Fire with fire - either we will win or lose 5-0

 

Might as well go for broke.

 

LJ has promised to put out an energetic side. Well there we go then.....

 

I like it, you start O'Neil but you have O'Neil on the bench to come on when he tires.

THAT IS AN ATTACKING SIDE.... FIRE WITH FIRE! FURNACE WITH FURNACE more like

 

• Newcastle are unbeaten in their last eight league games against Bristol City (W4 D4).

• The Robins have won just once away to Newcastle in the English Football League (D5 L6), failing to score in each of the last five.

• Only Rotherham United have won fewer points away from home in the Championship this season than Bristol City.

• The Magpies have conceded just six goals in their last 10 league matches at home.

• Newcastle United have scored the first goal of a Championship game on 26 occasions this season; six times more than any other team.

 

watch us win 0-2! personally think we had no chance before I saw those stats. No one gave us a chance at Derby so who knows what to expect

 

Sometimes a team with nothing to lose plays with a freedom and without fear.
If LJ says to the lads 'well boys, just play whatever formation you want and enjoy the game' they might just deliver him a surprise.

 

Could have rush back goalie as well, I used to like that as a kid

I for one will be looking forward to this "energetic" line up Johnson said he'll put out

 

Gefier, Vyner, Flint, Wright, Bryan, Cotterill, O'Neil, Reid, K.Smith, O'Dowda, Wilbraham.

subs Fielding, Magnusson, Hegeler, Pack, Paterson, Tomlin, Taylor.

One up front and the oldest player in the squad

 

useful looking bench

 

team = ????
what a surprise, is it a "well we cant win here so lets experiment"?
3 attackers, 2 midfield 1 defender on the bench.... no Djuric?

 

No GUOFFRAN DIAME GAYLE in starting line up otherwise normal team

 

Cricket score today

 

There's tinkering but that is wholesale changes. Djuric is injured it seems, so see the logic of using Wilbs, but who is playing off of him??Also looks like a very clear message to Matthews, Golbourne not in squad either. Seems a bit harsh on Brownhill. Thought he has been alright lately
