Match Preview/Stats/Thread: Newcastle Utd v West Brom
By Tyne-Talk
November 29 2013
Newcastle host on the back of three consecutive wins from their last six games, having lost another two and drawn just once. Their win against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend put them up into 8th in the League ahead of the North London side. West Brom travel on the back of four draws, one win and one defeat from their last six and will be looking for three points this weekend to break into the top half of the table.
Newcastle will welcome back Mathieu Debuchy from suspension and Pardew has a fully fit squad (excluding Ryan Taylor) which is almost unheard of.
West Brom had expected to have Liam Ridgewell (calf), Billy Jones (hamstring), Scott Sinclair (hamstring) back but manager Steve Clarke has refused to confirm whether they will return or not, increasing speculation that they some if not all may not be fit in time for the game. Ben Foster (foot) is definitely unavailable.
Fact: Loic Remy has scored 8 goals in 8 games for Newcastle United.
Fact: West Brom have lost just once in 9 games.
Fact: Newcastle Utd and West Brom are the only 2 teams in the Premier League to have a 0 goal difference ahead of this weekend.

4 minutes of added time, really?
That's 8 minutes for the whole game - a game with no injuries to speak of

Yeah - i didnt see 8 min of added time..
Nice win, and a good performance and workrate allround.. I have to say,
Williamson is gaining some respect from me (not that he really cares), but the lats couple of matches, he have done what he can. Dont take any chances, play some really intelligent football, and doesnt try to do anything stupid. If he is under pressuure, he plays the ball long to Ameobi. Its nice to see.

Well played again, hopefully we can start having a little measured optimism around here 
woot we are doing a grand job, let the good times roll. I do think the Swansea and Ma U games will be challenging to say the least but that's what the media thought of our last 4 games so there you go. I do feel as if we are only just away form a dodgy ref decision though, some of the refs atm are truly shocking imo, every ref there gets drawn for our matches draws a grown from me.

I think the main reason we have won the last few games is having Ameobi as Remy's strike partner. He is a big presence in attack and defence.

shola and remy have formed a great partnership but saying that tiote and cabayes partnership is vastly improving.
Williamson is slowly edging himself into being first choice cb and gouff is starting to show that he was a great buy.
Its great to finally have a midfield who are going to chip in with goals and have a few players on the pitch who are going to attack the ball at corners, two things we've been missing the last few seasons

I'm still not entirely convinced by Williamson (though credit where it's due - he's found his circle of competence and is benefiting from it) but he's demonstrated he is not a waste of a squad space.
Shola I feel that while there are players who can do better in his position that aren't unobtainable, he's doing the job that's asked of him well. Even if he still does still have his "Believe it or not" montage moments.
Despite these two players being what I would consider below average in terms of ability in the Premiership, they've shown that they can work to benefit the team.
Dare I say, Pardew is actually making some good tactical decisions in terms of defining the players roles?

its coming from being able to play players in their positions, every player except sissoko is playing in their preffered position and doing their preffered role unlike last season where it was the opposite.
