Introduction and Host Update
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Newcastle Podcast. I will be your host today. So that is me, Nicola. And it is just the two females from the Newcastle team because our other co-host is having a bit of a stinker with traffic on the A1. So he is currently out of bounds. So I am joined by my wonderful Joe. How are you?
00:00:37
Jo
I'm all good, chick. It's all right. Kevin was bound to get stuck because it's raining, you see, and people forget how to drive when it's raining. So it's fine.
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree.
00:00:44
Jo
You'll probably get home in about an hour. so I mean, there's a fair chance he might actually be sitting home with a cuppa saying stuff you do.
00:00:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Either that or we looked at the schedule and thought I'm absolutely not podcasting with those two nut jobs tonight. Could be that.
00:01:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I agree. He's had enough of us. I mean, I have enough of me on the daily, so let's be honest.
Post-Liverpool Game Analysis
00:01:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, let's get in into the pod. So we have quite a bit to talk about actually, because this is our first recording I think, post Liverpool game, which I think you were all out by me, which is really sad.
00:01:20
Jo
Is Michael there, was he?
00:01:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, so I think he was, he might have been.
00:01:24
Jo
Oh, was he? I can't keep up anymore.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't keep up with this team.
00:01:28
Jo
No, it's fine.
00:01:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I thought we can quick, well have a sort of a 10 minute chit chat around what we seen yesterday evening i'm on that game.
00:01:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to kick it off by saying for my marriage, it was probably the best results because we're still talking. um And as a neutral, that must have been one hell of a game to watch because there was just goals after goals after goals.
00:01:52
Jo
God, yeah.
00:01:55
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:01:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
But as a Newcastle fan, i am I am so pleased.
00:01:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought we came out so strong fighting from the get go. I haven't got a bad thing to say about any of those players on that pitch yesterday, other than the fact that Anthony Gordon's chance in the first half is going to live rent free in my head forever, the fact that he didn't finish it.
00:02:08
Jo
Yeah.
00:02:16
Jo
yeah
00:02:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So how are we feeling, Jo? Obviously you were at the game, so you know um were there to soak up the atmosphere and watch it in real time. So how are you feeling?
00:02:28
Jo
pretty fantastic. it was It was great.
00:02:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:32
Jo
I mean, the lads turned up, the fans turned up. Their fans didn't really turn up, which I was genuinely shocked at because I just expect a lot more Think 4 Away fans, and especially Liverpool, they've got a bit of a reputation.
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:43
Jo
but they were quiet man i didn't hear much from them until it was 3-2 and then they find us singing in voices but enough about them it's about us nah we were fantastic we look we expected the lads to turn up we joke all the time about the fact that you know they turn up for the big matches they turned up
00:02:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:03:00
Jo
So it's fine. But they turned it in pretty spectacular kind of fashion, I'll be honest. And again, it it always works that way, doesn't it? The fans feed off the players, the players feed off the fans.
00:03:10
Jo
It was a great high intensity atmosphere is the best way I can describe it. Because people were calling for like an atmosphere like PSG.
00:03:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:16
Jo
And don't get me wrong, it wasn't as good as PSG, but that's a far cry for any match to be as good as the PSG one. But I'll tell you what, it was right up there. As I say, everyone was up for it. and it's it is a shame isn't it like you can say i thought we were going to win at times i feared once it went three two it was one of those moments that oh my god it's happening again we've lost it so as a toon fan yet another roller coaster of emotions throughout the entire game but yeah so it's been fantastic for us to watch fantastic for the neutrals to watch there was bookings galore because there was
00:03:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:50
Jo
which tackles flying in left, right and centre, which I don't mind a bit of that to be fair. The ref to me at a 50-50 game, he seemed to be alright in the first half, and apparently what you found out afterwards, Mr Slott, had a word with him at half time apparently, which I do find interesting and I don't really understand why you'd
00:03:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
yes
00:04:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, that's interesting.
00:04:08
Jo
Did I have a word with the ref? Yeah, I know. There's pictures of him talking to the ref at half-time. I mean, why? Why are you not in the dressing room with your players? But, hmm, because oddly enough, did the ref have a different game in the second half?
00:04:20
Jo
Yes, he did. and But then again, Liverpool came out fighting a lot more in the second half as well, because they had to. They realized that we were absolutely dominating the first half.
00:04:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
They have to.
00:04:28
Jo
Slott must have woken up their backsides, basically, and they came out and they were firing, which made it an even better game in that sense, because it was, it was just backwards and forwards, up and down.
00:04:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:37
Jo
and it really could have went anyway so in the grand scheme and my honest head-on it probably did deserve to be a draw because both sets of fans or teams would have felt robbed I suppose if they'd lost it but yeah just an excellent game wasn't it was it it was a true classic of Liverpool Newcastle because boy have we had a lot of classics over the years going right back to the 90s I experienced the fourth reason
00:04:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
a
00:05:00
Jo
and everything and in between, you know, right, we haven't got a great record against Liverpool, but we've had a lot of exciting matches.
00:05:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
Player Highlights and Performances
00:05:06
Jo
It's more my angle on that one.
00:05:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
and This is what you want when you watch a game of football. You want to watch two teams, you know, battling out on the pitch. You don't want to watch teams sit back and play for the draw.
00:05:18
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:05:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know what I mean? And yeah yeah I mean, you have to give it to our lads. They play, well, obviously Fabian Schar scored in the 90th minute, so they played you know, right up until that final whistle.
00:05:30
Jo
Yeah.
00:05:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
and that's what you want to see. And I, you know, I walked into the gym this morning and, well, I got asked two questions. One was, are you and Tyler still talking? I bet it was tense in your house last night. and two, as a neutral, it was just an unbelievable game to watch.
00:05:40
Jo
yeah
00:05:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
now I, I've got to say we are probably look like the first team. that have rattled Liverpool a little bit this season, other than, was it not in a forest that beat them?
00:05:58
Jo
yeah The forest was flying at this time as well, weren't they? So, yeah.
00:05:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and we we absolutely flying at the time, yeah.
00:06:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I must admit, this is the first time I've watched Liverpool and thought, you guys weren't expecting us to come out. And you know we absolutely went for it from the first minute.
00:06:11
Jo
Yep.
00:06:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
and And I've got to be honest, you can hear the atmosphere through the TV screen last night. m It sounded electric.
00:06:18
Jo
I love that.
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Was it pretty electric when you're in there?
00:06:23
Jo
It was, yeah. And as we all know, I love Good Sing.
00:06:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:26
Jo
So there's nothing more I love when the fans will start and I'll jump at any, any given chance to sing.
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:31
Jo
So me and my friends are joking like our voices were pretty broken today, but I don't care. I want my voice broken. I want that type of atmosphere.
00:06:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
absolutely Yeah.
00:06:38
Jo
I will happily lose my voice to have an atmosphere like that because yeah, it was, it was great. And it it again, it goes back to what I said before.
00:06:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:06:45
Jo
the the players were feeding off us but we were feeding off the players and it just made for an all-around amazing atmosphere really did we could hear which you don't always do because i was right up in the heavens i was in level seven back row so as many steps as you want to possibly try to to count at that point we could hear all the way over in the strawberry corners of the galga as far as you can hear but you could hear them nice and loud as well so it was obviously carrying beautifully around other parts of the stadium was singing which don't often happen no it it was fantastic it wasn't
00:06:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
and just Yeah.
00:07:13
Jo
just our goals I'll be honest it'ss it's a funny one isn't it because I have watched the highlights back and I think I thought their goals were scrappier than they actually were but I do still think ours were better goals doesn't matter we still got three goals each I appreciate it's still a 3-3 draw no matter how the goals went in
00:07:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God.
00:07:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:07:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Oh. Absolutely.
00:07:29
Jo
but our goals were cracking man, I mean EZX was a literal rocket, there's not many keepers are going to get a hold of that because the literal speed of it, now note from outside the box but you're going to hit something 70 miles now which I've read today then yeah it's like burst in the back of the net isn't
00:07:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:43
Jo
To which we all probably felt like we were going to burst in the stands as well to be fair but
00:07:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:07:48
Jo
but then Gordon made up for his missed chance didn't he because he took his goal really well nice and calm he kind of faked him out as if he was going to hit it on the left the player should have known because Gordon usually always knocks it back onto his right but he did anyway anyway got it through and Cher I love well we all know how much we love Cher
00:07:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:07:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did. Yeah.
00:08:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:08:05
Jo
but more so on the share front.
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
We all love Cher.
00:08:07
Jo
I love how afterwards when they were talking about his goal and at least he admitted that he wasn't actually trying to shoot and he was just trying to cut it back across into the thing but what a what a goal it made man you know wasn't it?
00:08:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honestly.
00:08:20
Jo
That angle is unreal as I say and I appreciate he wasn't trying to score but he did and then oh it was just yeah I won't say what I said in the actual stadium because they'll get cancelled um so no.
00:08:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:08:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, no, and I won't say what I sent into many group chats because we'll get cancelled.
00:08:34
Jo
I bet you
00:08:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I do love, um I always love, and it seems to be every other Newcastle game in a minute, well, all the time, Cher always has these sort of two to three minutes of what's he going to do?
00:08:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's he going to do?
00:08:49
Jo
it
00:08:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's he going to do? And then he always just pulls out the bag every single time.
00:08:52
Jo
the
00:08:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Before we finish part one, I did just want to touch on, um don't think one player, deserved any sort of backlash from last night.
00:09:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought the all came out and proved them themselves. Obviously, my social media has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions this week. There's been so much going on in the Newcastle fan base, it's unbelievable. But there is one player in particular that I would quite like to talk about him all the time, just to call out because I thought he, I just thought him and Bruno really gelled together on the pitch yesterday.
00:09:24
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just feel like Sandro Tenali really, really had one of his best games in a Newcastle shirt.
00:09:28
Jo
Yeah.
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got to be honest.
00:09:32
Jo
yeah
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I thought he played unbelievable.
00:09:35
Jo
It's like they've finally found...
00:09:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Finally clicked.
00:09:38
Jo
Yeah, isn't it? And I think he's now secured his position, which rightly so, by the way, for the next game, but he was.
00:09:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. He
00:09:44
Jo
He was brilliant, but he has been brilliant when
Upcoming Match Against Brentford
00:09:46
Jo
he's came on, like, when he played.
00:09:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
has.
00:09:48
Jo
It's just them two together, but it finally looked like a click, but we've been waiting for that moment, haven't we? It needed to.
00:09:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
We have.
00:09:53
Jo
And we'll see if it carries on, you know, we'll knock it two ahead of ourselves, but at the same time, it's lovely to see, isn't it? But obviously, you know, you know who I'm gonna give a little shout out to, don't you? Because I got so excited in the strawberry when the lineup came out and my dad got me and the way I went on my dad was just like I really thought that Eddie had had a massive revelation there and he'd really changed the team up but I was purely so excited I was like ah I said it I was like I called for it I was like Eddie got the memo and Murphy's back in and oh man when he hit the post and even he was like on his knees and he's just like up with this like this guy and I just said my mates I was just like oh man I just wanted that in so badly like I'm just
00:10:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, he had a fair few good chances to be fair.
00:10:32
Jo
oh three good ones i've watched like the extended highlights back and i forgot about one of them i remember two of them but i forgot about one of them maybe i'm just my overall happiness maybe but oh he's now he had a game blessing he did a great job of coming in when a lot of people doubt him that's all
00:10:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Three, yeah. Good old Murphy.
00:10:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
He did, yeah. Absolutely did. Yeah, I agree with that one. we'll leave the Liverpool review there and we'll go to our first ad read out by obviously Jo because she's the only one here with me um and then we'll be back for part two where we'll have a quick chat about the Brentford game.
00:11:07

00:11:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Lovely job, thank you all.
00:11:33
Jo
Choles.
00:11:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, so I suppose we go from one game to the next and next up is Brentford.
00:11:36
Jo
yeah
00:11:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
So this is an interesting game, I think, because it's ninth place versus 10th place.
00:11:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's a mid table clash. Two teams who are sort of I'm going to say in the same kind of form, to be honest.
00:12:04
Jo
Yeah.
00:12:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know obviously we've just drew against Liverpool and Brentford are obviously on the back of a, they lost 3-1 yesterday to Aston Villa. But overall season wise, I think we're having a very similar sort of up and down season.
00:12:17
Jo
know
00:12:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
So as always, let's talk how we think we are going to go into the game and and how we think Eddie, do you think Eddie's going to change anything?
00:12:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think it will be an unchanged side? Because I'm going to be honest, I cannot believe we gave Liverpool probably one of the best games of the season that I've watched this season.
00:12:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And and yet we are struggling against the likes of West Ham Palace. know And I'm just a bit like, come on, we've got to take these games. We've got to take our chances.
00:12:52
Jo
yeah
00:12:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
So what are we feeling? Do we think Eddie will remain unchanged or do we expect to see some other changes going into it?
00:13:01
Jo
well, you know, Eddie's kind of renowned for staying unchanged when something's working. And if I'm honest, I completely agree with staying unchanged after the Liverpool game, nobody deserves to be dropped.
00:13:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
hundred
00:13:11
Jo
Murphy, Tonali, anyone that's came in there does not deserve to be dropped. So as much as we were talking about putting trips in for Tino before the Liverpool game, he then really hadn't done anything wrong to but they'll be dropped, if you know what I mean.
00:13:24
Jo
So I expect to see an unchanged side.
00:13:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
no
00:13:26
Jo
I would like to see an unchanged side as well. So it's not even what I expect. I genuinely want to see that exact same team. What I want to see from the lads now, and we've talked about this multiple times this season, and it hasn't always been a problem for us, but it a lot of the time it has and it's very much a problem for us this season again we've talked about it a million times we're turning up for the big games we're not turning up for the so-called smaller games that's not shown respect to the right teams in that sense and that's why we're dropping points it's as simple as that i don't think it's being entitled i don't think it's being
00:13:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:13:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. No.
00:13:58
Jo
over-expectant I think what I do expect though from a team of not superstars but some of them are a few of them are rated over 100 million so we've got some big players in that team I expect them to put in the effort at least okay I don't expect to win every game I'm not stupid I'm not deluded however I do expect our players to turn up at least I think it's a bare minimum you turn up you try okay I appreciate you're gonna try harder in some of the matches
00:14:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:14:26
Jo
I appreciate your attitude might be different because we're all human and so are they but I do expect more from them so I do expect to see more against Brentford and I said that before the Liverpool game and I repeated it after because I thought as much as we've just had played that great game I said fantastic can we see a bit of that against Brentford we might not see the exact passion we might not see the exact kind of I don't know
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:50
Jo
I don't even know how to word it, I'll be honest, but I expect more basically than what I saw against Palace and West Ham put that way.
00:14:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. I agree. I was having this conversation again today about how we seem to be given the, you know, the bigger teams in respect.
00:15:02
Jo
maybe
00:15:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah ah you know, we seem to be coming out and really fighting for the game. And then, you know, the, you know, the smaller games, as you put it, we're just not, I don't know, we're just not the same sometimes. And, you know, me, I think it was me, you and Kev that had this discussion last time against West Ham, was it a case of that we came out and expected just to walk all over them?
00:15:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah I feel like we can't, we're going to have confidence after the Liverpool game, 100%. And rightly so, we need to have that confidence going into the Brentford game. But what I don't want to do is go into that Brentford game and the lads just sort of expect to win it because brenford Brentford's form at home is pretty decent. It is pretty decent this season currently. Now our past results against Brentford are actually pretty good.
00:15:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got a really good form against them, but when a so when you know when a team is in form at home, that will drive that team to do well, obviously. So yeah, I completely agree with you.
00:16:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
I i want to see them come out and you know give the same respect that they've given the Liverpool game to the Brentford boys.
00:16:09
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:16:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, so I agree with that. On a lineup front, I think it should remain the way it was with Liverpool.
00:16:23
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not one of them deserve to be dropped, do they?
00:16:24
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:26
Jo
Hello?
00:16:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously we haven't got any updates yet of any sort of known injuries, you know, if anything's happened over the last sort of 24 hours.
00:16:32
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
But obviously that given that aside, sorry, if that obviously we'll find out probably tomorrow, which would be today when everyone's listening, there's any fresh injuries to this team. So I don't know if you agree with that with an unchanged lineup.
00:16:45
Jo
No, 100%. Like we've just said, nobody deserves to be dropped.
00:16:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:49
Jo
I'd be sad to see anyone dropped, I'll be honest.
00:16:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:16:51
Jo
Nobody needs to be rested, I don't think. I know December's a tough one because you seem to just have match after match after match. and So I know I do appreciate it's been a midweek game.
00:16:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:17:01
Jo
We're going straight into Saturday, normal 3pm kickoff, which seems to be rare these days.
00:17:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:17:07
Jo
But like you said, with Renford, they have got a great home record, their last home game.
00:17:11
Jo
They were away yesterday, weren't they, the Villa? when they lost.
00:17:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're away, yeah.
00:17:15
Jo
but yeah yeah yeah So they beat Leicester, was their last home game, 4-1.
00:17:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
For one.
00:17:20
Jo
And I appreciate Leicester again, aren't playing great, but then again, Leicester have been weird. They've kind of won some games you don't expect.
00:17:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:26
Jo
I mean, this season's been bizarre, hasn't it? I mean, you've still got a massive chunk of teams within a few points of each other. though You've got Liverpool flying away with it. You've got City being bizarre.
00:17:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:36
Jo
They finally won yesterday, but that's just, yeah. and Eventually, in how mad is it that you would say that about City, But then obviously Arsenal beat Manu, which is good for us because we've got to be realistic.
00:17:48
Jo
Like we're not catching Arsenal. I'm just being realistic about it. It's not being negative.
00:17:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:17:52
Jo
You do expect the top three to be Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal. in what order we don't know.
00:17:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:17:59
Jo
but Yeah, probably in that order. But yeah, I don't know. let's Let's see what they do. I'm not gonna be negative about it. I'm not gonna be um not going to be overly cocky or positive.
00:18:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, either.
00:18:10
Jo
And that's another thing like you've just said about our players. We need to go in with our tails up, confident, absolutely.
00:18:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:18:16
Jo
We need that confidence. And I think they've been lacking confidence. I think it's been a bit of a big player in how we've been playing.
00:18:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. Yep.
00:18:22
Jo
Going with confidence, don't go in cocky. There's two different things right
00:18:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Cocky.
Player Management and Workload
00:18:25
Jo
there.
00:18:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Two different things.
00:18:26
Jo
yeah yeah but it's a game we can take we just need if we play our game but how many times we said that if we just play our game don't need to be ridiculous about it just play our game teams can't handle us we've said that before play our high pressing intense game that we have destroyed teams with and we'll get a good result from brenford simple as that
00:18:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. hundred cent
00:18:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
can't.
00:18:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%. I agree. we I'm just looking at the table while we're talking now. I mean, as in Brentford, we're both we're all both on the same points. We're on 20 points.
00:18:56
Jo
Mmhmm.
00:18:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brentford are obviously sitting at 9th when we're sitting in 10th. So it's all to play for on this game.
00:19:02
Jo
Absolutely.
00:19:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Two teams that have, you know, are having a very similar season, I guess.
00:19:06
Jo
Mmhmm.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I agree. um'm I'm going to be honest, I haven't really done my research. It's probably not what people want to hear when when they're doing the pod um on Brentford. So i am what I do know is that they they tend to play a similar formation to ourselves, so a 4-3-3.
00:19:17
Jo
Sorry.
00:19:20
Jo
Mmhmm.
00:19:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I don't know if you can think of any, but any sort of Brentford plays that potentially may give us a bit of a headache, to be honest, I don't think there's any that will, I'm going to say this in them jinxes, aren't I?
00:19:30
Jo
Yep.
00:19:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
<unk> I don't think there's anything there that our players can't handle. Put it that way.
00:19:44
Jo
True. No, you're right.
00:19:46
Jo
You're right.
00:19:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we are talking about a team that absolutely thrashed Leicester at home, which I know and we've just said Leicester on having the greatest season, but
00:19:52
Jo
It did, but it was that Kevin Shade as he called or something?
00:19:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's been a weird season. and Shade, yeah.
00:19:56
Jo
I'm not being funny, I don't actually know a lot about him, so the fact that he got a hat trick, if I played them, but I wouldn't have said prior to the Leicester game, as much as I know about him, that I was overly scared of him yet, as I say, he got the hat tricks, well done I suppose, but it's it's still not someone just because he got a hat trick in that game that I'm going to be scared of.
00:20:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm, yeah.
00:20:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely.
00:20:16
Jo
And Buemo, please say I've said that right, and is someone, I wouldn't mind on our right wing to be fair.
00:20:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yes.
00:20:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
hmm.
00:20:23
Jo
I'm not saying he's a superstar, but he's a good player man.
00:20:26
Jo
I'd be happy with him on our right wing.
00:20:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:28
Jo
and I know there's been talks and there's been links, but there's been links to like a million players for us, so, or with a pinch of salt, I'll be honest.
00:20:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
100 percent.
00:20:34
Jo
But, it was a tough one.
00:20:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:36
Jo
Like he's going to be then going up against Hall, which again, Hall's having a fantastic season.
00:20:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Unbelievable.
00:20:41
Jo
So as much as I like in Bremo and would have him in our team as such, I'm not massively worried. no, it's again, I don't want to jinx us, but I'm not overly scared about massively anyway, about one individual player from Brentford.
00:20:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
worried. Me too.
00:20:55
Jo
Yeah.
00:20:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Me too. Okay, so I think we'll leave part two there. We'll go to our next ad, which will be read out by yours truly. It's from Global Sports Podcast Network.

Cool.
00:21:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so because it's just the two of us, it's quite a short pod.
00:21:37
Jo
All right.
00:21:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I thought we could end it as always with, um with, um I know we've really kind of done this, but what we think we need to do to go and get those three points after the Liverpool game, and we'll do our score predictions, that's what we do on a little rematch preview.
00:21:54
Jo
Don't meet him.
00:21:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I know we've already touched on it, but to get the three points and to get the win, which I'm praying that we can do it, I think we just need
00:22:04
Jo
and
00:22:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
to start the game exactly how we started that Liverpool game. High pressing, confident, fast, work as a team. Yeah. And, you know, if Eddie goes unchanged on the line-up, which I think he probably will, then I don't think there's any reason why we can't do what we've done yes m on Wednesday evening, but obviously get the win.
00:22:25
Jo
Mm hmm.
00:22:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
What are you thinking?
00:22:31
Jo
I agree.
00:22:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:33
Jo
Yeah, ah it like we've just said, we're not massively scared of them. Again, hopes it doesn't jinx us. If we can stay solid at the back, which I would like to think we can, which we have even against Palace, for example, as much as the game didn't go right how we wanted it, we did have a good defensive display.
00:22:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:49
Jo
So, I don't um' I'm gonna say positive. I'm feeling good about it. What I would do is, as much as I wouldn't have an unchanged starting lineup,
00:22:59
Jo
I would maybe, because we've talked about the fact that December's so busy, I would maybe not rest, would bring off some of the bigger players a little bit earlier, try and get more and minutes into Wilson for example, maybe give them half an hour.
00:23:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
A hundred percent. Yeah.
00:23:13
Jo
So it's not the fact that Isaac needs to come out off as such. Well, I hope he's alright. He doesn't have to come off.
00:23:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
About me too.
00:23:19
Jo
But more what I mean is just kind of, yeah, use our subs a bit more efficiently and do give them a little bit more of a rest. I don't know. But if we hit them hard and we can start the game well, get some early goals, it gives us that opportunity to play about with the lineup of it, doesn't it?
00:23:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. A hundred percent.
00:23:37
Jo
So yeah, it's it's it would be interesting. so Obviously your subs are always dependent on how the game's going so far anyway, isn't it?
00:23:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
going.
00:23:44
Jo
and Have we got those early girls?
00:23:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:46
Jo
or we Are we not? And are we really just pushing towards the end, which means the subs then get delayed or don't even happen at all sometimes.
00:23:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:53
Jo
So we'll just see how it goes. But yeah, hopefully it goes to a way where we can use more subs and get more lads rested a little of bit.
00:24:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% I agree. It would be nice to get Wilson on the pitch and get him some minutes in the bank before obviously he breaks again because it's going to happen.
00:24:05
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:11
Jo
Wait a mix.
00:24:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah he's he's a weeabix so yeah it will be nice to get maybe and also i mean ah ah you know but i'm gonna just put a disclaimer out there i'm obviously hopefully joking and not wishing that on him at all we all know what his fitness is like so he's up and down but it would be nice to get his confidence back because let's be honest an injury record like wilson's probably isn't great for his confidence so it would be nice just to get him back on the pitch if we're in a comfortable lead
00:24:39
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah, get him on, get him a runabout and, let's get his confidence back up because when Wilson has his day, he is unstoppable.
00:24:48
Jo
Oh, he's brilliant.
00:24:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah.
00:24:51
Jo
too Cool.
00:24:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. Um, so the final bit is there's just the two of us. So score predictions. What are you going for? I'm scared.
00:25:01
Jo
Well, should we should we input Ian's for him? Because it's so obvious anyway. So it's like he's here, right?
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:07
Jo
So we can pretend he Ian's sitting here.
00:25:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Pretend Dean's chatting.
00:25:09
Jo
Right, girls? Yeah, we'll... So that's 3-1 from Ian.
00:25:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going for a 3-1.
00:25:13
Jo
Right.
00:25:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:14
Jo
I'll predict the 3-1 to Newcastle. Yes. So Ian's put his in. I don't know what Michael's and Kev's would be, to be fair, so that we can't even guess on that one, because they do change it up a bit.
00:25:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:25:24
Jo
I'm gonna go for...
00:25:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Kev will go wild.
00:25:27
Jo
You reckon? I think he's gonna go big.
00:25:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he'll go for like a 4-0. Yeah.
00:25:32
Jo
Yeah, I mean you predicted a 4-0 V. Palace didn't he? It was a palace he predicted a 4-0.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh god.
00:25:37
Jo
I think it was because we all went nuts for Palace didn't we? I think I said 3-0. You said 4-1 or something.
00:25:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
We did.
00:25:41
Jo
Yeah, it all went wrong.
00:25:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I did, yep. It went Peterong, yep.
00:25:45
Jo
It did. So we'll pretend Kev said 4-0. I'm gonna go positive but a little more reserved. I'm gonna go 2-0.
00:25:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah I was going to go 2-1.
00:25:55
Jo
Even more reserved.
00:25:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:57
Jo
But still a win.
00:25:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not sure what Michael would go for.
00:25:58
Jo
course
00:26:00
Jo
What?
00:26:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to guess for Michael. I'll say that Michael is going to go for a 1-0 Newcastle.
00:26:02
Jo
Go now.
00:26:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just a little, just a little, just a little 1-0.
00:26:06
Jo
Sneaky.
00:26:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, just a sneak in.
00:26:11
Jo
Cheeky one.
00:26:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fab shot on 90th minute. Yeah.
00:26:14
Jo
Can you imagine?
00:26:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
Podcast Conclusion
00:26:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. So that is the end of the pod. It is short and sweet from us to, I don't know if Kev's still stuck in traffic.
00:26:23
Jo
No.
00:26:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully he's home safe now, but and that is it. So that is the end of the pod. We will be back on Monday with a brand new episode, which will be the Brentford Review Game.
00:26:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
So let's hope we are recording after a win. So thank you all for listening and we will be back on Monday.
