    It wouldn't matter one 1 iota if we had a winter break because all the clubs would be going to far flung places and play friendlies. With all the travel and matches what rest would our players get.

    Interesting formation! Playing a 3-5-2. Interesting to see Gini and Sissoko in central midfield! Good to see Mbabu playing as well!

    taken from nufc.co.uk http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20160109/watford-v-newcastle-one-change_2281670_5260881

    Newcastle are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper Rob Elliot behind a back three ofChancel Mbemba, captain Fabricio Coloccini andPaul Dummett.

    Daryl Janmaat and Mbabu will take up roles as wing-backs, with Moussa Sissoko, Cheick Tioteand seven-goal leading scorer Georginio Wijnaldum patrolling the middle of the park.

    And in the final third, Spanish starlet Ayoze Perex and Serbian international Aleksandar Mitrovic are paired together once again.

    On a strong substitutes' bench there are places for Siem de Jong, Florian Thauvin, Yoan Gouffran, Ivan Toney, Jamaal Lascelles, Jamie Sterry, Karl Darlow.

    Will today be the day we finally win an away FA Cup tie. Since Ca$hley took over we have not won an away tie.

    Thought Aarons would have been on the bench for a 20 min run out.

    That must be our strong side. Obvious that Stevie contributes to this forum as the wing back idea has been suggested here repeatedly. So what is Stevie's user name? My gut says he is DPP as he is the only one retaining an element of positivity. However my heart would like it to be BRS.

    Not me as I would have been playing this formation before Haidara was injured!

    -------------------Elliot---------------
    -----Mbemba---Colo---Dummett-------
    -Janmaat--Sissoko-Tiote-Wijnaldum-Mbabu
    -----------------Perez--Mitro---------------

    This formation is either going to rape Watford or it's going to fail miserably.

    Even if we fail today, we have to surely give Steve some credit for coming out with a formation many of us have been crying out for. I genuinely hope it works and we tank Watford today.

    PS. I can't be Steve McClaren - I'm Lee Charnley.

    On the upside - its the first matchday I can remember that I haven't seen us make a mistake in the first 10 minutes!
