Match Day Thread Newcastle United vs Watford

3.00pm (9.00pm WIB) 31st August 2019
St James Park
Newcastle Upon Tyne​

A chance to pick up 3 home points against the only team that has made a worse start to the season than us.

First of all what do the experts think.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to contact either Chaos or Pouchy so you will have to make do with Mark Lawrenson and Steven Fry.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1
It was a great win for Newcastle at Tottenham and what I would say to Newcastle fans is just support the team. Steve Bruce got a great result at Spurs, get behind him. I have really liked what I have seen of Joelinton and Miguel Almiron. If they get the service they look like they can score goals.

For Watford, it is played three, lost three. I don't think they will win this one but I don't think they will be bottom of the table for too long.

Stephen's (Fry) prediction: 0-0

And our injury situation:


So suspect we will start:
Dubravka
Manquillo
Schar
Lascelles
Dummett
Atsu
Longstaff
Hayden
Shelvey
Almiron
Joelinton

For Watford Deeney is out.

Reckon we will sneak this one but it will be close and it won't be pretty.

Given that he scored on Weds, I can see Muto getting a start - no point in risking players if we don't need to (ASM on Sat) - Joelinton on the bench for me

 

Fancy 1-1

 

Far too much info to read. Can someone tell me the day and time of kick off as I'm going to this one.

Oh and 2-2

 

I thought maybe Muto but instead of Shelvey. In my line up. Joelinton can have a rest next weekend when its an International Break.

 

Can you report on the state of the toilets now then.

 

Mark Lawrenson is a weapons grade knob.

We'll win 2-1 - Joelinton and Almiron scoring for us.

HWTL

 

Nah mate as i’ll Be in the play club with Baz.

My observations were based on L7

 

So exactly what Lawrenson said then.

 

Not in so many words, i do agree with his prediction tho, that's about as far as it goes.

 

4-0 win. Joelinton 2, Almiron 1 and a booming header from Fabian.

 

You on drugs mate?
Just say no. Follow Zammo’s lead.

 

I reckon we'll get a draw... Two struggling sides who look bereft of ideas and desperately need points... Has 5-5 written all over it

 

No almiron no ritchie no kraft joel a doubt

0-1 warford

 

0-0 it is then

 

Almiron is out

 

Wrong already almiron is out

 

NUFC: Miguel Almiron, Joelinton, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Jetro Willems all trained on Friday

 

doesn't mean they are ok ive heard otherwise but hoping its gamesmanship

 

looking forward to the match
