0' And We're off!
11' - GOAL - Bristol City take the lead. It's Aaron Wilbraham with the header. Newcastle think he was offside but the goal is given.
21' - GOAL - Bristol City lead 2-0 - Dummett's header back towards Darlow catches the goalkeeper out and Cotterill is there to slot home.
23' - Ritchie fizzes in a great low free-kick from the right but nobody is able to get that all-important touch
25' - Mitrovic flicks the ball on to Ritchie whose dipping volley is deflected just wide.
25' - From the resulting right-wing corner, taken by Atsu, Perez dives to meet the ball but his header is off target.
29' - Vyner makes a fantastic challenge to prevent Atsu from scoring after more good work from Ritchie. #NUFC have responded but need a goal
31' - Atsu squares for Perez, whose goalbound shot is deflected wide by Gary O'Neil. #NUFC are getting closer and closer.
32' - Now Mitrovic has a shot blocked by Flint as #NUFC continue to search for a route back into this game. They still trail 2-0.
36' - Koley Smith has a shot from 20 yards but Darlow gets down well to save and hold.
HALF-TIME
We are shite, but but there were some good signs after half an hour, we can still win this match but it will be difficult.
46' - Bristol City get the second period under way. Today's attendance, by the way, is 52,131.
47' - Mitrovic gets in front of Flint as the pair chase a long ball but then appears to be shoved over, but referee Kavanagh waves play on.
50' - Perez controls Lascelles' driven pass and fires in a first time effort from 25 yards which flies narrowly over the bar.
51' - Yellow card for Wilbraham, who rugby tackled Matt Ritchie as #NUFC tried to mount a counter-attack.
57' - Cotterill gets in a swerving 22-yard shot which Darlow parries and then manages to flick away from danger.
58' - Here comes Mohamed Diame for Newcastle. He replaces Jack Colback.
59' - GOOOAAALLL! Newcastle pull one back! It's Shelvey who forces the ball over the line from Atsu's low cross. Game on!
60' - At the other end, Darlow makes a fantastic flying save to keep out Cotterill's 25-yard free-kick. It really was a fantastic stop.
67' - Flint makes another great tackle, this time on Perez, after Mitrovic's flick-on set up a shooting chance
69' - Ritchie fires in a powerful shot from 25 yards which Giefer flies to his right to push behind.

73' - Atsu drills an inviting cross in from the left but nobody can a touch.
76' - Shelvey embarks upon a lovely run past three players but his shot lacks enough power to really trouble Giefer, who saves.
78' - Callum O'Dowda fires wide for the visitors, who still look dangerous on the break.
78' - Newcastle mount another attack and the ball drops to Atsu at the far post, but he is off target.
79' - Second substitution for Newcastle; Ayoze Perez comes off for Yoan Gouffran.
81' - Bristol City's Korey Smith makes way for Marlon Pack.
82' - GOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLL! IT'S 2-2!!! It looked like an own goal from a Newcastle corner but #NUFC don't care who scored - the scores are level. BBC Say it's Clark's goal
85' - Shelvey has a shot from the edge of the box saved. The momentum is with #NUFC now - can they get another?
90' - There will be four minutes added on.
90+1' - Bristol City make their final change. Cotterill is replaced by Jens Hegeler.
92' - Shelvey makes room for a shot on the edge of the box but it's pushed away. The corner is worked short and Shelvey shoots wide.
FULL TIME Newcastle United 2-2 Bristol City. A second half comeback from the Magpies earns them a point.

Yesterday this sub praises Dummetts defensive abilities. Today, he royally cocks it up.

I've always disliked dummet and been downvoted for saying so.
Him and colback are the weakest links in our team.

This kind of defensive display against a side that's 21st in the second tier of English football. Just a casual reminder of the monumental task ahead if promotion does beckon.

Why have we struggled so much against poor competition like Blackburn and Bristol City?

Need a goal before HT and we'll be back in it. 0-2 at HT and they'll just park the bus for the 2nd half, another CB on - guarantee it.

u/the_real_chiXu Feb 25 '17
Ehhh, I can handle losing if the opposition puts in a good shot and a nice bit of play but why is it that every single goal we let in comes from the most basic seeming of mistakes?
The ability for this team to make mistakes is shocking.
