Newcastle v QPR (MD Thread)

Has to be Ireland V Australia for me. Has the potential to be a cracker.

 

No Isla or Vargas obviously...Ned and Barton in

TEAM NEWS: @eduvargas_17 missing owing to the birth of his baby daughter. Congratulations, Eduardo! #NEWvQPR

 

Think that look like a solid and physical side to me. A hard fought win wouldn't go amiss

 

A hard fought draw would be pretty good...

 

Fer's going to need to get closer to BZ and Charlie a lot more than he has in recent games to make up for lack of Vargas

Also Isla a miss going forward. If we go behind that team will struggle to create chances

 

Good strong bench, got options to swap most positions.
Off to local as they are streaming the game for me as Hull not on till Sunday.
2-1 will be a great result but will take a draw

 

What's wrong with Isla?

There's not much of an outlet there apart from the long ball up to OBZ.

Don't like it much.
Fer won't help Yun and he and Barton will tuck inside to give us no width at all.

I can't see us getting anything with that side. Hope I'm wrong!

 

Not overly impressed with lineup too! Setting up not to get beaten.

 

Yep, that's how i see it. Plenty of options on the bench though.

 

Good luck lads n lasses.


Just not for today though, eh!

 

3-4-1-2 when we have the ball, Fer in behind the front two while Yun pushes up?

 

Are you feeling confident, Obi?

 

Subs: McCarthy, Traore, Phillips, Isla, Mutch, Kranjcar, Hoilett.
Strong bench

 

You can never be confident of a win as a Toon fan.

We've had some good form, but with Colo, Saylor, Tiote & Abeid all now missing (as well as our longer term absentees) we are seriously lacking in central areas. So I do have some concerns.

Willo & Dummett are not the right style match to contain the likes of Austin. If Colo were playing, I'd be a lot happier. We shall see. But confident? No. I'd happily take a draw.

 

Congratulations to Vargas on the birth of his daughter, but please be back for our next game.

 

Couldn't she cross her legs for 24hrs.
Come on, we've all done it.
It's called taking one for the team love.
Congratulations.
