FA Cup Thread 2019-2020 (Rochdale v NUFC @ 12.31pm on Sat 04/01/20 live on BT)


Recommended Posts

Gayle will go to a Championship side pushing promotion who won't give a shit about the cup themselves. I don't think the risk of being cup-tied would even enter the equation tbh.

Anyone else clock one of Ryder's articles earlier today whereby he pondered to himself whether we might play Carroll at centre half?  :lol:

 

EDIT: Here we go. He's presumably never seen Rochdale play and just assumes because they're League One they're going to play long ball, doesn't he?

Isaac Hayden has done a job there but what about the possibility of former Academy defender Andy Carroll slotting in?

 

Carroll would do any job for the team if asked. Given his aerial prowess it wouldn't be he craziest idea given Newcastle's injury woes.

We've got three centre mids fit, it would be insane to risk all of them here.

 

Almost as insane as taping a hamstring injury up and sending a player back onto the pitch, or playing someone you know has a niggling injury and isn't fit then funnily enough seeing said player do more damage.

 

You need to remember logic isn't really a priority in Bruce's thoughts.

Do we still have that Sangare (?) kid who looked decent for the u23s last year?

 

Aye. Could also use that Scott who signed from Chelsea.

 

Why. They will get bullied and beaten off Rochdale. We may as well just not enter if that's how we constantly go about it
