City were robbed of a point today at the death in a game that could only be described as "Laughably poor" at St. James Park.

With City still trying to get a win before the end of the season in a bid to end the worst run of defeats in City's history a point today at Newcastle would have been just the tonic to relive some of the pressure that is now mounting on Peter Taylor.

Unfortunately it was not to be after a deflected shot from Newcastle's Carl Cort in stoppage time gave the Geordies all three points.

It was a cruel blow for City who must have thought that a point was theirs even though the fourth official added on an amazing four minutes of time despite the second half being relatively incident free.

City must again look at the strikeforce in order to find the reasons for this defeat with Ade Akinbiyi spurning every chance that came his way leading even his strongest supporters calling him "A donkey".

Add that along with Cort's injury time shot that hit Rowett and went in past an outstretched Tim Flowers and you have a recipe for another afternoon of distress for City fans.

The only small piece of comfort for City fans is the return to form of Tim Flowers who, after being out of the squad for sometime with injury, beat Simon Royce to play today and pulled off a string of fine saves that kept the scoreline small.

With City now official in the middle of the worst run of results ever fans are no longer interested in excuses and even though Izzet, Elliott, Taggart and Savage were all absent through injury City must do better or Mr Taylor could find that the only job that he has left is his England one.

Maybe he knows that because at the end he made the players come over and bow to the City fans. But a bit of humility is not enough at the moment and what City fans want is goals, points and more goals. If not then the top priority will be a head and if I was Peter Taylor I'd keep a good eye on mine.
