This will be a good test of where we are at the moment I think, we're up against a good Newcastle side, but a Newcastle side with injuries, which should hopefully mean we go for it as we did against City. Poch(more or less) said we went for it against City. Why would we do otherwise against Newcastle? - unless he is was giving a reason why we got an expected good result that he wants credit for. If we 'go for it' against Newcastle I will start to believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's as much about if 'the opposition go for it', as it is about if we do. If they sit in, we'll struggle - as is usual. I am hoping that them being at home will result in them coming out to play, but Howe is pragmatic first and idealistic some way down the line after pragmatism and will do what's necessary to win the game.

thevelourfog Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 This feels like quite a big game the nearer we get to it. We haven't yet beaten a decent team this season. We should, in terms of morale, be on a bit of a crest of a wave and coming up against an injury depleted team who may be focused elsewhere. I think we're going to be up and down all season in results at least so I don't sense much of a chance to put a marker down in that sense, but perhaps a chance to not have the bubble so immediately burst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 An old school mate and Toon Fanatic of many years has just emerged from choky for something quite unrepeatable, and I expect will be at St James’ Park. We no longer speak. For his sake ….. I hope we thrash them within an inch of their lives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Barring any change the the injury status of our players, which with the way this season is gone, change is highly likely, I think the team pretty much stays the same. Sanchez James - Disasi - Silva - Cucurella Enzo - Caicedo - Gallagher Palmer - Jackson - Sterling The bench, now finally starts to look strong again (hopefully): Petrovic, Badiashile, Colwill, Maatsen, Ugochukwu, Mudryk, Madueke, Nkunku, Broja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Up to nine on the bench, five of whom can be used. The substitutions have to be done in up to three tranches. Subs made at half-time do not count as a separate tranche. By the way, I have changed my profile photo in preparation for this game.

Max Fowler Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This is a big game but Newcastle won't exactly play like City. I expect given their injury crisis they might actually play on the counter as it suits the crowd. We should win given their injuries but wouldn't be surprised if we lost if they turn up.

Sorry Kev - not letting you be the grumpmeister general on this one. Nkunku is going to transform our team. From Caicedo to Enzo to Jackson. He will glue everything together and bang.

I I would imagine Gusto goes in for Maatsen and Lava in for Ugochukwu once they are both fully fit and that would be about it for us in terms of full strength. It's all very young and lacking in experience, but it's starting to look a lot better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
