durhamunigeordie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think Pardew suggested on NUFC TV Cabaye and Tiote will be back for Stoke. Seemed like he was keeping his cards close to his chest. He said we would be struggling for numbers for Bolton, but would be ok for Stoke. That was after he had been asked about Guthrie and Obertan. I hope by the time Stoke comes around we will have plenty of options off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This has potential to be an awful game. They have 2 days rest we have 3. I see a beautiful crappy 1-0 win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Would take 1-0 right now, just got the feeling it will be tight a fuck and pretty shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've been following NUFC long enough to know we often fail when it's least expected. Bolton are fighting for their Premiership lives. We are in good form but seem to pick up an injury every game. The SJP crowd aren't usually very vocal when it's a game we 'should' win. The atmosphere against Chelsea, Man U, Sunderland and Liverpool was great. Against Norwich and the like it can be quite flat. We need the team to get us going. I would imagine our team will be quite tired having only had around 25% of the possession against Swansea. That's a lot of closing down and running we did. Hopefully Bolton have a tough game on Saturday. As for resting players, tell the players to give it one big push knowing they've got a few weeks rest coming after this game. Ba would have scored against Norwich if it wasn't for a couple of great saves by their keeper. We didn't have the ball much against Swansea so he didn't get many chances. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Unless injuries force our hand, keep the same team (Colo to come back if fit). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Injury problems, overconfidence and playing a team battling for their lives is a bit of a lethal combination. 7-0 victory. Papiss double hat-trick and a Shola cherry on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The way we're setting up at the minute reminds me of when Keegan changed to the 4-3-3 during his second spell. We look a totally different team and the confidence is flowing, however if we lose Cabaye & Tiote in addition to Guthrie, it will be a lot trickier. Hopefully Bolton put all their efforts into winning at home to Fulham tomorrow and then rest a few on Monday, two games in 48 hours is tough at this stage of the season so our extra day off is useful.

Pilko Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'd gan Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon; Perch, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Ben Arfa, Cisse (in the current 4-3-3) - assuming Tiote isn't fit to play and Colo is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Despite having such a good season, we've not gave anyone a proper beating yet, would love to win by 3 or 4 to really get the lads buzzing for the run-in. That said, I'd be more than happy with a 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Be nice if Colo could get some kind of run out at the tail end of this game. Perch has deputised excellently at CB, but much more physical challenges lie ahead of the Bolton fixture - for which I think he will be better suited.

Cajun Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ba needs a goal so bad. Why? Are we struggling for goals, is he consistantly putting in shit performances? Can we go one week without a new silly cliche? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Confidence is dropping, he's a goalscorer and it's been 8 games? since his last goal. Fairly obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yep, looking forward to this game! Should be a good'un. Hope Tiote and Cabaye are fine for Monday. Having Colo back would be a massive boost too (that's down to the physios and Colo really, if both parties think he's good to go then obviously I'd be all for it ).

Yorkie Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yeah. Then put Jonas at CB for Stoke. Then try him in net for the game after that. Then maybe back to centre-mid. Then let him be the kitman. Then tealady. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
