I'm bewildered at the fact that Newcastle churns out consistently shite centre halves. I can't think another team who has had such little quality in that area constantly for the last decade or so

Think you'd stand a better chance if Steven Taylor got injured tbf.

200 won on the first day of Cheltenham \o/

Listened to the game on BBC Radio 5, they seemed impressed with Colback at left back but the incompetence of the Newcastle forward line sounded almost comical. Even with saying that, an improved performance all round!

Has Jonjo Shelvey ever completed a forward pass since joining Newcastle? All i see him do last night was pass the ball backwards all first half and then he spent almost the entirety of the second collecting the ball from 3 yards away from a center back (something i've never understood and drives me mad) and then trying to hit 50/60y passes which would either go out of play or simply land on a Leicester players head.

Preparing for the Championship with some Championship standard refereeing.

On the whole much, much improved performance. Leicester didn't create much - and I don't think they had a shot on target aside from an offside goal. Newcastle probably should have had a penalty as well.

Can't believe some Newcastle fans are complaining they got Benitez.

I think thats the key thing, I don't think the structure at a football club makes as much difference as people think. I've advocated for United adopting a similar back room structure to yours on here before (Graham Carr is your chief scout officially, but it seems from the outside he is basically a director of football?), but at the end of the day its more important that you just get competent people making the decisions. Clearly Newcastle don't have that, and its hard to see how appointing Benitez alone will address that.

Has he ever had that at any club?

Always struck me as the continental head coach type.
