Playing devil's advocate though, what always worries me is if that guy plays a one touch pass in the empty space-- --Then 7 of our players are out of the game with that one pass. Leaving a 3 on 3. I'm always just a bit worried about pressing hard every time, as even if there isn't a direct line of sight pass to a player, there's always a pass free into space for them to bypass our press. Have to figure that over time opposition players will be told to avoid our press by quickly playing it forward into space first time. I'm not sure there's a better way to do it though, and I do love watching our high tempo high pressing approach.

The Championship is a very unpredictable league though and it won't be plain sailing, but they really are very much odds on to go back up I'd imagine.

If he gets them promoted, he's given funds to strengthen and Ashley and Co stay out of his way Rafa could be a hero in Newcastle for years to come. Lot's of if's and but's there though!!
