Shearergol 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers Saturday 21st January 2006 Kick Off 15:00hrs Referee : Howard Webb Newcastle (from): Given, Harper, Ramage, Boumsong, Bramble, Babayaro, Elliott, Emre, Bowyer, Clark, Solano, N'Zogbia, Brittain, O'Brien, Shearer, Luque, Chopra. Newcastle midfielder Emre is back in contention after a hamstring problem and Titus Bramble has recovered from the ankle injury. But Amady Faye is missing because of African Cup of Nations duty. Blackburn (from): Friedel, Neill, Todd, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Matteo, Tugay, Savage, Pedersen, Dickov, Kuqi, Enckelman, Emerton, Gray, Peter, Johnson, Mokoena, Reid. Blackburn are without Craig Bellamy and David Bentley due to suspension so Shefki Kuqi and Paul Dickov are the only recognised strikers. Youngster Jemal Johnson may get a place on the bench while Andy Todd (illness) and Dominic Matteo (ankle) are doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I think it'll be a shite game, we'll be poor at best, but will scrape a win through 1 or 2 players individual ability and Fat Fred will think, thats good enough to keep Souness here for the rest of the season (though he pretty much thinks that anyway) So i'll say a win by one goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Shit game played out by two below average sides. They are probably slightly less awful than us but we are at home, so a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythelads 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) 0-2 I think he'll go with: Given Ramage, Boumsong, Bramble, Babayaro, Solano, Bowyer, Clark, N'Zogbia, Luque Shearer To maintain his level of incompetence he may bring back Emre too soon, leaving Clark on the bench. Emre to limp off after 20 minutes, never to be seen for us again. If the nob was to send the team out with positive tactics, AND in a positive mindset, I think it's possible we could get a draw. Glad Bellamy isn't playing, he'd make a real mess of Shrek and Bramble. Edited January 21, 2006 by Howaythelads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieshandy 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 He can't be thinking of putting Emre in anywhere near Savage, it's lunacy. 1-1 at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 24 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) I'm hoping he'd go with this line-up, but that's never going to happen. GK - Given RB - Bramble CB - Ramage CB - Boumsong LB - Elliott RW - Solano CM - Bowyer CM - Clark LW - N'Zogbia CF - Shearer A - Luque Subs Harper Babayaro Emre O'Brien Chopra Edited January 21, 2006 by Geordie Boyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieshandy 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Bramble at right back wh...eh...good god man...WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythelads 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) Bramble at right back wh...eh...good god man...WHY? 82693[/snapback] Not sure about that, myself. Howver, he has played there quite a bit for Ipswich, so I suppose it depends on how highly someone rates Ramage. For myself, I see nowt special at all in Ramage and would rather he wasn't in the team at all. I'd leave Bramble in the middle and have Ramage at RB until we can get a quality RB to replace Hughes.

Geordie Boyo 24 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) HOWHERE MAN! Are you's telling me you haven't seen him in some games bombing down that right-wing at times creating play and doing very well when he does? He can't do that at centre-half because you know what will happen...! He's got the strenght and pace to get back in a position and cut down the attack where unlike in central defence he can be like a headless duck...or chicken...! But with only one man to mark I think he'd be very effective in that position. Ramage isn't a right-back. Whether he's good enough in future to be any part of our plans remains to be seen, but I think Boumsong would look after and take more responsibility alongside a youngen like him and be more effective too.

He'd be on a goddam hat-trick before half time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I don't think Carr is that bad... But I'd agree with you that Bramble would do a better job than an injured Carr. Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It wont happen but in regards the the MGP comment, Bramble has a hell of a lot more pace than Ramage and would surely do a better job against him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
