Huddersfield
Town 0 Newcastle 1
Salomon Rondon's 55th minute
strike was enough to defeat
relegation rivals Huddersfield at
a dark, cold and wet John Smith's Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Venezuelan striker latched on to Javier Manquillo's
through ball after a flowing four man move that began with Martin Dubravka and
beat goalkeeper Jonas Lossl before celebrating with team mates and away fans.
Further goals could have followed; Ayoze Perez harshly given offside when
lobbing Lossl ten minutes later and substitute Matt Ritchie spurning a glorious
shooting opportunity in the closing minutes of normal time.
However the home side never looked like getting back into the game once behind
and have now scored just three goals in nine home games so far this season.
Aside from one exemplary intervention by Dubravka to tip over Philip Billing's
35 yard effort, the main danger had come from stadium floodlights that blinked twice in the first half but thankfully
they remained illuminated.
Presumably someone behind the scenes had accidentally put them
onto their yuletide flashing setting - a power surge or whatever also
resetting the stadium clock.
Appearing in their red and blue change kit for the first time in a competitive
game, the Magpies were without the suspended DeAndre Yedlin and injured
Federico Fernandez, while Matt Ritchie dropped to the bench.
Again deploying a three man central defence, United struggled to maintain
possession on a slick pitch, with Kenedy particularly wasteful in the early
stages.
Christian Atsu and Fabian Schar both proved unable to beat Lossl from
Newcastle's only two chances of the opening period while home fans grew
quieter as their side's best raids were correctly foiled by offside calls.
It always looked like one goal would settle this contest - as it had in both
meetings last
season - and after Lossl denied Atsu again on 53 minutes, Rondon made no mistake to claim his
fourth Premier League goal of the season from by far the best move of the
match.
Five minutes later Dubravka denied Chris Lowe with a worthy block, but from that
moment onwards United defended their lead without much concern to secure
their second away win of the season.
Unbeaten on the road in four games since the 2-3 loss at Old Trafford in
October, Rafa's side took points from visits to Southampton and Everton in
addition to the victories at Burnley and now Huddersfield - our best Premier
League away form since back in 2012.
It moved us back up to 14th but more importantly six points clear of the
Terriers, who remain third bottom
ahead of Southampton's fixture on Sunday.
Propping up the table after losing at home to West Ham are Fulham, our opponents
at Gallowgate on Saturday - and a prime opportunity to address our home form
that remains markedly inferior to that away from Tyneside.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Dubravka, Manquillo, Schar, Lascelles, Clark, Kenedy (Dummett
89), Diame, Ki (Hayden 72), Atsu, Perez, Rondon (Ritchie 81).

Crowd: 24,036 including 2,400 joyous away fans who were still belting out a
rousing rendition of "Who's that team they call United..." well after
the final whistle.
The Toon contingent had been in festive mood earlier, their versions of "Hark
The Herald Angels Sing" and "Jingle Bells" along
with Wham's "Last Christmas" - the "someone
special" line becoming "Rafa Benitez."
Huddling up - scoring celebrations at the John Smith's
Rafa:
"It was a really important for us,
and them, so to get three points here in the way that we did, with a big
effort from every player, is always something you have to be satisfied with.
"Against a team so close to us in the table, and to get three points, it
was a good achievement. This group of players deserves credit and today they
came together and worked hard.
"The pitch was very fast with the rain and we needed to be precise with
passing the ball but they were on top of us and we didn't have the control.
"We adjusted a bit in the second half and I said that with two or three
passes we can get in behind - that's what happened.
"We gave the ball away a little bit in the first half, but in the second
half we were better organised. The idea was to exploit them on the
counter-attack and exploit the space behind them.
"(Isaac) Hayden did well because we needed some legs - we were a
little bit tired - and the second ball could help them sustain their attacks
so we needed to make sure that we could press.
"He was not playing too many games so to come here and do well - (I
am) really pleased with that.
"The main thing for strikers is to create chances for them. In this case,
he (Rondon) is working really hard for the team.
"We had to adjust the shape of the team at half-time, and we had more
control in the second half. He did a great job and finished with a great goal.
"He is doing what we expected a
striker of his experience to do – score goals and hold the ball up well,
especially away from home.
"We scored a great goal and afterwards, had another one disallowed. But
it was the only way against a team that is so strong physically and pushing
all the time.
"Be sure you defend well and, when you get the chance, try to cause them
some problems.
"It is an important win because we
were playing a team close to us. We felt the pressure, and they did too.
"It's very clear: I have said since August, we have problems and we'll be
fighting at the bottom of the table. Every time you get three points, you have
a little more confidence."
Stats:
Salomon
Rondon scored his fifth goal of the season for Newcastle - and his fourth
in the Premier League.
United's 111th away victory in the Premier League was a first-ever
top flight win here. That leaves Brighton and Watford as the two remaining
current PL sides we're yet to claim maximum points against on the road.
A second away victory in the PL
this season means that we've matched our previous worst totals across a
whole campaign, managing only a pair in 2003/04, 2008/09, 2012/13 and 2015/16.
Two wins and four draws from our opening eight away games means that
Rafa's side have collected 10 points away from SJP so far this season - one
more than they managed in the entire 2015/16 away campaign.

Loan
lads:
Aarons
Czechs out
Rolando Aarons (Slovan Liberec)
Saturday saw Slovan play out a 0-0 draw in Prague at Bohemians 1905 in the Czech
League. Aarons was only trusted to be brought on as a 90th minute substitute
for what was the final game of his loan spell there.
Aarons played 769 minutes across thirteen games for the mid-table side
(starting nine times) but failed to score a single goal.
The Czech League now closes down until February and 23 year-old winger
Rolando will return to SJP, where he's under contract until 2021 but was
unable to claim a first team squad place this season.
Dwight Gayle (West Bromwich Albion)
The
on-loan striker completed 90 minutes as Albion collected a 2-1 win at
promotion rivals Sheffield
United in the Championship on Friday.
Henri Saivet
(Bursaspor)
It finished scoreless away to Goztepe in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday,
Henri completing 88 minutes.
Dan
Barlaser/Luke Charman
(Accrington Stanley)
An uncomfortable afternoon for Accy at Roots Hall, beaten 0-3 by Southend
United in League One on Saturday. Dan played the full game but Luke wasn't
involved in the matchday squad at all.
Josef Yarney (Morecambe)
Things were little better at Sincil Bank in League Two on Saturday, as
Morecambe lost 1-3 to Lincoln City. Josef played the full game for the
Shrimps.
Jack Colback (Nottingham Forest)
Derby County (a) Championship, Monday.
U23s:
Magpies
beaten
Southampton U23s 2 Newcastle U23s 1
United's U23 side completed their 2018 fixtures
away to Southampton
on Friday night, losing for the first time in eight league and cup outings.
New Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was among the small crowd at Staplewood Training
Ground and watched his development side dominate the game without making a
breakthrough in the first half.
Following his return to fitness, Magpies defender Jamie Sterry was in the
starting lineup and his crucial clearance denied the hosts in the 21st
minute.
Midfielder Will
Smallbone then drilled a shot from distance off the crossbar after 23 minutes
before visiting custodian Nathan Harker blocked a low effort from
Nathan Tella at the expense of a corner.
By contrast, his opposite number Harry Lewis in the home goal had nothing to
do before half time.
The Newcastle goal survived two near escapes in quick succession, before a
close range finish from Smallbone on 54 minutes broke the
deadlock.
Having set up the opener, Jonathan Afolabi doubled Southampton's lead eight
minutes later, prodding a shot following Tella's centre from the right.
A rare excursion into the Saints box on 74 minutes ended with Sorensen feeding
the ball in the left and O'Connor upending Rosaire Longelo as he ran in.
Callum Roberts converted the resultant spot kick for his ninth league goal of
the season but that was as good as it got for Ben Dawson's side, who pushed on
in the closing stages but created virtually nothing.
Team: Harker, Sterry (Longelo 46), Gibson,
M. Longstaff, Bailey, Watts,
Allan, Sangare (Cumbreras 85), Sorensen, Roberts, Wilson (Toure 59).
Subs n/u: Huuhtanen, McEntee.

RB MOTM
Friday saw Newcastle United
manager Rafa Benitez named the PL manager of the month for November,
claiming the award for the seventh time after three consecutive wins during
that month.
Five managers have won more than Rafa's haul of seven, but none of them
are currently in post: Martin O'Neill (8), Harry Redknapp (8), David Moyes
(10), Arsene Wenger (15) and Sir Alex Ferguson (27).
The last current Magpies boss to win the award was Alan Pardew in November
2014 while Rafa's previous success was as Chelsea manager
back in April 2013.

Internationals:
Sorensen
steps up
Reserve striker Elias Sorensen has been called up to
Denmark's U21 side - his first selection at that level.
The 20 year-old has previously represented his nation at both U17 and U19
level and is in the U21 party for two friendly games in Mexico next month.
Hopefully Sorensen will still be available to face the mackems in the
Checkatrade Trophy on January 8th, with the Danish tour listed as running from
the 10th until the 20th.
The two games give Elias an opportunity to force his way into the squad for
the European Championship Finals staged in June 2019. Denmark U21s are in the
same group as Germany, Serbia and Austria for the 12 nation tournament staged
in Italy.
The in-form striker is out of contract at the end of this season and an
initial offer was rebuffed, although he's said to be happy to remain on
Tyneside.
A similar situation saw his reserve colleague Sean Longstaff put pen to paper
on a new four year deal recently, having rejected the original terms offered.
Premier
League:
Wembley or
White
Hart Lane - update
Wednesday saw Spurs confirm that they are to continue to use Wembley
Stadium for home games until at least Sunday January 13th, when they
will host Manchester United in the Premier League.
That was provisionally scheduled to be the first played at their new stadium,
but further delays in construction and commissioning of it mean that another
game will now be the inaugural one.
The next Spurs game after that is a Wednesday evening meeting with Watford on
January 30th, although a weekend game seems favourite - which means it's more
likely to be the visit of Newcastle United on or around Saturday February 2nd.
A further progress report is scheduled for the week commencing Monday January
7th.
Premier
League:
TV dates
delay
Although due to be released last Wednesday, the Premier League
have confirmed that they will delay publication of the February 2019 TV live
games until after Champions League draw next week.
Four PL teams have made it through to the last 16 of that competition and will
learn their fate this coming Monday (December 17th), with the TV alterations
confirmed at an unspecified point after that.
The Newcastle games "at
risk" this time round are:
Sat 02.02.2019 Tottenham Hotspur (a)
Sat 09.02.2019 Wolves (a)
Sat 23.02.2019 Huddersfield Town (h)
Wed 27.02.2019 Burnley (h)
Checkatrade
Trophy:
mackems (a)
details
Newcastle's U21 side will play their last 16 tie in the Checkatrade Trophy
at the stadium of plight on Tuesday January 8th 2019.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm and a result must be achieved on the night. If
the scores are level after 90 minutes then the tie will go straight to
penalties.
The tie is all ticket and Newcastle will receive an unspecified allocation of
seats. Details of how and when they go on sale are yet to be confirmed, but
tournament rules permit up to 5,000 for visitors.
Ticket prices have been confirmed however - and in what looks like an attempt
to deter fans from attending, adult admission has been set at £15 (£5
for U16s/ over-65s).
That compares unfavourably with their home tie in the last round of same
competition less than two weeks ago, when adult admission was just £3.
Tickets for their FA Cup defeat by Walsall meanwhile were
£10, tempting just over 8,200 punters.
As a top-flight side, United will field their U21s with some scope to include
over age players. It's officially a first team game
for the third-tier mackems.
Last 16 draw:
North:
Rochdale v Manchester City U21s
mackems v Newcastle U21s
Accrington Stanley v Bury
Port Vale v Shrewsbury Town
South:
Southend United v Portsmouth
Chelsea U21s v Peterborough United
Northampton Town v Bristol Rovers
Cheltenham Town v Oxford United/Spurs U21s
Takeover:
No news may
be good news....eventually
Former Chelsea and Manchester United
CEO Peter Kenyon remains in discussions to acquire the club from Mike Ashley,
using finance reportedly provided by US based Rockefeller Financial
Management.
Claims of interest from other groups are unverified while financial consultants
representing Kenyon have been on Tyneside, although there's been a clear
reluctance to use the phrase "due diligence".
The £300m asking price that has been bandied around isn't fixed in terms of a
one-off payment and a form of down payment could be acceptable, given proof of
sufficient funds.
However the chances of a successful conclusion before the end of the January
transfer window are lessening by the way, leading to further uncertainty over
what - if any - budget Rafa has to work with.
PS: Fresh claims of agreement deal for the Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almiron have
again been rubbished by the MLS
side's President, although it appears that contact is ongoing with NUFC.

Born Or Died:
1935
Jim Iley born, South Kirby, Yorkshire.
(1962-69)
Signed from Nottingham Forest in
September 1962, the Yorkshire-born midfielder went on to
become a Magpies stalwart.
Having previously played for Sheffield United and Spurs
before being recruited by Joe Harvey, the prematurely
balding Iley helped secure seventh and eighth place
finishes in his first two seasons.
Forming a well-remembered half back line with Stan
Anderson and John McGrath, Jim was an integral part of
the side that won the Division Two title in 1965.
Scoring five times that season, his goal sealed a 2-0
home victory against Bolton Wanderers on Good
Friday that secured United's promotion place.
Captaining the side following their return to the top
flight, Iley found himself regularly appearing from the
bench by the 1968/69 campaign - including a brief outing
away to Feyenoord in the Fairs Cup.
Making his final appearance in a League Cup loss at
Southampton in September 1968, the 33 year-old then
joined Peterborough United on a free transfer during
January 1969, soon becoming Posh player/boss.
Spells in charge of Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Bury and
Exeter City followed - including a giant-killing feat
over Newcastle, when the Fourth Division Shakers won
over two legs in the 1980/81 League Cup.
Having scouted for Cambridge United and Luton Town
between managerial roles, Jim continued to take in games
for both the Hatters and Charlton Athletic following his
departure from Exeter in 1985.
Making regular visits to Tyneside in recent years for
gatherings of ex-Magpies, Jim was also present for the
unveiling of a plaque commemorating his former manager
Joe Harvey at St.James' Park in 2014.
Sadly he passed away in November 2018 - just a few weeks
before his 83rd birthday.

After putting six past the Potters without reply at
SJP earlier in the season, United's defence was rather
more accommodating at The Victoria Ground, but our forward
line were still firing on (nearly) all cylinders.

Shoulder(15), Cassidy(80), Withe(53,89)
Goddard(27), Roeder(39)
25,027
A fantastic game in which United took an early lead
through a looping Alan Shoulder shot, and fell behind to goals
from future Magpie duo Paul Goddard and Glenn Roeder, by half
time.
In the
second half a black & white dog came on to the pitch as
Hibbitt prepared to take a free kick and resisted attempts
at capture - including a rugby tackle from Peter Withe.
When the game restarted with the free kick, Withe headed
an equaliser to his great delight, before Tommy Cassidy and Withe
again sealed a memorable victory.

Chris Waddle's fifth goal in seven games though came 24
hours after his birthday and with England boss Bobby
Robson present.

1997 Newcastle's reserve side put three past Hull
City without reply, with Ian "Jackie" Milbourne
netting after just two minutes.
Two second half goals from Ian Rush then completed the
victory - which came 15 years to the day that the veteran
striker had netted for Wales in a 4-4 draw in Yugoslavia.

2004
Newcastle's U18s made it into the Fourth Round of
the FA Youth Cup after beating Blackpool 2-1 at
Kingston Park.
Carl Finnigan netted in each
half although the Seasiders had equalised before the break.
2006 The UEFA Cup last 32 draw paired
United with the comparatively unknown Belgians of SV
Zulte Waregem.
SV were playing in their first ever European competition
after winning the Belgian Cup for the first time the previous season, beating Excelsior Mouscron 2-1 in the final.
The team was formed by merging two clubs (Zultse VV and KSV Waregem)
in 2001 - the latter losing to Cologne in the 1985/86 UEFA Cup Semi-Finals.
 2007 Fulham (a)

Premier League
Barton(90+2)
24,959
Joey Barton opened his United goalscoring
account with an injury time penalty after Alan Smith was upended by Elliott
Omozusi.
A clean sheet, a maximum return and another
late winner were all that mattered, but the two sides threatened to outdo
each other in total mediocrity at the Cottage.
NUFC.com match report
2010
"We will be
writing to him to remind him of his responsibilities."
Comments
attributed to an FA spokesman relating to the ongoing attempts
to land Newcastle's Joey Barton with an FA charge, following gestures
made in the direction of Fernando Torres during Saturday's game.
Doubtless that was a great disappointment to the BBC, in particular
the horrible Lee Dixon and the odious, Liverpool-supporting host, Colin Murray.

KO'd United as the
reigning Champions left SJP with three points for the second
time in 2012.
Two behind at the break, Demba Ba's 11th goal of the season nodded United back into the game
before strike partner Papiss Cisse fired a great chance narrowly over the bar.
With the crowd backing them after suffering in silence during much of the
first half, United pushed forward in search of an equaliser - only to be
then caught out by Toure.
