matty2702 Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 (edited) Maybe it’s the fact that none of them have been involved recently, but play Kdh, Mendy, nacho and souttar and we may have a fighting (operative word) chance of at least putting in some kind of performance… Edited 21 May 2023 by matty2702 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been infected. Like a 28 days later type virus. They're immune from the last three debacles. I'd (honestly) go for big Dan too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Haywood_6 Posted 21 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 21 May 2023 If he starts with Ndidi Soumare and Tielemans in midfield then I'm afraid Dean Smith hasn't learned any lessons at all. Newcastle will absolutely walk through us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Product of 84 Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 Hopefully, the weeks media coverage since Liverpool will have wound the players up enough to at least give them a game. I see Newcastle have a few injuries. They also only need a draw. Clutching at straws in order to keep the faith. It's the hope that kills you and I've been hoping for a long time now 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say what you like about his footballing ability, and to be fair most wouldn't be far from the truth, but like him or not he gives 100% and quite frankly he'd be an upgrade on Faes.

ian__marshall Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 The only thing that's giving me some hope for tomorrow night is that all the other teams down at the bottom have had at least one completely unexpected result (Forest v Brighton/Arsenal, Everton v Brighton/Wolves, Leeds v Newcastle, even Southampton v Arsenal), yet we've still not had that moment. Will it come against Newcastle? I have no idea, but we are due a result so let's see if we can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 21 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 21 May 2023 Iheanacho and KDH have to start, so does Souttar. I'd not play anyone who is leaving this summer regardless of what division we'll be in. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 I just can’t help feeling we’re going to shit house this 1-0’ - A Madders 30 yarder and then backs to the wall… with them missing chance after chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 One fecking solitary win and we'd have a chance of survival. There can surely be no bigger motivation for this aimless bunch. Assuming of course that they 'really' want it. There must be 1 single performance locked away. Or did they really check out for good months ago? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worth_the_wait Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 I was watching the Castleford v Hull rugby league game on the tv this afternoon. At some point in the game the co-commentator said "luck beats ability, every time". He was right. And at this moment, that's what we need. Some good old fashioned undeserved luck. Newcastle need to mishit every shot, the ball can hit the woodwork every time. Anything but score. Just give us some lady luck, and we might pull a fluffy white rabbit out of some unspecifed hat!

Mickyblueeyes Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 I like Souttar. There’s a lot to work with there. but it is huge to throw him in against Wilson and Isak. I’d do it with Evans next to him and drop the suicidal high line. KDH - be fit. Mendy - play the ****ing guy Kel - please be fit. No Tielemans. Play 3 at the back if we can. If Soy is fit that is a huge positive. Iverson Riccy Castagne Souttar Evans Soy/brain fart Mendy KDH Maddison Kel Vardy Just writing those names, it isn’t a side (on paper) that is significantly worse than Newcastle. Pisses me off more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert Fireworks Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 It says it all that we have two games left and still can't be sure what our strongest starting 11 is. The terrible equation is as follows: Vardys advanced age + brodgers transfers which haven't ckicked + relentless list of injuries to key players. + a summer window of only smithies in. + Year 4 stale management. + playing ward for 30 odd games + Evans injured + Kasper leaving, no leadership = relegation fodder. Based on the last 35 games Newcastle will smash us tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 At least Newcastle won't have the pleasure of relegating us tomorrow. I've read many saying that's it's payback for that match at Filbert St in '92. They haven't forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s based on tomorrow and how players perform on the day, that slice of luck that goes your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is time to pay us back - last minute Trippier own goal for a 2-1 away win would be beautiful! Thanks toon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
