I'd keep Botman in just for a bit more experience of English football and change the rest. Players looked fucked near the end of the City game and we shouldn't really need them until Sunday. Agree with this, I'll be kind of annoyed if this isn't an almost entirely different team and we should still win comfortably. That said, after the performance on Sunday and the news this morning it would be the most Newcastle thing ever to lose today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It would be nice to see a completely different XI and win comfortably. Never felt confident saying that before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looking forward to seeing some Elliot Anderson in this game hopefully. HWTL! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Those players also need minutes as well and to feel involved. If they can't even get a game in this run of fixtures against League 2 opposition then they've got no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Botman starting would surprise me. With Targett being out (who knows for how much longer) and Burn being ruled out for this game, I don't know if Botman should be risked. We don't have huge depth at CB really, especially now Burn has to cover LB. If Fede is fit he needs to play alongside Lascelles. If not, then I'm not sure, maybe Dummett at CB or a youngster?

Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Manquillo and Krafth full-backs, Lascelles plus one of Dummett & Fernandez maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if Targett will be available for Wolves. If so then Botman is unlikely to start against Wolves so will benefit from a game tonight. There's always the option of Bondswell at LB and Dummett in the centre, but we're creating possible weak points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarralad Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'd like to see a pretty strong team put out for this one, if we really want to win a cup we need to take it serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 But harsh on Willock to ask him to play midfield against the best team in the world and then up front against Tranmere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got the right players but in the wrong formation. If Howe wants us to play 433 in the league and that's how he sees us moving forward then these games in whixh we use our "2nd string team" need to follow the exact same formation and tactical usage as we would in a league game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
