Rich Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Gutted Jose isn't fit enough to start, but aside from that not complaining too much although I don't expect we'll be playing much football. If Alan Smith scores and we win then it will have been a tremendous evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Official team: NUFC: Steve Harper, Ryan Taylor, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini, Danny Simpson, Wayne Routledge, Alan Smith ©, Jonas Gutierrez, Kevin Nolan, Shola Ameobi Subs: Tim Krul, Joey Barton, Leon Best, Jose Enrique, Andy Carroll, Peter Lovenkrands, Fabrice Pancrate Good stuff. It's not like Carroll/Lovenkrands have been 'dropped'. They've played a lot recently and it's only three days since our last match. We've got a fully fit squad now (bar Taylor i think), and we're promoted. There's license to rotate and we've won games playing 4-5-1 away from home.

Amir_9 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Really not happy to see Carroll dropped. The lad has done really well recently, perhaps hes being rested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Smith is like the last of the "ha, he's never gonna score ever" crew, isn't he? Colo, Jose, Jonas have all scored. Oh and Best, obvs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be too tremendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Would have liked to see Barton instead of Smith and Carroll ahead of Shola, but otherwise I'm happy. To be honest, I'm not even really that arsed about this game Want us to win the league at home, so we only really need one point from the next two games.

PM Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Do we know it's Guthrie and not Butt? Smith is listed as captain so it must be Guthrie, but that was the first thought that crossed my mind too I must admit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Personally think it's quite smart to go 4-5-1 against a team with 5 in midfield. As Nolan is undroppable in Hughton's eyes, the best solution is to play him off the front man. As Shola caused them problems earlier in the season it's hard to argue with his selection here.

Frazzle Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Lovenkrands and Carroll on the bench should be good if they start to tire. Throw them both on late on and I doubt Reading will be able to cope with their pace and power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
