Park Life 71 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Defender Mathieu Debuchy returns for the visitors following a three-match suspension, leaving captain Fabricio Coloccini and Ryan Taylor (both knee) as Newcastle's only significant absentees. Norwich are still without defenders Michael Turner and Elliot Bennett (both knee), midfielder Jonathan Howson (back) and Newcastle loanee Jonas Gutierrez, who is ineligible to play against his parent club. Norwich are winless in the four previous Barclays Premier League meetings between the two sides, a streak that includes a 2-1 loss at St James' Park in November. Hughton hopes his players will be able to cement their Barclays Premier League status in the second half of the season. "What encourages me is what I see in the changing room," he told the Eastern Daily Press. "They're a good group that really wants to do well and they're motivated to do well." Easy win they're rubbish. 0-2 Norwich have won three and lost none of the last four Barclays Premier League home matches against Newcastle (W3 D1 L0). Newcastle United have drawn none of their 11 Barclays Premier League away games this season (W6 L5). There have been just five goals scored in the last four Premier League meetings between the Canaries and the Magpies. Yohan Cabaye has scored five goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, four of which have come away from home. Newcastle have benefited from 29 goals from Frenchmen this season. The Premier League record is 53 by Arsenal in 2002-03. Norwich have not won successive Premier League games since the final two games of 2012-13. Norwich goals have been worth an average of 1.28 points per game this season, the third highest rate in the division. The Canaries have scored fewer goals from inside the box than any other Premier League team this season (11). Meanwhile Newcastle have taken the lowest proportion of shots from inside the box this season (45%). Newcastle United have currently won 299 Barclays Premier League games.

trooper 940 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Piss it, as long as Cabaye hasn't spit his dummy out. I suppose we'll see if there's any commitment to the club at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaMoUsE 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I don't fancy us tomorrow. Its the type of game we expect to win but probably be another west brom/swansea away. 2-0 norwich Edited January 27, 2014 by JaMoUsE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It's the sort of game we should be winning but after 10 days of sun and R&R I fully expect us to put in a tired, gutless performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5294 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We need Fish to come in with the reverse jinx and how we're gonna lose and all that stuff. We do! As an aside, we should win this comfortably, not particularly concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I don't know why anyone expects us to win a game away from home. I know we've done a lot better this season but I'm still a long way away from expecting us to beat anyone who's in the same division as us. That said it is a winnable game but I fear another issue with Cabaye scupper any chances we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We're more likely to win on the road than we are at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5294 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Also, and this can't be stated enough, Norwich are awful. Hughton plays 4-5-1 which means that we've only got to worry about Hoolahan from range in terms of their goal threat. If have another half like the first against Wham, we'll put them away. Admittedly the Cabaye issue may complicate matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I expect us to scrape a 1-0 or 1-1 in a truly shite game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5294 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Remy and Cabaye combined have scored as many goals this season as Norwich. I'd be pretty disappointed if we didn't win this. Although they will hold us back by crowding out midfield I guess... Edited January 27, 2014 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Let's assume, hypothetically, that Cabaye doesn't play. Does that mean Sissoko drops into the middle with Ben Arfa being given a starting role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4222 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Finding it hard to be arsed about tomorrow's game. The apathy and complete lack of ambition will filter down into the squad, and we'll probably lose by a couple of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10963 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) This is exactly the kind of game we should win, but honestly, I reckon we'll stumble to a draw. Cabaye's apparently the subject of an improved bid by PSG 1-1 Yohan G'bye Edited January 27, 2014 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Been on the cards since the day he signed for a truly unbeleiveable 4mill, but to sell him the week we play the mackems is a proper kick in the teeth...if I sound surprised its not intentional though...
