Derby's results would have to be declared null and void and every seasons table be recalculated

I'd imagine it depends on whoever else they manage to offload

They may have been good enough if Derby hadn't cheated

That's assuming Robins doesn't go back to playing 1 up front with Allen and O'Hare just behind, like our league 1 and early championship days, we then have Shipley and Jones on the bench, not great I know

Not forgetting at the minute we still have Shipley and Jones that can come in

Ideally I'd like to see him replaced, I think it would limit our options especially if one of the strikers would suffer an injury or suspension

I fail to see how Middlesborough can have any sort of claim, ok they missed the play offs by a point to Derby but was that because they lost to them or they're saying Derby's cheating robbed them of a place, surely Derby's results should be null and void and the table recalculated

Living in the North East, its Newcastle for me

He'll only have 12 months left on his contract, my guess would be somewhere around 2, possibly 2.5 million

Before the season started I would have be happy with a slight improvement on last, but after our start this season, I'd hope for at least a top 10 finish

Merry Christmas everyone from County Durham

They're away at Ipswich on Saturday, I believe it's the home game against Sheff Wed on the 30th where ticket sales are going well

Newcastle away

We always seem to struggle against the high intensity, physical sides like West Brom, Bham, Luton,Preston for example, we're not a big side, perhaps that needs addressing in the future and no I wouldn't want us playing a style like Bham and Preston in particular

Before the season started I'd have been happy with the 2 points and a mid table finish but now Iit would be a little disappointing

Attacking wise then I would say he has the edge. Defensively I'm not so sure

Whilst not being convinced by him, possibly because I was a big fan of MacCallum, my main concern is there's no cover for him, if he was injured or had a loss of form, that is unless we play someone else out of position

I'm not convinced on Maatsan, so a LWB for me and cover or someone to challenge O'Hare

Probably not but they'd be entering the last year of their contracts, do we try to get them to sign new, risk losing them for nothing or move them on in the summer

Next season could be interesting with the possibility of replacements for Hamer, O'Hare, maybe Walker, plus JCS and Maatsan
