HaydnNUFC Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Isak playing with Matt Ritchie is tickling me mind. Nothing epitomises transitional phase from Ashley to PIF like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Aye, let's put our strongest lineup in and knack all our best players. We don't have the squad to attack 3 competitions, this lineup should have enough to beat a L1 side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hoping Schär and Wilson just rested. I’d have had the latter on the bench just in case. I’ve lost all faith in Chris Wood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It wont be beautiful but I expect Murphy, Anderson, Manquillo to handle this game comfortable. Botman, Isak, Dubravka, Joelinton should be long above everyone. But its football you never know.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Happy enough with that team. If it's good enough to win the match, great, if not, then there's two more important matches coming up in the next 8 days. I know an extra match isn't great in terms of less time for Eddie to prepare for other matches, and more of a distraction, but since there's like 7/8 who won't normally start there, a replay in front of large numbers, possibly on TV again (depending on other results), and a chance for young'uns to actually watch us again, I wouldn't be too fussed if it was an injury free draw. Probably the least bothered I've been heading into a Newcastle match since Cambridge last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t play our first team and it’s also important that some of these players get minutes in case of injuries later in the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was far stronger, relatively, than it is today, and bar a striker, pretty much full strength, and since we had won 1 of 21 matches that season, it really did feel a case of when the next win would come, but a pretty embarrassing exit considering we went strong and were at home to a bottom half 3rd tier side.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 This'll be a tough first half, I think. They're in good form and will be well up for it while most of our lot have barely played. I reckon we'll win it in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
