LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Will Bruce play his strongest side or will he rotate the squad? I can't imagine Carroll will be able to play again so soon. Gillespie, Ritchie, Krafth, Fraser were unused subs versus West Ham. Joelinton, S.Longstaff and Almiron came on. You'd imagine a few of them will start against Blackburn. I wonder if any of the fringe players like Atsu, Murphy, Yedlin, etc will play? It would cup tie them which NUFC may not want to do if looking to move them on to English teams. Fernandez and Lascelles will probably play again as the other centre backs aren't fit (apart from maybe Clark who was in the training pictures).

frankpingel Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Cant see him risking Fernandez or Lascelles, probably be Krafth and another "make do" or Clark if he's available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I reckon it'll be Gillespie; Krafth, Hayden, Lascelles, Manquillo; M. Longstaff, S.Longstaff; Fraser, Almiron, Ritchie; Joelinton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I think M. Longstaff is injured. He wasn't in the West Ham training pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 This could be a typical ‘Ashley era’ limp cup exit. League Cup will be so far down the list of priorities for the top sides, it’d be a great year to give it a real go.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I think M. Longstaff is injured. He wasn't in the West Ham training pictures. Been out with a thigh injury. Not sure he has been in full training for quite a while? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I reckon it'll be Gillespie; Krafth, Hayden, Lascelles, Manquillo; M.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Aye Matty Longstaff's got a thigh injury apparently. Don't think he's due back for a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Perfect chance for 4th with these two draws , they all come and say they want to win things then play the fucking reserves , strongest team, all out for this cup. But we won’t . again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 You want to be winning to keep the feel good factor. Even if he plays 2 or 3 of the current first team, a loss would effect them. It’s so stupid having cup games so early.. Play the strongest side and make subs once the job is done. Blackburn are by no means a foregone conclusion though, anything other than full effort and we’re out, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 i think we'll see plenty of changes, with the short pre-season i think we'll use the game to get game time into players who didn't play on Saturday. Can see us lining up something like this.... DARLOW KRAFTH LASCELLES FERNANDEZ LEWIS HENDRICK LONGSTAFF FRASER ALMIRON RITCHIE WILSON or JOELINTON That should be strong enough to get past Blackburn.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Gonna be on some streaming thing for an Ayrton. Details tomorrow from the club. No idea who set the pricing for that but it’s way off. £10 would have been enough to see this game live if it wasn’t behind closed doors, can’t imagine there would be a huge uptake at that price for a stream. Would it be daft to claim they’d easily get 6 times as many viewers if they were charging lets say £2.00? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Considering the goals will probably be shown on Sky just after they've gone in it is not a tenner I will be spending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I hope this sort of this becomes allowed more often even if Newcastle's cup attitude makes it more difficult. I fully expect the return of the 3PM Saturday blackout, but considering weekday cups struggle for all clubs, makes total sense to allow clubs to broadcast it themselves if they aren't on TV, lockdown or no.

That's a pretty decent "reserve" lineup and is, as you say, enough to beat Blackburn (on paper, anyway...) Big Joe likely to start, and possibly Barlasar instead of Hendrick, but otherwise...

Guest Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I’d start 5 of the outfield subs from West Ham and give Fraser 30 minutes or so. Think Darlow should stay in goal though, important he gets used to playing. Possibly play Hayden as a centre-back since we’ve only got two CBs fit at the minute. Darlow Krafth Lewis Hayden Fernandez S.Longstaff Shelvey Hendrick Almiron Joelinton Wilson Should see us through and you’d think Blackburn will do similar. We’ve then got a kind 3rd Round and a tough schedule in terms of shortened length of the season, so whoever’s played both on Saturday & Tuesday, rest them in the Third Round. Should be able to get to Round 4 using the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 First time in ages we actually had some good players on the bench on Saturday, definitely the right thing to do to play the likes of Fraser, Longstaff, Almiron and Joelinton here.
