He's doubtful.

 

Newcastle face a striker shortage, with Andy Carroll and Xisco ruled out with groin injuries and leading scorer Shola Ameobi doubtful with a foot problem.

 

Jonas Gutierrez is struggling with a hamstring strain, but Nicky Butt and Joey Barton are fit to return.

If there's no Shola, Barton or Gutierrez, I'd go with

 

GK - Harper

RB - Simpson

LB - Enrique

CB - Coloccini

CB - Taylor

RM - Taylor

LM - Lua Lua

CM - Geremi

CM - Guthrie

CM - Nolan

CF - Ranger

Ranger will get us off to a flyer. We'll concede a couple of soft goals only for Shola, the King of the Championship himself, to come on wearing crutches and batter two goals in using only his knees. Simple win.

That team looks dangerously mediocre, even for this division... :(

If the midfielders are going to start chipping in regularly with goals like the last two games, I'd still fancy us in most matches tbh.

No smith or barton

 

I would sub geremi and taylor for barton and smith easy

Was reading teletext this morning and it said Barton was out. Hopefully just their mistake. \we really need Barton and Nolan on form in this game, with it looking likely we will have no strikers. Think it will be a really tough game, Leicester have had a good start themselves.

Nah, we'll piss this. 4-0 for us with Ranger getting a brace and Tayls and Vuckic getting the other two.

I would go:

 

---------------------Harper

 

Simpson-----Taylor--------Coloccini------Enrique

 

-R.Taylor------Barton---------Guthrie----Lua Lua

 

------------------Nolan

-------------------------------The Peoples

----------------------------------Champion

 

 

Hughton will play Butt alongside Guthrie, with Barton a second half substitute.

Any kind of win will do me! The name Leicester at home always brings back memories of that night we absolutely pummeled them for the entire game but lost 4-1. One of the craziest results I've ever seen. It must have been early Eighties.

Some lad asked some of their fans opinions on our side, most dangerous/worst players for both sides & where they think we'll finish.

This though, was very interesting:

 

9) What do you think the Future holds for both clubs? - You lot will go thro a Leeds type era,as your owner is a cockney **** and your fans cant see the s*** he is doing to your club....you lot are too thick and over passionate sometimes.

 

I think hes trying to say Ashleys been the one messing up our club somehow??  If only we had seen it....  :undecided: :angry:

 

Strange how many Leicester City fans fear of Kevin Nolan.
