[KZNSeagull]

Baleba starts despite not being on the bus

 

[Siney]

 

[Shaktarman]

No Mitoma is odd. Knock or fatigue from internationals?

Fatigue I guess

What's the formation ?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Looks 4-3-3

 

[dwayne]

Naylor saying.

Verbruggen
Veltman Dunk Igor Kadioglu
Baleba Ayari Hinshelwood
Rutter
Ferguson Welbeck

Very interesting

 

[KZNSeagull]

3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 maybe - Jack and Ferdi as wingbacks?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Bart

Veltman
Dunk
Igor

It might be this, otherwise we don’t seem to have any width

Midfield feels weak on paper if that’s it. Also not sure on JP and Pervs on the bench - looks a bit weak. Hope I’m proved wrong.

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

I'd have Hinsh LB over Ferdi

 

[Rogero]

No Minteh

 

[El Turi]

Newcastle’s players who got back late from international duty are starting so we’ll see which manager has made the right decision.

 

[Mackenzie]

That looks like 3 at the back with Ferdi and Jack wing backs, should work well. Maybe.

Not odd, international plus travelling

 

[Hugo Rune]

Is Potter back in charge?

No left footed left back (again).

No wingers.

3 forwards.

We’ll probably win now because this is NOT the team Smug had planned for.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Could be his normal formation from st Pauli

3-5-2, with veltman at cb

 

[Hugo Rune]

Not odd, international plus travelling

I think that fact has massively affected the selection this weekend.

 

[huzzah]

I think someone made a lot of money from betting on a 3-2 at half time last week, so decided to give the horse punchers a 2-0 lead at half time then bring on pervis and karou* at half time to rip them apart and get that green.

* (not on first/any name terms, but using first names to simulate being itk about this betting syndicate I just made up)

No proper wingers seems a concern. Let's hope our wingers are only having a rest.
