders Manchester City not in action on Saturday, Chris
Moore's Magpies ended the day level with them on points, but with an
inferior goal difference of three.
Team: Mair, Patterson (Healy-Matthews 62), Skelton, Boothe,
Moran, Gilligan (Old 62), Pinnington (Callaghan 46), Alabi (Ghanem

Carabao Cup:
Everton (a)
Newcastle are in Carabao Cup Fourth Round action on Thursday
week, October 29th against the Toffees at Hill Dickinson Stadium -
their second-ever visit, following a 4-1 Premier League success
there last season.
It's a 7.45pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports+. If
the scores are level after 90 minutes the tie will settled on
penalties.
The Magpies will be backed by 7,732 supporters.
This will be only the second time that
these two sides have
met in the League Cup; the first seeing them share six goals at Gallowgate in
the Third
Round during 2002 before Everton advanced in the penalty shootout
that followed.
This pairing means that the Toffees and Magpies will face each other at
least four times this season: Everton winning a pre-season kickabout
3-1 at Murrayfield in August.
Following the Premier League home meeting in November, United return to merseyside
in the PL next February.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |
|
18th October |

Born Or Died:
1991 Greg McDermott born, Liverpool.
(2008-12)
Central midfielder and younger brother
of Neale - alongside whom he occasionally sat on
United's first team bench with dad Terry (and
Kevin Keegan) during the 1990s.
Coming through the Academy ranks, Greg made his
Reserve team bow from as a substitute in a 2-1 victory
over the mackems at Eppleton in January 2009.
His first goal at that level then came away to
Huddersfield the following September - in front of
his dad, who was watching as part of his Terriers'
assistant boss role.
Greg was released by United in Summer 2012 and had
trials at Hartlepool United, Doncaster Rovers and
Burton Albion.
However, a broken wrist sustained during a
pre-season game for the Brewers in August of that
year put McDermott's hopes of a deal with the League
Two side on ice.
And having recovered from that blow, his second
trial at Burton in October 2012 also ended
prematurely when he picked up an injury after
scoring during a reserve game against Grimsby Town.
Greg next popped up for a trial at
Newcastle Jets in Australia, before spells at
Stockport County and Bury, although he failed to
appear at senior level for the Shakers.
By January 2014 he'd appeared on trial at Gateshead
but again injury disrupted his hopes of gaining a
permanent contract and he was sidelined by an ankle
problem.
A further tryout with the Tynesiders was more
successful though, Greg agreeing a permanent
contract at the International Stadium ahead of the
2014/15 season.
Making just one competitive appearance
before being released, he later returned to take up a role at
Newcastle's Academy, later moving on to assisting the first
team.

The conversion of Jackie Milburn from right wing to
centre of the attack took place here at Gigg Lane.
After the sale of Charlie Wayman to Southampton,
Milburn took the number nine shirt and proceeded to
score a hat-trick.
However, it was against stand-in 'keeper Harry Catterick,
filling in for George Bradshaw who had broken his leg
early in the game. Thems is the breaks....
 1947
Meanwhile, the reserves were in action against their Aston
Villa counterparts at SJP.
A 4-2 home win featured goals from Thomas Thompson, Albert
Sibley, Andrew Donaldson and George Hair.

Robledo opened the scoring for United after just
twelve seconds. Charlton's first half equaliser came after
Lock's 60-yard free-kick bounced in, although there was a
suspicion that the last touch was via Fenton's hand.

The Magpies played in this Monday night kickabout
under the new Belle Vue floodlights, just days after signing
defender Bill Paterson from
Rovers.
He captained United against his former club but couldn't
prevent reserve 'keeper Ron Anderson from having a night
to forget - and conceding to 15 year-old Alick Jeffrey.
Team:
Anderson, Cowell, McMichael, Scoular, Paterson, Crowe,
Milburn, Broadis, White, Curry, Mitchell.

to turn in the box and meet John McGuigan's header with a
superb rising first-time shot with his right boot.

Ahead early on
through a typical close range finish from Supermac, United
were pegged back just on half time.
The Canaries had no answer to the home side's
attacking threat after the break though, Alan Gowling
quickly netting from an acute angle at the Leazes End.
Gowling headed another and Mac muscled his way through
for 4-1 before Ted McDougall nodded home to reduce the
arrears.
Newcastle had the last word though, Mac sprinting down the
left and whipping over a low centre that David Jones slid
deflected past his own 'keeper at the near post.

 1976
One-time mackem Messiah Bob Stokoe was forced to resign as
their manager, following abuse from disgruntled Rokerites
who had seen their team fail to win in nine league games.
However, Stokoe's place in wearside affections was
restored following his death in 2004, when a public
collection raised £73K to erect a statue in his honour
outside the stadium of plight.

Chris, scored the winner. Remembered here.

A fourth home league defeat from the first six played

Jackson, who came off the bench to replace goalscorer Ian
Stewart

Armstrong(70)

The goal that launched a thousand postcards, a million
Magpie memories and one excellent soundbite.
"I fancy Liam O'Brien over the wall" said
Lennie Lawrence, seconds before the Dubliner wrote
his name across Geordie hearts and caused one almighty
celebration on the Roker End among joyous United fans.
Gary Owers put through his own goal for the first, Gordon
Armstrong equalised. Cue Liam, leaving Tim Carter
flat-footed to give United a record-breaking 11th
successive win.

United repeated the custom of the previous Fairs Cup
era by wearing their away strip for this game - an Asics
all blue affair.
Three goals to the good and with the crowd in jubilant
mood, the team however allowed their concentration to slip
and conceded two costly goals in the closing stages.
A certain local newspaper hack later blamed fans for their
excessive celebrations and indulging in a Mexican wave
that distracted the Newcastle players.

One of the few occasions the blue, green and orange
away kit got an airing. A dreadful performance by United
as goals from Ribeiro, Kewell, Wetherall and a Beresford
own goal saw them well beaten.
Man of the Match for us was the-then Bolton player, Robbie
Elliott, who limped into the away end on crutches to cheer
the lads on.

Ameobi(21)

A far from convincing win, but United rode their luck
to claim three precious points that rocketed them seven
places up the table, to 11th.
Shola Ameobi netted the only goal, but at the other end Shay
Given's display was as important in the victory.
A classic example of Alan Shearer running down the clock
by taking the ball to the corner flag provoked mild-mannered Gareth Southgate
into a lunging tackle for which he was booked.

2008 Having bagged a brace in his last game
against Leeds United, Nile Ranger went one better with a
hat-trick as the U18s beat Barnsley 3-1 at Little
Benton.
2009 Some
quotes from Mike Ashley akin to deranged world domination rantings of a James Bond
film baddie
appeared in the Sunday Times:
"I have to put £20m a year into the club — I spend
more than every other fan put together puts into the club
each year. If you can’t pay up front to buy the club,
you can’t afford it.
"Chris (Hughton)
deserves a shot at the title — he has done a great job.
But if I keep the club I will have the final say on
players. I am the one who has to fund the club.
“Of course I regret
it (buying the club). I never said I was an expert
in football clubs. I tried my best. But I accept my best
was woefully short.”
2011 Newcastle reserves beat Liverpool 3-2 at
Whitley Park thanks to goals from Nile Ranger (2) and
Michael Richardson.
Coach Willie Donachie took charge for the first time

dugout) as the second string extended their unbeaten start
