Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Fully expect us to make 6-9 changes, but expect any team we put out to win this. Would love us to get through this, the thought of a quarter final place No idea what team we'll put out, but my best guess 3-1 win anyway. Sels Lazaar Mbemba Hanley Anita(?) Hayden Shelvey(?) Gouffran(?) Perez(?) Atsu Mitro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pretty certain that Yedlin will play this one with Anita playing in the away game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Tried to get 3 tickets for this earlier and can't get seats together so I'll try and watch it on the Foreign channel instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Can't see Benitez changing the whole back 5. My guess: Sels Yedlin - Mbemba - Clark - Dummett Hayden - Shelvey Atsu - Diame - Gouffran Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 2-0 win. Both goals coming within 2 minutes of each other. Same as our previous 2 cup ties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 In previous years, rotating for cup games has meant playing kids who aren't close to the first team. Now, we'll rotate in basically first team players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One of their strikers is 6ft 7in so I'd imagine we'll see one of Lascelles or Hanley starting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One of their strikers is 6ft 7in so I'd imagine we'll see one of Lascelles or Hanley starting Clark's our best defender aerially, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Going to this and I can't bloody wait. Never thought I'd be saying that about a midweek, no doubt freezing League Cup game against Preston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Interesting to see who starts. Darlow was playing in the cup games when Sels was playing the Championship games. Maybe Rafa will put Sels in for the cup games? The following didn't start on Saturday but a lot of them could be in the starting 11 on Tuesday: - Sels, Mbemba, Hanley, Lazaar, Anita, Hayden, Diame, Mitrovic, Tiote and Murphy.

samptime29 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 They've taken 10 points from Villa, Brighton, Huddersfield, Norwich. Strong form. Think it will be a tough game. Interesting to see who comes in. So useful this season, our benches always seem pretty strong. Would take a narrow win all day long here.

mighty__mag Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Daniel Johnson is a good player for these. They are playing well, but so are we, I think we will be stronger and the home advantage will hopefully see us get through. Will be the furthest we have been in cups in ages if we make it.

Guest TheBallWinner Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't expect to win both of these games. I'd take a loss in the Cup for a win in the League! I can see a 3-1 win Tuesday and 1-1 on Saturday, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Johnson's been good for them for a while now, been chipping in with a few decent goals too. Beckford should be back in time to face us too. They're in good form right now but so are we, it will be a tough test but trust Rafa to get it right.

afar Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think we'll lose one of the two games against this team they are in great form right now, not sure yet which one I would prefer us to win, logically it would be the league game but at the end of the season 3 extra points might not make any difference whatsover and it would be nice to eventually have decent cup run. Obviously ideally we win them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 "gallows humour noun: gallows humour; grim and ironical humour in a desperate or hopeless situation." I'd give the previous poster 4 out of 5 five from the above description; shame about the one that's (always) missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously ideally we win them both. Benitez will be looking at nothing other than two wins. I'd take the cup win IMO. With this manager in charge we have a good chance of going very far in any cup competition we enter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
