Yorkie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Harper Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Taylor Geremi Smith Gutierrez Martins Lovenkrands ... i think just about everyone earned the right to hold onto their shirts tonight, bar arguably Smith - but the fitness issues of the rest of the squad need to be taken into consideration. Guthrie's not too far away, and Butt's out for about six weeks isn't he? Hopefully Owen will get atleast a ten minute cameo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Butts been completely useless near all season apart from the Everton game. On smiths showing tonight hes far far far more of an option than butt. I'd like to know what about Smith impressed you so much today. The fact that he only passed the ball straight to the opposition twice? You are thinking of Nicky Butt, the short, ridiculously old, balding English midfielder right? The one who peaked as a player about a decade ago and is battling Shola Ameobi for the honour of worst player in this god awful team? No, I'm thinking about Alan Smith, the English midfielder with the ridiculous hair. The one who peaked as a player about a decade ago and is the only person who stops Shola Ameobi from claiming the honour of worst player in this god awful team. oldtype: your view isnt on Smith's performent yesterday but on how he played before his injury. Tbf I was wishing that Alan Smith would leave the club in the summer transfer window with Ameobi, I think he is a shite player. His performans yesterday was ok, he did bring some fighting spirit back into our players. He was always shouting, and trying to play the easy ball when he could, and more often than not he hit the newcastle player. Butt has been giving the ball away and made stuipid tackles(many wich led to penalties) for 27 league games now. Smith is a better player than but imho. PS! According to PhysioRoom Nicky Butt is injured with no returndate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 MUST win. Looking at our upcoming matches, we wont be picking up too many points and this is the best chance of a win. Also given the fact Hull are fuckin shite, we will be in the fast lane of the slippery slope to relegation if we dont get all 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Think I heard on MOTD that Hull have won 1 in the last 18 games. If we really can't beat them, then we don't deserve to be in the Premiership. It's all right playing well against the Man Uniteds of this world but as happened last night you can play well but still lose a lot of the time. It's games against the newly promoted teams and bottom end of the table that are your bread and butter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Defeat, and its curtains - a point MAY - just MAY - save the club at the death, but I wouldn't bank on it. Hull are guaranteed to give this game everything - they have beaten NUFC in the last 2 meetings, and will see it as a chance to re-ignite their survival fight ; any lack of physical commitment by Newcastle will be punished...expect a nerve-shredding 90 mins which could determine the club's fate next season.

olliemort Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Barring any training ground injuries (I know, I know...) we'll only have two first senior players out for Hull (Beye and Barton) and one of them (Barton) isn't even guaranteed a first team place. Things are looking up ever so slightly. Jesus man way too jink his anyways............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 With Oba and Loven up fornt we will get chances, that is clear from last night. However, with Geremi and Smith in midfield, they will have ball an awful lot too. Hopefully, they show a lack of firepower and we take our chances. Who returns for this game, just Owen?

Guest Darth Toon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 According to Physioroom we have Duff, Owen, Guthrie and Gonzalez back for this one. Guthrie has to come straight back into CM, it's a toss-up whether to pair him with Geremi or Smith - I would go for: Harper R Taylor - Coloccini - Bassong - Enrique Duff - Smith - Guthrie - Jonas Martins - Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 In that case i would go for: Harper Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Butt Guthrie Taylor Jonas Loven Martins Depending on Owens fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think we've actually been missing Duff in a weird way, if only because it led to the nightmare of player a left-footed striker at right midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 For me Loven and Martins must start up front, they provide genuine threat on the break. Owen will be a nice insurance policy on the bench, there's no need to rush him back in the first match he's available. I'm not sure I'd start Guthrie either, it's a big match I'm not convinced he always shows up in these games. For the love of God please keep Butt out of the team.

Jill Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Well I'm not confident as I'm going to the game and my away record is horrific. But, I hope we pull something out of the bag. Such a crucial game, I couldn't bear to watch us really fuck it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Think I heard on MOTD that Hull have won 1 in the last 18 games. This is Newcastle, when a club is in that sort of form, we come along and give them their win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think if Guthrie is back then Smith should be dropped, he offers nothing, at least Geremi has abit of vision and creativity about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
