Your Shout: Bolton 2-1 Newcastle - Have Your Say - Write In
By Jonny Hall On Wed 27 Dec 2006 |
The Boxing Day blues continued for Newcastle yesterday as they fell 2-1 at the Reebok Stadium against Bolton Wanderers. Kieron Dyer gave Newcastle an early lead and the Magpies were in cruise control. However Peter Ramage headed past Pavel Srnicek after 26 minutes to hand Bolton a lifeline. That mistake proved the turning point in the game as Anelka went on to score the winner early in the 2nd half denying the Toon of all 3 points.
Was Roeder right to drop Emre to the bench? Did Kevin Nolan push Ramage in the back to send him past Srnicek? Should their equaliser have been disallowed? Were Newcastle commited enough? What would you have done?
As always, N-O want YOUR views on the game just gone by using the comments feature below. So come on, tell us what you think!

I was disappointed with the result but the performance was OK. I think that we did well compared to a lot of other good teams that go to Bolton and I am proud like always to be a Mag.
I would also like to add the fact that I am ace. I am sooo ace, not arrogant, I just no how good I am.

Good work but disapointing result.
Bottom line, we need some skill in defence. The work is there, but skill is poor.
Also, a defensive midfielder. Parker is box to box, Emre is inconsistent so the hole is there in front of defence. We need someone there to stay.
By having that extra player as a def. mid. staying back, it encourages the foolbacks to advance down the line and join in the attack and we don’t get caught back on a break. Also, the defence will be streached out to cover the wings, giving the space for the lightning fast Martins to run into space or attack head on.
That’s my opinion anyway. I would like to see that, a small change in tactics.
…every day in every way…I live United…
