How is R.Jones playing for Scunny? He had a really good season at Hibs last year. Useless for the first few games. Came out and said that he was struggling to adapt to the pace of the Championship compared to the SPL. Then he headbutted a post, missed a game or two, and he's been rock solid since. Man of the match yesterday; won absolutely everything in the air. As I said, he really does get turned too easily. Luckily Mirfin has the "Carvalho" talent of making last ditch tackles.

Scunny's centre backs get turned far far too easily. The best way to play against them is a nippy forward playing right on their shoulder. As for the earlier question; Sharp and Keogh never played together at Championship level, so it's hard to compare. Hayes and Hooper are a top partnership, but not that great without the other. Scunny have no depth whatsoever, so if either Hayes or Hooper miss the game, Newcastle's defence won't have a great deal to worry about (Forte is RUBBISH). I'm kinda hoping Butt plays, as I'll be pretty much at pitch side (by the way, if you haven't been to Glanford Park before, the fans are VERY close to the pitch) and I wanted to have a quiet word with him

To be fair, last time Scunny were in the Championship, most games were sellouts. They (we ) were a league two club a few years back. Are you a Scunthorpe fan? Yep. What brought you here? Seems random. Originally? Been a fan since 1982. Something to do with a certain Kevin Keegan. I follow Scunthorpe because they're my home team, and I've never really (until now!) seen a problem with supporting the two teams.

Really can't see the players enjoying playing at Glanford Park. There's no width at all though, so that's perfect for Hughton's long ball game. Just a shame for Newcastle that Rob Jones has started winning absolutely everything in the air. Scunthorpe's weakest position is right back, so Jonas needs to play. Jonas vs Cliff Byrne is no contest tbh. The main thing in Newcastle's favour is that they're not going to take anyone lightly anymore, following the last 3 games. I think if they go into the game thinking they'll walk right through Scunny they're in for a massive shock. O'Connor, McCann, Togwell and Wright are a much better midfield than Guthrie, Smith, Nolan and Lovenkrands. Newcastle will tear Scunny apart at home, but it's anyone's game on Tuesday.

Said earlier on. I've watched both teams today, and Newcastle have no chance on Tuesday. Scunthorpe's midfield > Newcastle's midfield We have no chance against Scunthorpe? Righto go back to the rubber room now mate. You watched both teams today then did you? Don't be so fucking daft. So what are you basing your argument on? Sorry, I'll reword, just for those people who don't understand the obvious.. Having seen both teams play today, unless things drastically change, Scunthorpe will win. Better?

Scunthorpe's midfield > Newcastle's midfield If we're going on todays games then, Sunderland will be in the top 4 and Villa will win the league? We have no chance against Scunthorpe? Righto go back to the rubber room now mate. You watched both teams today then did you? No, but I'm actually basing on how both teams are playing CURRENTLY, not for the entire season. That's pretty obvious though, so I guess you're just being a tit?

It's because of Hughton that they play like that though.

Actually, we're probably missing our 3 best players.

Should have scored. Pretty poor. At least he got there.

I've never really understood making subs this late if you're chasing the game. Doesn't give the player long enough to get into the game.

It's safe to say that this strike partnership just doesn't work.

We're just too slow to do everything. Everyone wants an extra touch.

I hate everything about Forest. Bunch of wankers, fans and players alike.

Jonas just had a shot which left the floor. Encouraging.

Can anyone confirm that Smith got booked for kicking the ball away? If that's the case, why didn't their guy just get booked too?

If they used the same offside rule every season it would make things easier!

Love it when people say stuff like this but can't back it up. Even when we were winning at the start of the season people were saying that the squad was shit. That's why most people say it's amazing we're top of the league! Still, carry on with the knee-jerk shite.

They all have tbf.

Our midfield is truly appauling. I should put that in my sig seeing as it's been truly appauling for about 6 seasons now. Creates nothing for the forwards and offers the defence no protection.

Having seen both teams today, get your money on Scunthorpe for Tuesday.

Lovenkrands is bloody useless. Guthrie's not much better today.
