Newcastle United 0-0 Fulham

[Holden McGroin 6785]

If Big AC can get on Aaron Hughes he will have a field day. If Hangeland sticks to him it could be another tough day at the office for NUFC.

I'd take a draw.

I'd take a draw.

 

Nooooooooooooooo!!!

[Holden McGroin 6785]

I like how we've gone from top of the world to take a draw against Fulham at home after 1 game.

It's what Saddydyce can do to you.

[Sonatine 11572]

Fulham haven't won away for 20 odd games, and teams always seem to break these sort of runs against us. See also, strikers in a bad run of form and normally crap goalkeepers who will play out of their skins

[Guest WDP]

I'd take a draw.

Barney to quote Oz off Auf Wiedesehen Pet, if this was big brother yeed be the first one oot that door!

 

Cheer up man, Fulham 1 in 25 away, the toon, just beat two sides in the top 8, in the last few weeks, Barton will be a miss yes but still everything to be positive about. If Shola is missing I would play Lovenkrands, I know many don't rate him but he offers something different and when he gets the chances his finishing is mint.

His cloak of invisibilty is quite some weapon.

I'd like to think us wanting to bounce back from Blackburns shite game and Fulhams crap away form will go on our favour and we can win this.

 

Reckon he'll have Nolan behind Carrol though.

[Deano 0]

Probably gonna line up like...

 

---Krul---

---Simo---Willo---Colo---Enrique---

---Routlegde---Guthrie---Smith---Jonas---

---Nolan---

---Carroll---

 

Tiote is suspended rite?

 

1-0 Carroll

[Ayatollah Hermione 14069]

Nah, Tiote is fine; Sky fucked up the count. I made a similar mistake.

[Barney 0]

Sorry for that negativity lads!

 

Just reckon another loss would be very damaging. We've a shite record against this lot too. I'd have taken a point from Blackburn also(said this in advance of the game, obviously!)

Forget about records, we'd scored one goal in six games at the Emirates and we won, there's a record. Records are for people with big hair and dressing gowns. If you count up the amount of games every regular user of this board has ever seen, live or on telly it must be in the hundreds of thousands and we all know the early tempo is absolutely key. When we beat Barca 3-2 that was the all important thing for the toon. The key thing in this game is we start quick, it always is, especially at St James'. Quick impetus and we'll be flying. We looked hungover against Blackburn at the start well what I can remember, we need to get in to them, early goal, no negativity, HOWAY THE TOON. See Arsenal they start games like a whirlwind at home, yet we had three quarters of the ball first 10 minutes and they found it difficult to get out of their slumber. Novel experience this for me stone cold sober at the match, but howay Newcastle if we win this we can really start mapping out where we go this season.

I didn't get to see the blackburn game, but if we were a bit leggy as people have mentioned, then maybe getting Guthrie/Routledge/Ranger/Lovenkrands in might make a big impact.

[Isegrim 9906]

Hopefully we have finally learnt our lesson and will start to play football in these kind of games at home. We need to show that we want to win these games from the first minute and stop this small team approach of unreasonable carefulness.

[ChezGiven 0]

Guthrie wide right, Loven with Carroll.

[Barney 0]

I expect the 2 lads coming in to be very rusty.

Not too unhappy with that. At least routledge and smith arent in.

 

4-1

[The Fish 10972]

I've got an awful feeling about this one, but I can't see Fulham winning away from home, so I reckon it'll be a score draw.

[Kid Dynamite 7182]

I'd have started Routledge RW and Guthrie CM with Nolan off Carroll. Never been impressed with Guthrie on the wing

[Monroe Transfer 0]

Xisco to come on and get a hat trick.

[acrossthepond 878]

Lovenkrands? Ugh. I'd rather Ranger played. Guthrie in for Barton seemed a natural choice - what's happening with Routledge? Hughton doesn't rate him any longer?

 

I predicted 3-0 against Fat Sam's rabble and we played like shit. I'll go back to 'negativity' and say we'll lose 1-2 again.

[The Fish 10972]

Yeah, I'd worry that he'll drift inside too much and leave Wilson unprotected against Duff.

[OTF 7496]

Guthrie really struggles out wide, don't recall him having any good games there. Hope he can turn things around. Routledge is well out of favor obviously!
