Consecutive victories for the first time this season, an unchanged team, six goals, two clean sheets …
Was that sound something clicking for #NUFC?

It’s your PoTT matchday pod!
#NUFC beat Forest 2-0: it’s 2 wins in a row, another clean sheet & momentum heading into the international break. Eddie Howe calls it “huge, huge” which is pretty huge.

Interesting description. You failed to mention the finish in it, though.

📝 #NUFC 2-0 #NFFC analysis w/ @georgecaulkin.bsky.social: #NEWNFO www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...
Full-time: #NUFC 2-0 #NFFC
Very important win for #NUFC heading into international break.
Laboured through 1st half, had chances to score more in 2nd as game opened up.
Guimaraes' solo goal crucial, Woltemade's pen emphatic. Another clean sheet.
2 big wins in 5 days.

90: #NUFC subs - Woltemade & Joelinton are replaced by Osula & Miley.

#NUFC 2-0 #NFFC
Woltemade takes the penalty this time with no Gordon on the pitch & converts emphatically.
Anderson was booked for his foul on Guimaraes.
#NEWNFO
Penalty Newcastle. Anderson concedes it on Guimaraes.

70: #NUFC subs - Gordon & Elanga are replaced by Barnes & Murphy.

#NUFC 1-0 #NFFC
#NUFC needed a moment of inspiration - & Guimaraes has certainly provided it. Quite the goal, this.
#NFFC are furious because Gibbs-White was down after Guimaraes & Burn tackle him, Burn gives it to Guimaraes, who curls beyond Sels from 22 yards.
#NEWNFO
Goal! Guimaraes!
#NEWNFO #NUFC #NFFC
We're back under way at St James' Park, where it's goalless after the first half.
No changes for either side at the break.
#NEWNFO #NUFC #NFFC
Half-time: #NUFC 0-0 #NFFC
Another difficult half for #NUFC in attack. Creativity still lacking. Few clear-cut chances & Woltemade isolated again.
#NFFC's 3 big centre-halves quite happy to defend crosses from wide. #NUFC most dangerous when Gordon is coming inside.
#NEWNFO
We're under way at St James' Park, where #NUFC are hosting #NFFC in their final match before the October international break.
#NUFC are shooting towards the Leazes End during the first half.
#NEWNFO
#NUFC are unsurprisingly unchanged following the midweek Champions League win.
Woltemade, Elanga & Gordon again the front three, with Burn at left-back.
No Lewis Hall or Jacob Ramsey on the bench.
#NEWNFO #NFFC
#NUFC subs vs #NFFC: Ramsdale, Schar, Lascelles, Krafth, Willock, Miley, Barnes, Murphy, Osula

#NUFC XI vs #NFFC: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon

It's always more extreme up there, I find. We used to head up for rugby matches - it'd be sunny down the valley, then snowing up there...

Haha we'll attempt to answer any we can!

We also say “in terms of” a lot. SORRY DAN.

Last two seasons I think there has been mitigation of two turbulent summers. This time in particular, a different profile of striker & a new way of playing.
Also Howe tends to make tweaks to how the team plays during pre-season, which probably takes time to bed in.
But it does need improving upon.
