i'd send pickford up for the corners if it's still 0-0 at 80 mins

 

[Del-boy]

More nervous for this match than the cup final in 95.
Cant make the match but can’t bear to watch it either. Having to take the Mrs out for a Chinese to take my mind off it on the night.

Should have played this lot when they were really crap.

They played a blinder with the FA until they got reinforcements in. Ooh, we’ve got covid, ooh we’ve got injuries. I said in January they’ll be flying when we play them. This is the point of no return.

Pickford
Patterson Holgate Branthwaite Godfrey

Doucoure Allan Gomes
Gray Richardson Iwobi (Gordon looked shattered on sat and needs a break)

If only Kevin Richardson was available

I don't think I can stomach watching these.

Thats why i cant stand listening to their fans right now deny that. You're right that they played the system. But own it. You were getting relegated before the 100m.

We aren’t getting anything from this, they are going to press us into oblivion. Howe has our number and has done for years.

 

[Amokachi1995]

80th minute on Thursday.

0-0.

Balanced game.

Do you want us to go all out for the win? Or preserve the point...

I'd focus on at least getting a clean sheet and a point.

Not what we need in the long run but at this point in time we need a platform to build from and to stop the rot.

For that reason I'd go with an Ancelotti type back 4 of Holgate Keane Branthwaite Godfrey.

 

[MikeH72]

DCL, Grey, Coleman (OK), Dele, Mykolenko, ... erm, holgate... stretching now.....

Yeah, no.

 

[Zeitgeist]

At this rate we might need to resort to three big lads at the back, Iwobi and Townsend as wing backs and put Rondo' up top with Richi.

Pickford
Branthwaite-Keane-Godfrey
Iwobi-----Allan-van de Beek-----Townsend
Gordon-Rondon-Richarlison​

Townsend was fkin horrific at LWB and has been horrific for weeks no thanks

Pickford
Patterson (it'll be Coleman) holgate Godfrey Mykolenko

Allan VDB

Gordon Dele Gray

Richarlison

4231 I'd like to see with Dele dropping into midfield when off the ball

Just think we need some movement off the ball and Dele brings that.

Although I do think we need doucoure because their midfield has legs too

Also this really is last chance Saloon

Wonder if they will show them some of the posts from here

I actually can't think of any worse idea than letting fans send messages to the players

It truly isn't to be fair. We're just on 2/3rds through the season and games in hand, also not in the bottom 3. Last chance saloon may very well come to us but not just yet.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

It couldn't happen again, surely?

Newcastle are too good to go 2-0 down to us. I hope that allays your fears.
