To follow but Pards is expected to field a weakened side once again, espcially given our passage is secured into the next round.

I'm convinced we will get a draw here. Pards will field a much weakend side so hopefully a lot more fringe players will try to stake their claim, therefore putting in a solid shift.

 

I would like to see him use some of our fringe players here. I have a feeling Pards will start Cisse for this game with Shola, then go with a 433/451 Monday of Marvaux Ba Barfa (if fit).

 

thinking about it I can see it being a good test bes for the Marv/HBA/Cisse combo...

 

We better not play anyone of high importance. We need to get our arses back into shape in the premier league. I consider our chances of winning this competition slim to none anyway due to our pathetic performances in the domestic cups over the last few years.

But it doesn't matter. This game just decides who wins the group. Winning the group shouldn't really matter. We're through and our PL campaign should come first.

 

I hope we just play the reserves **** IT WE ARE THROUGH

 

yep - agree MrT.

It's a good opportunity for some of the outer fringe players to stake their claim.

 

I think this match would be a very poor match to test that formation, we need to protect our remaining attackers as much as humanly possible, especially with HBA just coming back from injury. No need to risk anyone important for this one.

Like Katmandu, I think we should ust go with the reserve side, and maybe give Nil Ranger a go? I hope to see at least two players in the match 18 that I have never heard of!

 

I've just had a call to turn up with my boots.

 

Thats what I like to hear AB. Go get em son!

 

Anything to help the cause.

 

Right im in Essex at the moment with the gf visiting her family, but they don't have ESPN. So im going to have a trip in to london to watch the Newcastle game, but i dunno where might show it.
Does anyone know where i could watch the game in london?

 

Kyle, London is a massive place and I'd say at least 75% of all bars should have the game on.
Just google 'pubs' for the part that you are heading to and ring 2-3 of them.
Job done.

 

PS- I'm also merging this with the main match thread as it should sit there really.

 

Ah cheers was just seeing if anyone knew of any decent ones that might of had a good Newcastle following to.

 

Big pub near KX that tends to show all the footy matches.

 

Would like to see:

-----------Harps------------
Tav--Perch--Dummett--Fergie
-------Bigi---Abeid----------
Amalfitano-----------Sammy
------Ranger--Campbell---

Edit: apparently Dummett on loan... Willo instead? Risky.

 

-----------Harps------------
Tav--Perch--Storey--Dummett
--Bigi---Abeid---Amalfitano--
Sammy----------------Fergie
--------Campbell----------

For me, like everyone else wouldn't risk any first team XI players for this game. Is Campbell fit for this game? If not would whack Shola up top. No idea who i would put on the bench preferably a host of youngsters like Inman, Richardson etc

 

Isn't Campbell injured and Dummet on loan at St. Mirren?

 

Elliott
Tav
Fergie
Willo
Perch
Bigi
Abeid
Amalfitano
Sammy
Moyo
Ranger

Not worth risking anybody bar Willo because we'll have to.

 

Yeah, think Inman is out on loan somewhere too, Crewe?

Would like to see Remi Streete get a game.
