Reasons to be hopeful despite dropped points? - Boxing Day preview, a good time to play Man Utd and injury latestNUFC Blogcast returns as Ed and Ollie dissect Newcastle’s 2–2 draw with Chelsea at St James’ Park – a game that somehow managed to sum up the entire season in 90 minutes. They break down a brilliant first half, another lead thrown away, and the controversial penalty that never was, plus what it all says about Eddie Howe’s side heading into the new year.The lads pick out the big performances from Nick Woltemade, Lewis Hall, Lewis Miley, Anthony Gordon and more, and ask what’s going wrong with Newcastle’s mentality, clean sheets, and game management from winning positions. There’s chat on Nick Pope vs Ramsdale, whether a season with a trophy but a bottom-half finish would count as a success, and how worried to be about Elanga’s form.Then it’s onto Boxing Day at Old Trafford: a full preview of Man United v Newcastle, including injuries, key battles, why this might be the perfect time to play them, likely line-up, and Ollie’s score prediction. Plus some festive Patreon questions – including Secret Santa for Bruno and Jason Tindall.--------------JOIN OUR PATREON for so much moreFollow us on Twitter/X @nufcblogcastPlease consider giving us a good review if you enjoy what you hear!See all our episodes here - https://shows.acast.com/nufcblogcast Hosted on Acast.
