colinmk Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Not a very exciting team but you have to say it looks quite solid. Hopefully Oba coming off the bench can make the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 is peoples only annoyance that nzog hasnt started in midfield? did we realy expect oba to start today?? it would have been nice but was always unlikely. peopleneed to stop monaing about the line up and get behind the lads Come on Toon, 3-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Zoggy benched and Butt and Smith in the first team. Can't help but feel Keegan is digging his own grave, just like his predecessor(s) by placing his trust in such mediocre players.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Newcastle 4 - 2 Blackburn Parky, James, Lovejoy and Johnnypd to score for us, SUPERTOON and Harry-Norway for Blackburn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 At least we have proper defenders playing. Would have loved for Martins to start but at least our midfield will be balanced this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Not much pace anywhere in the midfield or attack. Hopefully we'll get to 0-0 with 15 minutes to go, and win it using Martins and Zoggy as impact subs. Dropping Zoggy was never going to be popular, but is he a better left back than Enrique, or a better left winger than Duff? I'd say no to both.

He hasn't been great over the past few weeks and, as someone else mentioned, there may be non-footballing reasons for his being dropped. I'm just incredibly frustrated that Barton and Butt start together with Smith up front. I accept that at least one/two of those has to play owing to the shortage in numbers. On current form I would say Barton has been the worst of the three, but I'm frustrated beyond words that, no matter how much they underperform they continue to warrant selection. KK could be bold and go for Carroll who has looked bright, or Kazenga Lua Lua, moving Milner into the centre but instead it seems to be a case of same shit different day.

colinmk Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Personally i think Zoggy should be benched after his performance last week although Duff wasn't much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
