I know it's early, but TEAM FOR NEWCASTLE

[davieqpr]

Agree with that side. For some reason Nervous Ned will never be dropped even though everyone knows that at sometimes he's going to switch off.
In no mans land for first goal and another time ducked to let ball go out of play and let it hit his back for a corner.

Perch Ned Lynch Bidwell

Mackie Newbie.

Not sure why people want Goss in the team straight away against a side who beat us 6-0...the lad has never played a competitive game.

Smithies
Furlong Ned Lynch Bidwell
Perch (in place of Hall who has done his Achilles)
Luongo and Manning
Pawel and Lua Lua
Mackie

So Matt Smith straight in!

Can't play 2 in the middle as Shelvey will tear us a new one like he did at HQ.

Neither had Manning 4 weeks ago and he's our best player now.

If the kids fit and he's good enough stick him on from the start. We are truly shocking in the Centre

Good point, however don't think we should have two inexperienced players playing in arguably the most important part of the field against Newcastle

Assuming Hall and Sylla are injured...and ofcourse if we can get Ravel in!

That's a fair point but who else? Perch is a shout but he's brainless and a red card walking. Henry is dross.

We are pretty limited with CMs as it stands.

Don't think it's a game for Morrison or Freeman (if they sign, and if Freeman can play CM?)

I would put Perch/Luongo on Shelvey the whole game. Let Manning do what he's been doing. Perch would be able to drop in to CB like Hall has been doing as well (not as effectively no doubt).

Shame about Borysiuk, thought he might be able to do a job on Shelvey

Perch will be redcarded in 10 mins if he's on Shelvey. Jonjo will make mincemeat of Luongo.

Manning has to do the job. He's got needle as well as an engine, Shelvey wont like him at all. It's all about who else plays in there and options are limited unfortunately.

[Ginger Ninja]

Christ I must've been watching a different game on Saturday if people are saying Ned did well. He was farking useless.

[SpongeParr]

Anyone know how many we sold? I would say 400 max? I can't wait though! Hall being injured will mess up our tactics though, as we will set up like we did against Reading.

[Cjskinz]

Agree Perch is a liability but think he would do the best job covering Hall. We don't have anyone else to play there other than Goss, and think it would be very unfair to throw the lad in against the best team (and best midfielder) in the league
