Match Day Thread F A Cup Rochdale v Toon

So that's the Longstaff brothers out as well

 

I'd guess at a line up something like this with the injuries we have:

Darlow,
Krafth Fernandez Dummett Watts
Sung-yeung S.Longstaff M.Longstaff
Muto Gayle Atsu

Elliot, Lejuene, Yedlin, Hayden, Ritchie, Carroll, Joelinton

Maybe see a few other youngsters in there instead of Dummy and/or Fernandez as they shouldn't really be risked but if we are taking it seriously that's pretty much the line up I'd expect to see.

 

rafa was on a different level than our current manager

Was he ****.

 

Of course, if Brucie does a Rafa, we will certainly lose.

 

Pretty much agree with that, except this is a game for Almiron to finally produce a bit, given that Ritchie is nearly back and will replace him in the first team.

 

Bruce would be wise to get us eliminated asap.. hes ran our squad into the ground

 

I was thinking do you give Joelinton a run out for this exact reason but if he doesn't manage a goal vs Rochdale it could do more damage than just leaving him out!

Almiron I think is hard working enough to get by without the goals and assists if he keeps putting in the dirty yards and making the amount of tackles he does. Ritchie and him on the wings would be great if we are playing a "top 6" team or seeing out a game as their work rate is phenomenal but agree Ritchie actually provides assists and a few penalty goals so will be straight back in the team once fit.

 

glad i missed out on a ticket, nothing to be gained and everything to lose.

 

welcome to the forum

Welcome to the real world of NUFC
it could be a lot worse
check out Dortys Warm Glow Thread to keep you smiling

 

You do realise that to get these tickets you actually have to apply for them. If you "missed out" this would suggest you applied but were unsuccessful in your application for the tickets. This in turn would suggest you are stark raving mad to want to get up early to travel to Lancashire on a Saturday morning to see us play at the moment. Which, in turn, means you will probably fit in perfectly here. Welcome.

 

Bruce will go with as strong a team as possible tomorrow imho:

Darlow
Krafth
Fernandez
Dummett
Watts
M.Longstaff
S.Longstaff
Atsu
Almiron
Gayle
Carroll

 

Isn't Watts out on loan?

 

He is indeed -at Stevenage.
Think he must have meant Cass.

 

Apologies, yes Cass at full back. You just know this game is going to be ****ing horrible to be involved in.

 

welcome mate.

 

7am start tomorrow.

Too early. Can’t be drinking cans whilst it’s dark in the morning.

 

Have a good ‘un.

 

Its da magic of the FA Cup. Big side away to a minnow. Should be a cracking game. I think we should play St Maximin. Lazy bastard hasn't played for weeks.

 

away days oh how I’ve missed you...
