Lotus Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 They will have lots of energy and will get about us early. Close us down, pack the midfield, force to play Cabaye to play balls over it. Unfortunately, we'll be knackered,we'll look knackered and the players will lack confidence and the manager will lack confidence. If we stay compact and don't make silly mistakes, keep it at 0-0, i think we'll grow into the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Haidara out but Tiote and Debuchy possibly back according to this: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/match-preview/284793/gouffran-back-for-magpies? Will feel much more confident if those 2 make it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Shame about Haidara as Duff will more than likely p*ss all over Santon in his present form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Think Simpson can do ok vs Fulham. More worried about Duff vs Santon tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 MUST win, as is the Mackems game. Pretty much safe then so IMO, we have to win this. Loose and most likely go out of the Europa next week and that puts huge pressure on the derby match. Cant quiet believe how shit this season has been.

Skeletor Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'd give any thing to be 8 or 9 points clear with 5 games to go after the derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Will be very nervous game, I can see it either 2-1 either side or a bore draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No reason we should lack confidence really, the Benfica performance was pretty encouraging barring the errors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Can see us trying too hard not to lose, inviting pressure, and they looked good the other day (albeit against QPR) until the imploded Sadly I see us being the imploders. Hows that for optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Very important game granted. But 4 points from this and the derby will be enough to see us saFe imo. Villa, Wigan and the mackems won't all average over a point a game. 37/38 should be enough this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sod this Duff shite, he was shit and gutless here and is still a bang average player. If we defend properly for a change then he wont influence anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I can see this being painfully predictable; we'll have a horror start (provoking a 'hangover from Benfica game' excuse), go 0-1 down to an awful defensive mistake at around 60-70mins, finally get going(ish) and pinch an equaliser. Making sure we keep ourselves sucked in down the bottom and, as already stated, make the thought of the derby unbearable.
