Match Day Thread Toon v Oxford United / Oxford v Toon

I’d definitely play our full strength. We have a break after this. What’s the point in even competing if we don’t play our first 11? Lozaro and Bentaleb (rose cup tied) need to play 100%. The quicker they get used to this team and the way we play the better, need them to adjust sharpish.

 

As opposed to score I think we will manage 44% possession.

 

Darlow
Schar Lacselles Lejuene
Lazaro Benteleb Longstaff Longstaff Ritchie
Joelinton St Max

 

No Lazaro, so Yedlin will start. Otherwise that's definitely the line-up.

 

Lofty ambitions, mate?

 

Is he injured already?

 

Rose? Lazaro?

 

The way we play??

 

Neither are eligible, it's a replay.

 

There are no restrictions on who can play in a replay as long as they are not cup- tied.



Is there?

 

Yep, neither were registered in time for the 4th round. This is still the 4th round.

 

Yep - just checked the rules. Makes sense I guess.

 

So Lozaro can play in the 5th round IF we were to go through?

 

When

 

Miggy in for Lazaro there, and Ritchie in his crappy defensive role.

8 games unbeaten here we come!

 

Id play almiron, a left footer, on the left. I’d then have Ritchie, right footer, on the right. It’s wildly unconventional, but might just be worth a try.

 

Garbage.

Next you’ll be wanting to play a striker up front. Then what will we do.

 

Hopefully

Newcastle play their fourth game in the FA Cup this season when they face League One side Oxford United in a Fourth Round replay on Tuesday.

It's an 8.05pm kick-off at the Kassam Stadium and the tie will be shown live on BBC1.An outcome must be achieved on the night via 30 minutes extra time or on penalties if required.

Steve Bruce's side have sold their allocation of 1,800 places at the 12,500 capacity, three-sided stadium that opened for business in 2001.

For detail freaks, note that there will two different versions of the match programme (£3) - one for home supporters and one for away followers.

Car parking for Newcastle fans is in the West car park - the one closest to the cinema and bowling complex at the fence end of the ground.

The Magpies haven't made it into the Fifth Round since 2006 and this will be their seventh attempt to do so since winning 2-0 at Cheltenham Town a mere 14 years ago.

At stake for the winners is a Fifth Round visit to Championship side West Bromwich Albion in early March.

NUFC: Deals for Valentino Lazaro and Danny Rose weren't concluded before the first tie with Oxford, meaning that neither can play in this replay.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Steve Bruce said he expected Fabian Schar, Florian Lejeune and both Longstaffs to be in his starting lineup.

Andy Carroll, Dwight Gayle, Yoshinori Muto, Jonjo Shelvey, Paul Dummett, Javier Manquillo and Emil Krafth are all still unavailable.

Missing from the squad for Monday's U23 game were attacker Tom Allan, centre half Ludwig Francillette, left back Liam Gibson and central midfielder Jack Young. It remains to be seen which of them get the call for senior team duty.
