Newcastle Fan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 This game came at a perfect timing, perfect chance to give Thauvin, De Jong, Mitrovic, Arrons, Tiote, Saylor some important match time and fitness, could give Darlow and a few others a chance as well.

Raconteur Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Don't see the need to give Darlow a kick just because. There's a middle ground between sending out a reserves team to get humped and picking the first XI. We have players who need 90 minutes of match time in their legs, some who deserve a chance to shine and some who should be playing because they're our best options. I think something like: Krul; Janmaat, Mbemba, Taylor, Dummett; Tiote, Anita; Thauvin, De Jong, Aarons; Mitrovic suits me... EDIT: Harsh on Perez, and Colo could do with the added match time, but you can only pick XI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with handing him a home debut and chance of a morale boosting clean sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm looking forward to this one, it'll be my first game this season. I'd like to see Kemen get some minutes to see if the lad is worth the hassle but ideally a strong a first 11 as possible. I really hope Aarons, Thauvin and Perez are all heavily involved.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'd put Toney on the bench too and bring him on if we're comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 De Jong and Aarons will play which means Perez probably won't as i'd be surprised if Thauvin doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Darlow; Janmaat, Lascelles, Coloccini, Haidara; Anita, Wijnaldum; Aarons, De Jong, Thauvin; Mitrovic Would like to see this side; or possibly with Perez in for one of the front four. De Jong and Aarons could both do with a start and some decent minutes though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Obviously I want to see some proof of us taking the cups seriously, but I don't think there's any harm in rotating a bit on Tuesday. We're at home to Northampton, it really should be an easy win. I won't be getting the pitchforks out if it's quite detached from the first XI. I would like to see this though: Krul Janmaat --- Mbemba --- Taylor --- Dummett ---------- Wijnaldum --- Tiote ---------------- Thauvin ----------- Perez -------------- Aarons ------------------ Mitrovic --------------------- Tiote only really because he's clearly going to be playing his part this season, if the opening fixtures are anything to go by - so he needs to get up to scratch.

Klaus Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 It is good to finally have options, at least in forward positions, give thauvin a start and watch him tear it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thauvin and Aarons must start. Perez will play next weekend so don't think he needs to be in there. SDJ behind Cisse too. Might as well go for it and play Wijnaldum and Sissoko behind the front 4. Back 5 of Janmaat, Taylor, Mbemba, Haidara and Darlow, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Leave Sissoko IMO, make sure he's ready for Arsenal. No idea on the CMs aside from that though as most of them don't necessarily need to play for fitness reasons other than Tiote like the front 4 players do.

Fenham Mag Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Only bring on that toney lad if we have it in the bag. No room for sentiment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Past history of Newcastle United versus lower league opposition means we should pick a very strong team. This game is a big stage for the Northampton Town players to impress so I'm sure they'll be giving it their all. Fitness permitting I'd start De Jong, Aarons and Tiote (I'd start Dummett if he's fit enough but I doubt he is). I wouldn't start Lascelles or Darlow. They weren't that good in pre-season. I highly doubt we'll see any of the players the club want to sell (Williamson, Vučkić, Bigirimana, Gouffran or Elliot) either. Ivan Toney can be on the bench and can come on if we are winning comfortably (not that we ever seem to against lower league opposition). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've just ordered tickets online there but the only option was for collection, which seems to be 9-5 so can't get there after work. Would I be able to give say my brother my debit card and him be able to pick them up or will I have to queue before kick-off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
