Predictions Newcastle United v Norwich City

Evening guys

If we defend anything like we have lately you'll get a hat full !
Our Defence hasn't been our strongest point all season, but it did get alot better for a while, but against Wigan last Sunday it was not pretty.
Our saving grace was that we didn't have to much trouble in finding the net, but even that has slowed down recently with Morison suffering from a dip in form.
Lets just hope for a good game of football not ruined by the ref !

 

I'll settle for that, I think the game down at your place was the worst one I've ever seen.

 

Apparently Simpson, Raylor and Tiote are all out meaning we will have the predictable line up of:

left------------KRUL---------right
SANTON COLO WILLO PERCH
GUTI GUTHRIE CABAYE BEN ARFA
----------CISSE------ BA---------

Giving us a decent threat going forward but a poor defensive mentality.

NEW 3-2 NOR

 

The last I heard was that Tiote and Simpson were fit enough to play. What time did you hear they were out?

 

5-1 Toon, I can't see us keeping a clean sheet either!

 

This afernoon

 

Damn, not good then. Just what we didn't need.

 

Cant see us getting anything at your gaff so i would take a draw and scarper.

 

Seem to remember Wolves saying the same and they drew 2-2.

 

I expect us to lose 0-2 to be honest.

They will probably pass us off the park and we have been really bad at late.

My prefered team:

Krul
Simpson (need a new RB in the summer)
Collo
Williamson
Santon
Guthrie
Cabaye
Ben Arfa
Gutierrez
Cisse
Ba

I just hope that we do not go negative and play side-ways passing players

 

You at the game on Sunday cbra?

 

Yep, me missing the Sunderland game was a one off.

 

Squad: Still missing are Sammy Ameobi, Steven Taylor, Sylvain Marveaux, Leon Best, Nile Ranger & Peter Lovenkrands, while news is awaited on Ryan Taylor, who was absent at Arsenal due to an unspecified injury. Steve Harper is now back in training after a knee injury.

Both Cheick Tiote and Danny Simpson picked up knocks during the second half at the Emirates on Monday, but both are expected to be available for this weekend.

This is was what I picked up yesterday.

 

Norwich fan in peace gents. Kudos for your season so far- I think you've been refreshing to the league.

Really looking forward to tomorrow's game- saw one of your posters reckoned we'd park the bus. I can honestly say that in the two and half years as Norwich manager, Lambert has never once played for a draw. Obviously draws happen, but I've never seen us do that (our defence probably isn't good enough anyway!) So hopefully that will encourage you to thinking it will be a good game.

It'll be interesting as we've both suffered a dip in form and Lambert will definitely see this as winnable, though I'm not confident. Having seen both defences and heard you've got some problems at full backs, I can see this being a very high scoring game again. Also, I saw a stat that says we haven't won in 14 league matches that we've played on a Sunday, so stats are on your side!

We've tended to turn up and play hearts out against the teams higher in the table, but not often taken the points, so my head says a 3-2 Newcastle win and it'll be a very good end-to-end match. I think with a bit of luck we could steal a high-scoring draw though.

What's this? I can understand that you thought your performance wasn't top notch, but it was a great game, loads of goals and you never looked out of it with several comeback moments. Or are you talking about the ref? He did absolutely nothing wrong in the game I thought, hadn't even heard it mentioned tbh. The reason you lost, as said above, was an injury hit defence being bullied, nothing to do with the ref. I think with your proper centre-backs in we're in for a much closer game

 

Bloody hell, almost forgot he existed for a while.
