Humble pie time for me. At this time last year, I’d written him off and he did little for the rest of the season to change my mind.
Different story this season and he’s off to a blinder. Long may it continue.

Ironic thing is there's plenty Peterborough fans round here and my neighbour said Newell was a good footballer who he thought would go onto bigger things if he gets stuck in and gets a run of games.
I'm delighted for the guy as he's looked impressive.

This time last year I wasn't as critical as some about Newell, but that was because I was too busy using him to criticise Heckingbottom for signing someone who claimed to be a central midfielder to play in a wide role.
Means I don't have to eat humble pie on Newell as long as I don't admit that I thought he was a dud player on a par with Vela.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Read his passing accuracy was 85% compared with 84% from the previous one week, not sure how that stacks up with others in his position and how many passes he makes. He does look to make forward passes and not just take it of the CB's and pop it back off to them.
A very good player

Hopefully he’s ok after having to come off. Not his best game today but every good player has an off day.

2 against 3 in the midfield is never easy. Not at his best tonight it wasn’t a game where we were going to be in total control against an energetic side eager to prove themselves.
He always had 2 players around him, as did Boyle and Horgan to an extent but Daryl has his way of wriggling away from situations like that.

Think today he showed a decent defensive side to his game, especially after being booked so early (both CM's booked after 25 minutes must be close to a record, ridiculous yellows I felt). He done well to track back and stand up attackers and force them down other ways with more Hibs bodies. As others have said not his best performance on the ball but I think he showed another side of his game that a few people were questioning he had.
