You think?!

SWP would be a good addition, if only on loan to begin with, he's a far better player than Routledge, however with Barton playing exceptionally well out wide right i'd be more interested in an extra striker and maybe another classy center midfielder to be honest. I'm not sure we'll bring anyone in though with Ben Arfa and Dan Gosling coming back from injury!

He wouldn't be first choice. You kidding?

my local side is newport county, we too are having a decent season, look forward to the gateshead meeting!

Will be mostly reserve players: Krul Raylor Campbell Kadar Trav Ranger Smith Vuckic Jonas Ameobi Lovenkrands

Harper - 7 Simpson - 7 Taylor - 7 Coloccini - 8 Enrique - 7 R Taylor - 6 Nolan - 5 Smith - 8 Guthrie - 5 Barton - 6 Ranger - 7

Krul Simpson S.Taylor Kadar Enrique Butt Guthrie Geremi Lua Lua Xisco Ranger

Lose any more players and we will not gain promotion. keep or add to our squad then we should piss promotion. So im at a 5 until sept 1st!

Harper -GK Simpson -RB Taylor -CB (if he's still a NUFC player come tomorrow!) Colo -CB Enrique -LB Taylor -RM Nolan - CM Smith - CM Jonas - LM Barton - CM Ameobi - CF 4-5-1

Lets hope its coloccini not s.taylor thats heading away from the club! i think we cud get at least ask 4 million tho?!

Wouldn't surprise me if S.Taylor is gone by Wednesday and Campbell is in to replace him! Don't think Barton will be fit so it'l be either Geremi or Simpson coming in. Other than that same team as Saturday, bring them on!

If we sold Taylor, Smith and Duff we'll certainly be bottom half this season!

Whats the point in this thread?!

The pace in that team is frightening!!

so that could be 9 million approx. for oba and 8 million approx. for bassong if rumours are to go by!

West Brom Middlesbrough Sheff Utd Reading Preston Cardiff Swansea Ipswich Bristol City QPR Sheff Wed Watford Doncaster Crystal Palace Blackpool Coventry Derby Nottm Forest Barnsley Plymouth Leicester Peterborough Scunthorpe Being from South Wales i'll be attending these away games.

Stil a 9 but very close to a 10 if my predictions all come in. I predicted we'd get a draw against pompy, win v boro and lose v fulham and also said we'd draw v villa!! If we are gonna stay up it'l be on goal difference, looking at the hull manure game tho i fancy a draw in that one too. also think sunderland will get a draw at pompy too which will be enough for them.

Well yeah, I just mean it's been bloody ages since we scored from a speculative smash at goal. Thats because our midfield is shite!

Its win or bust for both clubs, a draw is NO good! Its now in our hands thanks to Hull, win on monday then all we gotta do is better hulls last 2 results......why am i still not confident! The first goal in mondays game will be very important, we go 1 nil down and i feel it'l be too much to come back and win the way we are playing. I'm actually with lawro and i think 1-1!

If we beat boro then we may have some confidence rolling into the fulham match. The boro game is now the all important game for both clubs...MASSIVE game! Unfortunatly i can see Hull getting another 4-5 points so even if we perform miracles and win both remaining home games we may still need a point from villa away..............Anythng can still happen all we can do is wait and see what unfolds before us!

9 at the mo, will move it to 10 if we fail to beat pompy.

Harper 5 Beye 7 S. Taylor 5 (Smith 6) Bassong 7 R. Taylor 2 Nolan 2 (Viduka 6) Butt 2 Jonas 5 Duff 5 Owen 3 Carroll 5 (Martins 7) As good as down, no chance we will win all 3 home games, i think we'll win one (boro), lose one (fulham) and draw the other (pompy). We will get hammered at anfield and might even grab a draw at villa but it will be all over by that game anyway.

Changed from 7 to 8. Next 2 games Chelsea and Stoke, lose both them and i'll be raising it to 9!

The players will quite simply NOT respect Houghton as a manager and therefore not respond on the pitch, if players respect the gaffer they generally put in a performance. We also need some new ideas because our football is clueless! Owen touched on it in an interview i believe not too long ago and he said something like he dosnt know whats going on at training sessions, uncertaincy around the club, which is bound to rub off on the players. This however is not me sticking up for the players as its them who need to start performing although im austounded that Ashely dosnt seem to think they need a head coach with some kind of experience?!?!?!

Martinez would never come at a time like this...4 years ago maybe when we were a strong team in the premiership!
