Lose and that's 3 on the bounce going into International Break after a substantial transfer window of business.
However, season isn't won or lost after just a few games and Newcastle are a top Premium team whilst we're still trying to find our feet.
Club are doing a good job of clearing out some players and fake has shown that he can successfully re-integrate players and create unity.
I like to think he's intelligent enough to have learnt from past 1st season back campaigns and it feel club has backed him.
I think that we can afford a bad result v Newcastle and still have hope for teh season, but I feel that we need a better performance.
We need some sort of rebound, some proof that we genuinely are better than last 2 showings and so this match is massive.
Regardless of result, we need a performance and keys I am looking for:
Perri to show something that indicates he is an upgrade in goal.
Stach to show performance he showed v Everton
Piroe to score
Nmecha to show he can make more of an impact
Is Newcastle massive?

from what i seen of Okafor the other night i hope he is injured. didn't see anything from him that we didn't already have and would even suggest Aaronson had more of an impact than him and Harrison def did. Think Perri looked poor distribution wise and both okifor and lonstaff offered nothing so theres 40/50 mill spunked against the wall on them. throw in dcl and nmecha and there is 5 players who look worse than what we had. If we had put in a performance against wendies i would have been confident of a draw at least against newcastle but after our display i cant see us getting anything. We have been shopping like billionaires on temu and it shows

It's the 3rd prem game, so no, not massive at all. Important yes, all home games will be, but referring to it as massive is pressure of itself.
Hopefully the team, roared on by the crowd, will get a good performance and hopefully a positive result.

I hope so too but I don't have a very good feeling about tomorrow and will be really chuffed if we get anything.

Squad as it is filled with injury prone players doesn't exactly fill with me with confidence. Already Amps, AO and Ofikor missing for tomorrow and with news the Brighton player loan has collapsed the owners I would say have not done a good enough job in giving Farke the best chance possible of keeping us up....Desperately need some uplifting exciting news to happen in the next 3 days otherwise I think we're gonna have to endure weekly defeats and some bad ones at that.

Shame if that loan has collapsed, he looked a great option. Maybe doesn't/didn't fancy a relegation scrap, so has more attractive options?
Owners, the contract kings, need to work some magic or they give DF excuses ...........

When did we start writing players off after one game. Its madness

Exactly this to my mind.
We are relegation favourites.
We have an average squad.
Our survival story will be home games v lower half of the league backed by our amazing fans.
We have to be prepared for a lot of losses, but we also need to be prepared to support the team and players to hopefully get those few wins and draws required.

It's the injuries to Amps and Tanaka that has really lowered the mood I think Oatwood plus Okefor appears to be out as well and the lack of adequate replacements and any real difference makers although there is now strong rumours on twitter Hamer is going to be a Leeds player so not our first choice but better than nothing.

I was commenting on what was a very lacklustre performance. Seems to have no pace unlike what we were led to believe and showed no worthy Ball skills to write home about. Must have been at least 5th choice and shows why we valued others more. Like I said looks like we're shopping at temu

Fair enough and yes Okefor, Perri and the other new signings I agree have to be given more than one or two games before bring written off, but I still worry about some of their injury records that Leeds seem to have a knack for attracting sick note players like moths to a flame.
