Gordon

A lot of panic here. Gordon loves playing for the Toon - most of our players do. You think his levels aren't at the top because he wants to go back to the city he was chased out of? Get a grip people. He'll get better every week that passes and I do think the lack of pre-season has contributed to his slow start.

Did you watch Gordon in the match earlier?
Have you watched Gordon in the matches for us so far this season?

Because there is a massive difference in Gordon from just last week against Spurs (when he was putting in very little effort) compared to today and 1 weeks difference in fitness does not explain it.

We didn't touch the ball against Southampton, Bournemouth was a poor performance by all (in which Gordon scored for us) and Spurs also played with the majority of the ball.

Once fitness levels are up and we're on the front foot more in games, things will look different. He's also been swapping with Barnes, which can take an adjustment period for the wingers.

No need to panic.
