This game is as much (if not more) about the performance as/than the result. If we see genuine signs of a more structured and organised defence then there is hope for Sage's future. Having said that, Sunday is more about the result as Newcastle are a team we should be beating given their own problems ans so a win, however, earned is more needed, Obviously a good performance and further evidence of defensive improvement would be nice to see.
I would be delighted if we got something out of tonight's game. To do that we need to keep the Besiktas fans quiet (relatively speaking) by not conceding in the first half - a tall order, I know.
