Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is Guthrie even fit? I thought he was out injured. I dont know if he has the bottle for an important game like this one. could see him pushing Colo forward, he has been much more confident this season on the ball (had a mare last game though) and seems to like marauding forward. Not sure that Saylor is fit to fill in at the back and Campbell was a disaster last game, so bloody slow. Guthrie was out for Bolton (?) but has been on the bench for a while now.

What a fantastic idea to disrupt the defence in a huge game on the off chance a CB might play well at CM. After the shambles of Everton/Stoke some people never learn......

Dave Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 “We’re hoping he’ll train fully on Monday, which would give him a week’s work going into the Wolves game,” said Pardew. “He’s got a very good chance, though we’re conscious of what happened the last time when he pulled a muscle in his thigh.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be our consistent five at the back we have been playing all year will it? Granted the change and adding Campbell into the mix probably didn't help us. It is like you say better to stick to what we know. But given our lack of anyone defensively minded to play in CM, Colo is easily the best choice. Putting a fit again Saylor back in the mix is hardly the worst decision we could make. Better than the Guardians attempt for the Stoke game. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/mar/18/squad-sheets-stoke-city-newcastle-united Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think with the spate of injuries we will take a chance on him. I think he'll do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ban doesnt kick in for 2 weeks after the game I'm afraid, so he can play vs Wolves but not the 3 games following Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Colo is also our best central defender, so moving him into central midfield would be an insane decision. While we're at it, we might as well give our top goalscorer Kevin Nolan a stint in nets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Moving Colo into midfield is one of those things that fans will constantly talk about but in reality is never ever going to happen. Baffles me why it's even mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Moving Colo into midfield is one of those things that fans will constantly talk about but in reality is never ever going to happen. Baffles me why it's even mentioned. Because he's played CDM for Depor and Argentina. I think he'd be excellent there, so long as we had two CBs of his standard ... which we don't.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Bit unfair to judge him on a game away to City where he was at rock bottom anyway. I think he'd do well there now playing with the confidence he has done the last 18 months. Not worth taking him out of defence but I think he'd do a fair job for us in the middle.

Guest Stephen927 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Colo has been brilliant in defence for us, let's not start putting square pegs in round holes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the best passers of the ball in our squad, if not the best, his positional sense, and reading of the English game has vastly improved in the last two years. Playing in the CCC last season, was brilliant for him. Greg - Joey Barton, Edgar and Geremi were particularly miserable on that day (the whole team in general were) if I remember correctly.
