Elliottman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 CHEICK TIOTE says he will not risk himself in Monday’s huge game with Bolton Wanderers after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury at Swansea yesterday. Tiote limped out of the game at half-time at the Liberty Stadium. But he will not rush back for the visit of the Trotters if there is even a slight chance of making the problem worse. He told the Chronicle: “I don’t want to take any risks and be out for four or five weeks. “I preferred to stop after the first half. We’ll have to see if I’ll be ready for Monday or not. “If I’m not ready for Monday, I think I’ll be ready for Stoke. It’s a long break, which is good for me. “It’s not easy when you miss one or two games because of injury. But I take the positive side. I’m a footballer, and I’ve been fit all my career.” Tiote has suffered niggling injuries throughout the season and was hardly helped by the interruption of the African Cup of Nations in January in which he went all the way to the final with the Ivory Coast. Reflecting on his latest injury blow, he said: “It’s a bad moment for me, but it’s OK, because it’s not a bad injury. “Some players are out for six months or a year.” But despite his obvious disappointment, after the seventh away win of the season for the Magpies he poured praise on his team-mates and man of the moment Papiss Cisse. He said: “It was a brilliant result against a good team. “They played well, but we used our experience to win this game. “We defended well, and it was a good result.” “For the team, Papiss is the best, as he’s scoring every game. “He’s important for us – he’s doing a great job. “Everyone’s happy for him.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/04/07/cheick-tiote-says-he-will-sit-out-wanderers-clash-72703-30712129/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz1rLXadfch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I see a win here but a tight game where we struggle to get the first goal - enter Papiss Cisse. Really hope Ba pops up with one of his trademark class goals as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I see a win here but a tight game where we struggle to get the first goal - enter Papiss Cisse. Really hope Ba pops up with one of his trademark class goals as well We've got so many early goals recently. It's brilliant. Complete opposite to the start of the season where I can't recall a team which was slower out of the blocks than us. Really helps to settle the crowd at home, too.

SUPERTOON Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Will be the hardest of our last few games, or at least the tightest, reckon we will win though. 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 If Colo is back: Simpson - Williamson - Colo - Santon Cabaye - Perch - Jonas HBA - Cisse - Ba Should be enough to get the job done.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Every game til the end of the season will be massive, must win and the hardest yet. We said the same last weekend, the same yesterday and will be saying it against Stoke, Wigan, Chelsea etc Think it will be tight, but Bolton really are fucking shite. 2-1 win.

Frazzle Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Not sure I like Ferguson as part of a midfield three and can't see it happening at all to be honest. Pardew will choose from Cabaye, Jonas, Taylor, Gosling and maybe Abeid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 We might see some changes in this one due to fatigue and/or injuries. The obvious would see Raylor coming in for Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Reckon it would be Raylor in for Tiote. He's gone with Raylor in the middle in this formation before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Krul Simpson. Colo. Williamson. Santon Perch Cabaye. Jonas Ben Arfa. Ba Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Cabaye is also touch and go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Can't see Colo playing in this either. Can't see much changing between Fri and Mon, obviously there is a cut off point somewhere but I can't see him being risked either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Krul Simpson. Colo. Williamson. Santon Perch Cabaye. Jonas Ben Arfa. Ba Cisse This for me too. Perchelele in his preferred role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see much changing between Fri and Mon, obviously there is a cut off point somewhere but I can't see him being risked either way. I think he is fine but Pards didn't want to risk him with 2 games in 4 days. A huge advantage for us is that we have an extra day of recovery over Bolton.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'd sooner just keep Coloccini for the Stoke match. Happy with the Perch-Williamson partnership for one more match anyway rather than risk him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'd sooner just keep Coloccini for the Stoke match. Happy with the Perch-Williamson partnership for one more match anyway rather than risk him. Yh me too as long as Cabaye is fit id go with the same team that started the second half against Swansea and if Tiote and Coloccini are fit enough then bring them back in for the Stoke game. On a different note, does anyone know how long Guthrie is out for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Reckon it would be Raylor in for Tiote. He's gone with Raylor in the middle in this formation before. Good shout actually. I would prefer Gosling though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Is Abeid a DM? he could be worth a start if Colo is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 abeid or raylor must start not push perch into DM... if simpson become CB that would be nightmare i recon.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think it was made pretty clear that Colo would be back for this game. If that's the case, that would be another massive boost. I also think Tiote will miss it but Cabaye will play, therefore this: Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Perchelele Cabaye Jonas HBA Cisse Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yep, I'd go for that. Colo replacing Perch who replaces Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
