A lot aren't paying at the mo so there should be a list those who are so the ones who didn't buy a season ticket don't accidentally get an explanationQuote:

With that in mind, I would like to see Murphy having a good run in the team.
I would also like to see Whyte featuring more too.
I’ve always thought he would be a better player in the same team as his brother.Quote:

His brother Jacob, to his credit, has apparently been working hard doing extra training trying to get back in favour in the Newcastle side.
He worked his socks off yesterday and grabbed the ball to score a terrific equalising goal late on.
Josh obviously has talent but we only get glimpses. He is good when we are on top but when we are up against it unfortunately does not put the graft in and you have to earn your place in Harris's side.
I hope Josh watched Jacob and takes a leaf out of his book.
Hoilet wasn't any better when he came on to be fair.Quote:

As he's an asset if playng well.
Hoilett is off at the end of the season anyway
Hoilett has had plenty of chances, Murphy has had 60 minutes against a spoiling side. Let's give him a chance to get into form.Quote:

If someone gets injured it will be Murphy's chance and he has to take that chance.
Who knows, NH may have seen something he likes and start him on Wednesday.
Whyte?Quote:

Hoilett slows down play massively.Quote:

Murphy is different. Head down, looks to beat his man but runs into traffic often by not seeing in front of him
Hoilett better when you’ve got a target man playing with his back to goal, murphy better when trying to play behind the defence. Would prefer to see Murphy playing alongside Moore, not on the wing
Think Hoilett is struggling lately.
Im paying the club for streams but Mehmet and Ken are alright, I dont need an explanation as to why Murphy is not perfoming to Raheem Sterlings standard, or why Harris has choosen to use him less this season.Quote:

He did get one very good shot off going into the bottom corner which forced their keeper into one of only a few saves he had to make all game.
He's the type of Wingers who needs games and confidence. Warnock and Harris (less so) have always been quick to drop him. In the prem he was one of few players who looked like they could make something happen, he could be motm and then dropped.
:hehe: Brilliant. It'd be much better to give him abuse in person, eh?Quote:
