Guest Heneage Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Realistically I'd hope we line up as. Harper S.Taylor Colo Bassong Enrique R.Taylor Butt Nolan Duff Carroll Lovenkrands Subs; Krul, Edgar, Geremi, Ameobi, Martins, Lua Lua. Just to mix it up, we tried the two big guys against Sunderland and it didn't really work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd go for something like this, roll the dice and see what happens: Harper R. Taylor - S. Taylor - Bassong - Enrique Lovenkrands - Nolan - Geremi - Duff Xisco - Martins Which is what makes these threads so frustrating and pointless because we all know Butt and Ameobi will be playing no matter what.

TRon Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It's going to be quite difficult to pick up victories away from home with the lack of pace in our team. I doubt Oba will start, maybe Lovenkrands might provide something on the break. Our best bet will probably be to try and keep a clean sheet, win a few free kicks and hope Ryan Taylor sticks one of them in the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hopefully West Brom will be quite open, as they usually are, and give us a chance to get amongst them. If we play like we did against the mackems I can see us getting a win, WB are nearly as bad as we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duwy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If Carroll and Colo out, then I guess the starting line-up will be: Harper R. Taylor S. Taylor Bassong Enrique Geremi Butt Nolan Duff Lovenkrands Ameobi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I know I have said the opposite in the past but I would be very tempted to give Kazenga a chance in this game instead of Geremi. I haven't seen much of him so he could not be ready but he seems to have pace and is capable of scoring a cracker every now and then (although thats based on youth/reserve games). I am just scared of the lack of pace and movement in a midfield comprising of Geremi, Butt, Nolan and Duff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see Lovenkrands playing in midfield as there seems to be a consensus of opinion that he wasn't too good out wide for Rangers, and was better employed as a forward. It might work as I see us playing more direct football in any case for the rest of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 In case anyone missed this from the Smith thread: Smudger Targets Baggies Return By Craig Hope ALAN Smith is hoping to celebrate the end of six months of painstaking rehabilitation by returning to the Newcastle United squad for this weekend's trip to West Brom. The 28-year-old fractured his ankle during pre-season and has yet to figure for the Magpies this term. But, after making a competitive comeback for United's Reserves last week, Smith says that Saturday's clash against the West Midlands basement boys is now firmly within his sights. "My aim was to get through 60 minutes for the Reserves so I was delighted to do so and at the end of it I didn't want to come off," "West Brom is now the target for me. "I felt great in my comeback match and there were no muscle strains or anything which sometimes happens when you've been out for a while. "I've worked hard during the past six months or so and my thanks go the physios for their help in getting me where I am today. "I feel good now but obviously it was a big setback for me because I'd played most of pre-season before I fractured my ankle. "I had a fracture which, in layman's terms, is a broken ankle. There was also a ligament reattachment on the outside so it was a very serious injury. "Six months was the schedule but during then there was a bit of confusion and it was reported that I had an Achilles problem but that was never the case." I'm fully expecting him to start alongside Shola with Martins on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
