First!

Finally my life has meaning

Last time he did us was the FA Cup Semi against Man City.

Does it matter who refs us their all the bloody same

 

[Half Bond Jls]

We'll f*#@in smash em. That's my two penn'orth worth.

 

[Harry's Game]

Weather forecast looks dreadful for Sunday, might play into our hands and be a bit of a leveller

 

[Katzenjammer]

Newcastle to nick it in the 114th minute due to one of our players taking 7 seconds to tie his bootlaces.

Did he get his 2nd booking and sent off for wasting that much time

These aren't southern softies, it snows up there in June.

Weather should be fine after 2pm

Gales.

 

[Shawy24]

Atwell. We’ve lost. Sorry, negative but realistic.

 

[jono_t2000]

Does Egan come straight back into the team?

If so, is he undroppable no matter what type of performance he puts in?

Looked far better with Anel at central CB

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

1-0 or 2-1 to the Blades. Simples, our first 3 points. Newcastle or not that special at the moment. Time for our luck to change.

 

[Fatlad666]

Same team as last week, with Traore coming in for Mcburnie

So dropping Egan even if fit?

 

[Fatlad666]

Yes

 

[jono_t2000]

Yes

Good lad

 

[Charlieblade]

Blades at home to a club and a manager well known to us.

Blades first win, using a strong bench.

Norwood will start, Hamer and McAtee more attacking, but still box to box.

 

[Thrice]

With McBurnie unavailable I'd switch to a 5-4-1 for this game. I don't think Traore is ready to start in a game like this.

----Archer
----McAtee
Souza - Hamer
---Norwood
----Back 5

Traore will be able to run between their defenders' legs

 

[Pintor75]

Wes
Anel, Egan,Robbo
Bogle,Souza,Norwood,Thomas
Hamer,McAtee
Archer

Wes
Anel, Egan,Robbo

That about nails it

What a pity we don’t have OMac

I'd agree if we had a decent RCB to bring in, unfortunately we don't so Egan has to play.

 

[RecordBreakers]

I don't see anything other than a geordie win 3-0. When Wilson was at Bournemouth he destroyed Egan at the lane can see it happening again.

Destroyed Egan? It was Berge's mistake that led to Wilson scoring. We won 2-1

There’s a good chance Wilson won’t start tomorrow

Yes we won but Wilson gave Egan the run around that day, was to quick & to strong for him.

 

[RecordBreakers]

There’s a good chance Wilson won’t start tomorrow

Just because we won doesn't mean a player can't give his opponent a torrid time.
