The Telegraph has these as line-ups. Is Brady fit? Newcastle United (Possible, 4-3-3): Krul; Debuchy, Coloccini, Yanga-Mbiwa, Santon; Anita, Sissoko, Cabaye; Ben Arfa, Cissé, Rémy. Out: Gutierrez, S Taylor (both hamstring), R Taylor (knee), Sh Ameobi, Williamson (both unspecified). Hull City (Possible, 4-3-2-1): McGregor; Elmohamady, Chester, Davies, Rosenior; Quinn, Huddlestone, Livermore; Aluko, Brady; Sagbo. Out: Dudgeon (unspecified), Koren (foot), Figueroa (personal), McShane (hamstring). Referee: Martin Atkinson. Matches: 3. R0 Y7. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...wcastle-United-v-Hull-City-match-preview.html
Koren - McShane - Dudgeon - Figueroa ALL out injured. Mclean also injured. Same team as last week with Rosie in for Figs and Quinn in for Koren imo. Faye - Prozzy and Sagbo on the bench.
Not rosey as LB, he's **** at LB, we lose a whole load of attacking width when he plays there. 3 at the back will do nicely.
Can't see the point of playing Elmo in a back 4 when he was responsible for two goals on poor coverage already. Would rather see Brady (or even Bruce!) back there if Dudgeon's hamstring keeps him out. McGregor Rosenior Chester Davies Brady Elmo Livermore Huddlestone Quinn Graham Aluko
For me there's no point dropping Graham as any bit of confidence would finally be shot, & he will want to do well against them & prove a point IMO. Also bringing Faye straight into any team would not be worthwhile as he's only just returning from injury, if Brady's fit then stick him at LB if not the I'd put Quinn there, I recall he played there at some point while with Sheffield Utd, I think someone put that when we first signed him. Although I assume SB will stick Rosie at LB & maybe move a CB to RB, which would be Bruce or Chester, although the sensible thing to do would have been to work with Elmo all week on defending & keep him at RB.
Not at all. Only Robbie Brady is a doubt and Steve Bruce told Burnsy that he expects him to be fit in time. Gedo may get a run out in the Udders game on tuesday. Good game to test just how fit Gedo actually is.
