Looks like you have a fit team and they didnt roll over against one of the stronger teams
I hope you didnt switch off the stream at half time.

How did Ogden look?

No I kept watching, if only to see how much worse we could get ...
But the rest is history. What a staggering display of never say die the lads produced.
Epic defending at times down our right when it looked as though Newcastle would score on half a dozen occasions late on.
I still maintain that we aren't big enough on average, but our hearts certainly are.
Staggering!
I resign.

The two Hull lads were very instrumental in the win after a dodgy start.

Agreed. We knew about Langtree and Wynne looks quite a prospect.

Quite a few comments on the other site giving their opinion that the Dons fitness was the key in the second half. If it was that and what ever was said during the break its hats off to the staff (and players obviously)

It was a damn good win given the first half score.

Newcastle had a couple of fattys. That surprised me

Momentum came into play ... once the seesaw started to tilt ...
The wind was a factor too, both sides got their points with it at their backs.

I have changed my mind about the Dons' prospects.
What are the bookies odds now?

No prizes for guessing what Newcastle will be working on in training next week.

Alex Rowe made 1 big drive but after that didn't see him again .

Bookies have gone quiet. Can't get league 1 odds anywhere. Had a fiver at 8 to one on Skybet. Also fiver for the win at 3 to one yesterday as I thought it was a bit generous. Tbh I thought 8 to 1 for the team finishing behind the 2 promoted ones was a bit rude. But what do I know?

Our forwards might not be the biggest (18.5 stone Connor Scott aside) but they're certainly fit. Wouldn't touch Rowe with a barge pole.
