    Personally I'd go with

    Nick Pope GK
    Levermento at LB
    Botman at CB
    Schar at CB
    Trippier at RB
    Bruno CM
    Willock CM
    Lonstaff CM
    Miggy RW
    Gordon LW
    Isak CF

    Dubravka
    Hall
    Burn
    Joelinton
    Barnes
    Murphy
    Wilson

    Unfortunately, this is not currently possible <laugh>

    Murphy!
    A fully fit squad and you'd have Murphy.
    This is why you're NOT the manager.
    We need to have a chat in private. <laugh>

    Ah, OK. I'll maybe let him off.
    Although I'd maybe have Miley in the squad.

    What I would’ve done differently is bought players for the first team, not subs/yourh; then slightly amend the style of play from 100mph pressing to elements of counter attack and through improving the first XI would have more than likely have had the quality to control matches rather than chase them.

    Better still. Change the white stripes to black and the black stripes to white. Then we can play in white and black stripes. The exact opposite to the first strip.

    Interesting, with Forest winning, and Luton ahead now, this is looking bad for Everton, esp with them playing City tomorrow

    Tbh 40 points will be Newcastles target come February.

    Car crash season due to poor management and recruitment.

    Excuse me but you're the one that was adamant we'd finish top 5.... looks like you'll lose to me wise guy.

    Look at the table and then consider where Newcastle will be after the next month.

    Come February it's going to be about getting to 40 points then reevaluation.

    Form will be 9 losses in 10 ... that's so bad.

    Once you've got relegation form of 9 losses in 10 with only 29 points after almost 3/4 of a season it becomes the next target. Well after getting a win anyway.

    I wasn't adamant, I said we had a chance.

    Doesn't make you any less of a 'tard for suggesting our target for the season is now 40 points.
