wykikitoon 20210 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Taken from .com Newcastle play their first competitive fixture at Hillsborough since December 2009 on Saturday teatime, heading to S6 for a 5.30pm start on Sky. United are seeking a record-breaking fourteenth away league win this season and haven't lost on the road in the Championship since a 0-1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers in early January - a run of seven games. This has proved to be a successful venue for us in more recent times, with just one defeat there in the last eleven league visits. All 3,100 away seats allocated in the upper section of the Leppings Lane (West) Stand were quickly sold.SWFC: Vincent Sasso will be available following his three match ban. Sam Hutchinson is doubtful but Fernando Forestieri is fit again and could return. Almen Abdi, Will Buckley and Kieran Lee are injured. Ahead of our visit, Carlos Carvalhal's side make the short trip to already-relegated Rotherham United on Tuesday evening and ran out 2-0 winners. The Owls have won 12 home league games to date this season, drawing two (Wolves 0-0, Burton 1-1) and losing the other five (Leeds 0-2, Brighton 1-2, Ipswich 1-2, Brentford 1-2 and Reading 0-2). Referee: Stuart Attwell - first Toon posting this season for the Premier League whistler from Warwickshire, whose last game involving us was a 1-5 defeat at Crystal Palace back in November 2015. Rather bizarrely, Attwell refereed our most recent competitive visit to Hillsborough - a 2-2 draw there back in December 2009. Mags @ Owls - last ten: 2009/10 drew 2-2 Nolan, Ameobi 1999/00 won 2-0 Shearer, Gallacher 1998/99 drew 1-1 Shearer 1997/98 lost 1-2 Tomasson 1996/97 drew 1-1 Elliott 1995/96 won 2-0 Ginola, Beardsley 1994/95 drew 0-0 1993/94 won 1-0 Cole 1990/91 drew 2-2 McGhee 2 1988/89 won 2-1 R.McDonald, O'Neill NUFC To Score 0 - 1 - wykikitoon, Holden McGroin, The Fish, Kevin Carr's Gloves, Graing, tooner, Happy Face, rogerbarton 2 - ewerk, Rayvin, Dr Gloom, StoneColdStephenIreland, barnabox, Kitman, strawb, LooneyToony, Tom, Ant, TheGingerQuiff 3 - OTF, Andrew, acrossthepond, Howay, Dougle, scoobos, ohhh_yeah 4+ - adios NUFC To Concede 0 - Kevin Carr's Gloves, OTF, Andrew, Howay, LooneyToony, Happy Face, Tom, rogerbarton, scoobos 1 - wykikitoon, ewerk, Rayvin, Holden McGroin, The Fish, Dr Gloom, StoneColdStephenIreland, acrossthepond, Graing, tooner, Dougle, Kitman, strawb, Ant, TheGingerQuiff, ohhh_yeah 2 - barnabox, adios 3 - 4+ - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21959 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 2-1. Decent time play these? Haven't they gone off the book a bit lately? I fancied them for the play offs but they're stuttering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10870 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) 2-1. Decent time play these? Haven't they gone off the book a bit lately? I fancied them for the play offs but they're stuttering They're still in 6th, but yeah their form's not great. Fortunately for them Fulham and Leeds are having an identical wobble. All with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 6 Shef Wed look like a bit of a flat track bully to be honest, in the last 10 games they've only taken points from teams in the bottom half and only 14pts from the 30 available. (Except of course everybody's free hit against Norwich). Wins coming against Blackburn, Nottingham Forest, Norwich and Rotherham. Draws with Barnsley and Burton. Shef Wed have 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses vs teams in the top 3rd (Only Preston have performed worse against that group). And two of those counted as "Top 3rd" are Villa and Norwich. Fwiw; They've kept 14 clean sheets this season and have only failed to score on 7 occasions 60% of their games have ended with under 2.5 goals Edited April 7, 2017 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So you're saying it's going to be a scoreline along the lines of the famous 8-0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I hope we fucking batter these after the fucking shit show last game where they just kicked our lot off the pitch and the ref let them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10870 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sounds like the lad that bossed the reverse fixture (Hutchinson) will be missing. Also helps that we'll have Shelvey available for this game instead of starting with Colback and Hayden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33270 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hopefully QPR can stop Brighton from winning tonight and we pull off win. I'm very relaxed about promotion, tbh I think the heat is off us both now, the title is just a bonus which is why I can see us both winning most of the games left. /famouslastwords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10870 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 QPR have won their last 4 home games. Brighton have won 2 and lost 2 of their past 4 away days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13887 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Fish, stats are for certified knackers. I demand that you stop using them and spend your money on elaborate scouting trips so you can actually tell us if they're shit or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
