Sifu Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well obviously a win would be brilliant but as is the case with most away games (the FA Cup/Carling Cup being the exceptions), I'd be happy with a draw...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 A draw away at Blackburn? They are terrible man, and have their best player out. We should be beating these. Although I can see another toothless performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I just hope he's not put off by these last two results and ends up back with Taylor and Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I was all for easing Ba and Cisse into the team, but after tonight they simply have to start. A 30% Cisse is much better than a 100% Shola. Krul R Taylor Willo Colo Santon Ben Arfa Guthrie Cabaye Jonas Cisse Ba ....but Pardew will find a way to mess this all up, so this is pointless!

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hopefully "Lawro" will predict a Blackburn win. We need one of his NUFC defeat predictions. They are like a lucky charm for us. His last two 1-1 draw predictions for NUFC haven't gone well for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last two 1-1 draw predictions for NUFC haven't gone well for us. Bang on. When Lawro says we will fail, we win. Bit worried about this game based on our last two performances. We really need a win to raise the spirits of the players and the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 "but we will threaten the goal a little bit more on Wednesday I hope." translates as "but we won't have to play f***ing Shola on Wednesday I hope." You think the penny might have dropped by Wednesday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Our preparation for this game is awful. Key players who maybe playing missing in training , only 3 days of training since they have arrived back from Tenerife before Blackburn. Blackburn have had a week and a a half to prepare for us and it's going to be very difficult to get anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hope we go with 4-4-2 here, regardless of whether the Dembii are available. Pardew seems like he doesn't want to play it with Ben Arfa in the team though, odds are we'll see plenty of square pegs in the round holes again.

binnsy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Don't think it would be fair on Cisse to throw him in against Blackburn. He doesn't speak English yet (maybe not that big a deal with all our french speakers) and think the best thing for him is too let him have a week on the training ground getting to know his team mates and how the club operates and set him up for a home debut against Villa. Ba is different, he should be ok to slot straight back into the team, hopefully the kitman can give him back his shooting boots cos watching him in the ACN i think he left them here when he flew out.

Guest palnese Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'd start them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 i think Obertan could get a recall for this one, not that i think he does much defensively but think Pardew will want him for "protection" for Simpson as apart from Samba at set pieces the best part of Blackburns team is the threat down their left wing with Hoilett and Ollson. can see us linging up with KRUL SIMPSO WILLI COLO SANTON OBERTAN CABAYE GUTHRIE JONAS HBA BA providing cabaye isn't banned.

Ketsbaia Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Start Ba and replace him with Cisse. It'll ease them back in whilst we always keep a quality striker on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
