I know it's early, but TEAM FOR NEWCASTLE

[SpongeParr]

Smithies
Furlong Perch Onouha Lynch Bidwell
Manning Freeman Wzsolek
Lua Lua Makie

I thnk he will go 5 at the back, Wzsolek and Mackie to drop back and double up. Lua Lua on to help the counter with a bit of pace.

Team for the Toons ?

Same as vs Reading ?

[MattyRangers]

Same as vs Reading ?

Hall is injured.

My guess is something like:

Smithies
Furlong Ned Lynch Bidwell
Pav Luongo Manning Doughty Lualua
Mackie.

Can see Ollie packing the midfield and trying to stifle them.

think he will play Perch in place of Furlong being more experienced ?

Yea potentially mate.

I can't see either Freeman or Goss starting, but they're both eligible so expect them both to be on the bench.

"Don't have many diamonds but we don't half sparkle". ####ing love IH, what a breath of fresh air he is after some of the boring, negative miserable gits we've had over the last few years. Not daunted by Newcastle but excited, so at least maybe we'll have a go at them this time. I wouldn't mind losing 6-0 again to be honest as long as they all try their best and actually try to play football

[Cjskinz]

Smithies
Furlong Ned Lynch Bidwell
Perch (to play same role as Hall)
Luongo and Manning
Pawel LuaLua on wings
Mackie up top

That's the team i think he will go with, although looking at Cousins' instagram he travelled with the team

Take the draw now but if we shape up like we did v reading anything is possible..

[maidstone_hoop]

Smithies

furlong ned lynch bidwell

luongo manning goss/freeman

Wsolev mackie lua lua

Id like to see something like to be honest. It's a game we aren't expected to win so might as well give some of the new signings a chance to get some game time.

I think if we play like we did at Reading (pressing and counter-attack) we'll get at least a draw. They aren't Barcelona and that game at LR was a definite one-off.

[West London is Rss]

Smithies
Perch Ned Lynch Bidwell
Wzaolek Luongo Manning Lua Lua
Mackie Washington

Goss and Freeman on bench, to maybe use at the weekend.

id go with the go at them approach but not sure he will, id like to see luongo rested if thats the reason manning sat out as luongo was turd v Burton, i fancy a draw but the passion we showed in games prior gives the fans such a lift now going into these games.

going for desmond 2-2

[West London is Rss]

Sylla is irrelevant in a game like this where we'll have hardly any possession, plus he was sh1te on Saturday and deserves to be dropped - lazy farker.

The last thing we need is a statue ambling about up front, with the ball bouncing off of him.
With Washington, Mackie, Wzaolek and LuaLua, we can be dangerous on the counter.
