Newcastle Utd vs Wigan Athletic pre-match thread (22/10/11 @ 3pm)


Recommended Posts

First match of the season for me, nailed on s**** performance.

 

I'll pretty disappointed if we don't win like (not because we're playing well but because Wigan are s*** and self respecting team in the league should expect a victory at home to them)

 

Aye.

I would be tempted to rest Tiote for this one and give Gosling some game time, he's on his 3rd yellow already and we're going to need him for all of the games in November, plus it will do Gosling good if we want him up to speed when he replaces Tiote during the ANC.

 

No suspension until 10 yellows now isn't it?

Its the last 'should win' game for a while. And for me, its time for Santon and Ben Arfa.

 

                      Krul

 

Santon    Taylor    Colo    Taylor

 

Obertan    Cabaye  Tiote  Jonas

 

                Ba        Ben Arfa

 

Keeping up our Category C winning streak, I'm going with 3-1 to us.

Just been on Oddschecker to see what the bookies think already.

 

Us: 4/6

Draw: 29/10

Wigan: 5/1

 

I'm not a betting man by any stretch, but to me that seems pretty heavily in our favour. When was the last time we were such favourites in a Premier League game?

just noticed its the Manchester Derby next weekend- so a great chance for us to make up some ground in the title race.

Had a wee deeks at a Wigan forum. They seem pretty suicidal at the minute.

 

Do have a relatively high opinion of some of their players though:

 

what is he doing starting that freak Lopez? he's awful. Caldwell needs so much cover its untrue,watching him crumble everytime somebody gets him on a 1v1 situation is embarrassing.

Wonder if they'll bring enough to get into double figures.

Don't see the word freak being used enough these days. Well done pie-eaters.

If we were to swap things around a bit I would start Jonas ahead of the weaker full back (early days I know but ie NOT Santon).

 

Didn't Marveaux play right wing for the reserves? Got both his goals from that said anyway.

 

I am not opposed to playing Obertan btw, don't think he has been as nearly as bad as some make out and this is the perfect game to get his confidence up and let him realise what he can do with his ability.
