It will be 4-4-2 Bobby first name on the teamsheet, who plays with him 90% AJ, 10% Remy (sub) Defence locked down, until Dunne and Traore (if we have him) are fit. Midfield - likely Henry and Granero in the centre. My preference would be Faurlin/Jenas, a combination we have not seen, but both seem out of favour. SWP and Hoilett seem the only choices out wide. Wild card - Barton somewhere. Any kind of win would make me happy, but I have no idea what mood this team will be in.
You could be halfway to the truth there DT. Although there were reports that Remy was in Newcastle yesterday, he and Adel were actually training with the first team.
I bet half this lot were demanding 100 bags of gummy bears per week just for a kick about down the park.
I hope I'm not putting a jinx on this but I think it will be a draw, 1 - 1. I can't see us setting the league alight this early into the season, it will come though. Goals by Maguire and Onuoha.
I honestly have no idea what Harry will come up with. Obviously he'll play his favourite carthorse Zamora, but after that, I really can't guess other than a fairly obvious back 4 if Dunne isn't fit.
Would love to see an opening day victory, but I feel we will lack any creativity and therefore, plug for a 0-0 draw.
As said above...very little creativity but fairly solid back row....so either 1-0 or 2-1 (following a Green gaff). To score AJ...who I do think is up for it....and given a run of no injuries, could set the league on fire (OK not fire...more a warm ember ish sort of glowing coal)
It's time to have our cake and eat it!! I'm fully looking forward to a 3-1 victory here followed by much nonchalant hands in pockets shoulder shrugging by the President Redknapp in the post-match interviews. Saturday will be a good day. Onster Bonster Monster!!

Subs? Murphy, Dunne, Ehmer, Sutherland, Faurlin, Derry Agree with that likely starting team selection - I predict 3-1 R's (Johnson, Hoilett, Mbia) - Get in there!
