Going to be a frosty game this. Blood and thunder for 10-15 minutes. Crowd are going to be more fired up than anything seen in a while. Hugely important not to let Newcastle get a head of steam up - imagine will be back to the walls for a bit. Even if we do get a goal or two, any kind of Newcastle goal will get them fully back up for it. If we win, can see it being a 3-2 4-2 or 4-3 type game.
Real danger of being completely outrun in midfield again this evening. Any chance the ref will actually book Joelinton for any of the 10 or so bookable offences he'll commit tonight?
Big game for Ekitike imo. He will play a vital role in transition assuming we can get the ball to him.
Robbo experience Elliott creativity New GK Chiesa forward option Gomez experience versatile Bradley RB attacking aggressive What do you want exactly? Rio exciting youngster
We can take Jones off already anyway Absolutely off the pace so far. But seriously this is no night for weak kneed little boys. Elliott hasn't got it in him to front up to this lot.
