Might this be the final nail in Glenn Roeder’s managerial coffin? Having pitifully lost to Blackburn at home, we clocked up our 17th defeat of the season - a Premier League record for our club. If we do not win at Watford, then we will accomplish our worst ever points tally for a season in the top flight.

In a game where we were utterly outplayed and completely toothless, but for the sparky vengeance of the returning Michael Owen, Blackburn made sure that the Magpies’ new kit looked less than shiny.

What would you like to see happen now? Shepherd sack him tonight? Or should we wait until the end of the season - or even keep him? Have your say…
