NEEJ Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm reasonably confident that we can get a good result from this game if we can stay compact and the defence offer some cover for the keeper who will need help. We have some good players who clearly weren't playing for McClaren and we have a top manager who can organise us and can actually add to and change our game during the game and that is a strange feeling. This is a game I'm looking forward to watching and regardless of what some say, it's not a must win game even if we could do with all 3 points as we could lose this and still stay up but I think we will win. The bottom teams are where they are for a reason and we're the only ones who have good reason to be positive and the reason is our new manager. Bring it on. Gan'on, Mick!

madras Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 In that case, just look for NBCsn, NBC News Channel 8 and USA channel for football. You wont get access to all the live games broadcast on TV with any other cable provider unless you have internet access to the cable account of the hotel (not very likely). Eh ? It's on live as you say on USA network and we have that channel, watched 30secs of NCIS this afternoon to make sure we got it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hard to imagine the club staying up if Norwich win this and Sunderland also get points - we are fast running out of games and at this stage, confidence derived from a result in a 6 pointer like this will go a long way to determining how things go in the remainder of games. To me, this game is almost as crucial as the game v Portsmouth in 1992 when David Kelly scored that amazing winner as time was running out ; had we even drawn that game we would almost certainly have gone down and all that happened from then on would never have taken place. If Norwich win this, esp by more than one goal, they will have a huge boost for the rest of the season and the bookies will make us second favourites for the drop.

geordiesteve710 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It's very much a must win, like. While we wouldn't be mathematically down..it would be a huge loss and hand way too much to our closest rivals. It's definitely a must-not-lose. 3 points is a catchable gap, 6 points and it's all over realistically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickTop Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I would go for this: Darlow Anita, Mbemba, Taylor, Lascelles; Shelvey, Tiote Townsend Gini Perez Mitro Can't see Moussa getting dropped though. I would prefer Sissoko at LB just to keep Taylor out of the team but it would be too much of a gamble. What's the latest on Janmaat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickTop Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Lascelles at FB is suicide. Granted but this is on the basis of no Janmaat, Dummett, Mbabu, Haidara or Colback. What is the latest on Mbabu and Janmaat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Why not play Sissoko at LB if other options are exhausted. He did well there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Can't see where our goals will come from, especially as there is virtually zero chance of us keeping a clean sheet meaning we will have to score at least twice. Like most of said, we are all but down with a defeat tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Must defeat Norwich and Sunderland not pick up anything is the best result for us. Still 1 game in hand compared to Norwich. Secondly, if we do win and Sunderland also win, then it becomes a matter of us getting 2 more points than they do in the remaining 7. Its' all about 2+ on Sunderland and 4+ on Norwich from tomorrow forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
