Sho Time Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 0-1 win, if we're lucky. I just honestly struggle to see where our goals are going to come from. If Ba and Cisse do come back and play, they're both gonna be wrecked anyway after playing 3 games so close to each other, then flying back from Africa to Newcastle to make a trip to Lancashire.

Teasy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Neither of them have played 3 full games though, they've both played about two full games in 9 days, around the same number as some of the other NUFC first team players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukeboxromeo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 How long is a flight from E' Guinea to Newcastle? 4 hours? More like 7 or 8 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 How long is a flight from E' Guinea to Newcastle? 4 hours? Double that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR15 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd have two jet lagged Demba's upfront rather than a fully fit Ameobi and Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 How long is a flight from E' Guinea to Newcastle? 4 hours? Maybe they are flying into Senegal today and then from there back to Newcastle tomorrow. Complete speculation of course and I have no idea what difference this would make to flight times, but breaking up the journey can surely only be beneficial for us.

Benwell Lad Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 How long is a flight from E' Guinea to Newcastle? 4 hours? Double that. A positive is no real time zone jet lag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it is jet lag that is the problem as there isn't much of a time difference. It is about the effects that travelling might have on their bodies e.g. someone mentioned dehydration. I know nothing of it myself, but I guess when you're a premier league footballer having to perform at an extremely high level of physical of fitness then the effects travelling are likely to be felt more than they would by most of the rest of us.

I normally just get bored sh*tless after too many games of top trumps and contemplate cutting my own throat. I f*cking hate travelling with a passion.

eliassenfredrik Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Can't tell if people are being serious about the jet lag and other cool stories concerning the flight. It's an hour difference timezone-wise, which eliminates the jet lag factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many days of RECOVERY do you think they need from a flight? They can play 45min each for Sunday. It all depends how strong they are mentally if they are really disappointed we will see lackluster performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to bring the disappointment factor into this as well, I think the whole squad would show a lackluster performance after that Brighton farce. They are professional footballers, no?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think they might play a part, I don't see why they shouldn't. Cisse might not because he hasn't been with the squad much, but definitely Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I really don't see the problem with the, gettin back 2mora and playing Wednesday, light run Tuesday night to shake any cobwebs and a good nights sleep and they should be fine. Consider it prep from Europa league next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
