Oh that's 100% happening. The timing just after the Xmas rush guarantees it.

 

Our reserve side is pretty good these days mind assuming most of the team is fit. If it was soon we would line up something like: Dubs, Livra, Lascelles, Burn, Targett, Anderson, Longstaff, Hall, Murphy, Wilson, Barnes

I’ve zero time for playing reserves in the FA Cup.  There is absolutely no excuse for it.

If we progress in the EFL Cup we'll have nine fixtures in December (eight if we don't); followed by the FA Cup R3 game. I wish it was a higher priority but the reality is it just isn't, and sadly it's going to be all but totally castrated when the PL buys it.

 

It wasn't as if we played wall-to-wall reserves against Sheff Wed mind. Dubravka, Botman, Longstaff, Joelinton, Murphy and Isak all started.

You’re right of course re the lineup vs Sheff Wed - it was just a really poor performance.  I can just about forgive it if we’re on a LC run tbf.  But it is just so depressing to see the oldest football competition in the world - and one which for most of its lifetime was far more prestigious than the league title - being undermined because of the money.  Desperately sad.

I agree totally. Add it to the list of absolutely shite things about modern football. 

 

NB. I actually have a list. :lol: I decided to jot it all down at the start of the season as a therapeutic exercise, it was good. Observe terrible handwriting:

The handwriting is horrific (mine is just as bad) but the cup is fantastic. I definitely read “beholden” in the 6th point as “bladder” [emoji38]

A lot of talk from TSport fans suggesting they would like Eddie for the England job should Southgate be forced out. 
 

I think the next games for England are very decisive and if we don’t start picking up points Eddie may be for the bullet also, these were suggestions/scenarios for a lot of the fans on the radio today, obviously a straight swap for Southgate if Newcastle not progressing.


As mentioned last week….. Mad how the chairman has had to back Eddie after the job he has done. Don’t shoot the messenger, I love Eddie as much as each and everyone of us.

I do think tomorrow is a big game for him.

 

He should have a very long leash in terms of time to get it right if we have an extended bad patch but after two weeks if we put out another poor performance tomorrow I will find it a bit concerning.

 

Particularly interested to see how we do in terms of linking our midfield to attack and avoid the CF being isolated.

 

Do wonder if he's toyed with the idea of going more of a 4-2-3-1 and playing either Isak off Wilson or else playing Gordon or Almiron as a #10.

 

Will be an interesting starting lineup.

Watched it, they think Howe gone by the end of the season 


Think I’ll have to watch it as well now, can’t wait to hear the logic behind that. It”s like the last two years never happened.
