OutByEaster? Posted March 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2021 58 minutes ago, BOF said: I think Traore really does feed off Cash. Having him as a foil or as an option tearing down the wing does seem to energise Bertie, so I'd expect we probably will see more from him tonight. Indeed, for all the good work Elmohamady does, he doesn't take the full back away down the line the way Cash does, Traore loves the space that gives him to move inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen no evidence yet that the Newcastle players have realised the seriousness of their position so I expect a fairly routine win for us, about 3-0, to take us above Liverpool. Do it for me boys. I'll bet its a good view, from behind your sofa.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not confident of a win at all, has all the hallmarks of one of those games that's going to end with a disappointing and frustrating result, then Newcastle will go back to losing games after playing us, and people will be asking 'how did we lose to these', just like has happened with Sheffield United, Brighton, and Burnley after they beat us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit like where I'm at with it. But, we have had a habit of bouncing back from disappointing results well. Not that the Wolves result in isolation is a bad result at all, but the players didn't seem happy with a point so I'm hoping there's a 'reaction' so to speak. Either way. We have a good enough squad and they're depleted. Roll the dice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many teams know what we don't like..... the front 6 are too easy to negate. The defence is what has kept us going lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. As a team we have a bad habit of being the generous one. Need a win...play the villa. Need your forward to score...play the villa. Liverpool need a home win...guess who they have coming soon .........the villa Edited March 12, 2021 by Bazmonkey ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Feeling good about this one. I think Smith's record against Bruce has to be pretty good surely?! Also, after the Sheff/Wolves drought of goals, I can see us scoring a couple tonight 0-3 Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Fancy us to do well tonight and come away with all three points. Watkins is definitely due a goal or two, maybe. Remember you heard it here first. Come on me babbys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I'll be quite concerned if we can't beat these tonight. Even without Grealish we can't be dropping points to a Newcastle side with their 3 best attackers injured and managed by Steve Bruce. Our record at Newcastle is a shambles as well its about time we sorted that out. It's time for our attack to step up tonight, there can't be any excuses and I'll be extremely disappointed if we drop points. Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett McGinn - Luiz - Sanson Traore - Watkins - El Ghazi If he's fit enough then Cash has to start for me, we'll get from more from that side when he's starting. I'd also quite like Barkley starting tonight but I can't see Smith changing that. No excuses tonight just get the 3 points. Don't give Newcastle that hope of staying up again.
