Elliottman Posted Thursday at 06:03 Share Posted Thursday at 06:03 Last game before the break then we have 2 away (3 if you include the cup) games in a week. Expect a high intensity performance much given the two weeks off. Ideally a new centre half making his debut as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted Thursday at 06:24 Share Posted Thursday at 06:24 Despite being poor so far I still fancy us to win this , it's Spurs at home , probably couldn't have hand picked a better game for us to get our season started properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted Thursday at 07:18 Share Posted Thursday at 07:18 We'll have to improve against this lot. We must be confident given previous performances and the space they'll leave in behind. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we go more direct, like we did last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted Thursday at 07:57 Share Posted Thursday at 07:57 I would love to see Sandro start this one. We all know Howe will go with Longstaff though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted Thursday at 08:02 Share Posted Thursday at 08:02 Big game for us, win this win and we would somehow have managed a very good start to the season, hopefully we can turn it up with it being a home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted Thursday at 08:04 Share Posted Thursday at 08:04 Some big calls for Howe here. A few pick themselves but feels fairly open competition for a number of positions depending on the gameplan. Hall/Kelly Tino/Tripps Sean/Sandro Starting Barnes and Gordon together (plz, for the love of God) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted Thursday at 08:17 Share Posted Thursday at 08:17 My main concern for Barnes at RW was that you take away his goal threat, so it was nice to see last night that playing RW on another day he could have had two goals - the one blocked and the nice move with Tino. Also, you can rotate them to give him that chance to play LW and do his usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Thursday at 08:27 Share Posted Thursday at 08:27 In fluid counterattacks it matters less which one is where, the important thing is they're both on. They could both equally end up giving or on the end of the final pass. When the opposition is set I guess they're both better on the left, but I think we'll just have to wear that in order not to play Murphy. Thought Miggy was very sharp last night FWIW.

Gazzaschicken Posted Thursday at 08:35 Share Posted Thursday at 08:35 2 hours ago, Vaj said: Yeah probably. Just hoping that he has seen enough of Gordon and Barnes on the wings and how they have both done well on the right to give it a bash and rotate the two in game Yeah I was impressed with Barnes last night and clearly the 2 are better than having Murphy on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Thursday at 08:38 Share Posted Thursday at 08:38 Based on last night it's going to be tempting to start Sandro. Always prefer getting a good start than trying to chase the game later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
