Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion **** Pre-match Thread ****

[The Tactician]

At the moment and on current form it is no more difficult than any other It may well seems so in a few weeks but their form hasnt been shattering yet. Lets hope it doesnt pick up until Mid September. Why shouldnt we nick a win? Have done it up there before against the odds.

Mate Of course we can nick a win. But "I would take" a 2-0 win is not nicking anything.

It is because they are expected to win and most would see a draw as a good result for us.

I hope the players don't go with that attitude, we can beat anyone in this division and have nothing to be afraid of going to Newcastle. They were expected to beat us the two times they've been to the Amex and that hasn't worked out well for them.

 

[Paris]

Can see good value in Shelvey for first goalscorer. His form has improved over recent games and he's due a goal. 2-1 to the Albion though.

 

[perseus]

You'd settle for a 2-0 away win at one of the toughest away games of the season?? You really are completely clueless. Not to mention, I want Knockaert to score a hat-trick, doesn't matter if that prompts a bid-Not for sale. I want us to win, by as many as possible and to do that we need AK to play well. It'll be tough.

It is not as though Newcastle are in the top fight with Beardsley and Gascoigne nowadays. 0-2

Am I the first one to be setting off? Leaving tomorrow morning at 10am from Brighton

 

[perseus]

Some of our younger fans (under 25) will never seen us lose to Newcastle United (6 games, 4 wins, 2 draws)

[Stat Brother]

He will for sure


Doubtful – Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dwight Gayle, Rolando Aarons -


Apparently Mitrovic and Gayle are looking like they will be fit to play. The other one is definitely ''doubtful''

How does definitely doubtful work?

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Not entirely sure about the idea of a pre-match thread but good effort to try. Hopefully it'll run for a few games so I can make my mind up.
Think it'll take a lot of energy to get people to engage with the idea to the extent that they'll look for it in the same way as a match day thread.

Were loose ?

You'll need your Geordie phrase book to get provisions etc.

How does definitely doubtful work?

Because that was an extract from the original post which stated he is ''doubtful'' for Saturday. The other two Mitrovic and Gale, in terms of injury, are not ''doubtful''

The other one is genuinely/definitely doubtful as of yesterday...................................I don't believe I am actually explaining this..........All I really wanted to say was that I have confirmation that the other two are not injured enough to be doubtful for the match on Saturday

Just before me.........I leave at just after 11 tomorrow

A Look at Newcastle Betting Odds

After bursting out of the traps, stumbling and tripping over in front of an enormous audience, all of whom pointed and laughed, the Magpies have returned to a vertical base and begun eating up the ground on the Championship’s early pacesetters.

Still, Newcastle’s odds to make it four wins out of four across all competitions against Brighton might be a bit longer at 21/20 given the obstinate Seagulls’ apparent refusal to lose football matches.

Score Predictor​

Pretty match thread? WTF!

It's just another match, not Barca fxxkin lona in the Champions League final FFS! Newcastle, that basket case of a football club, run by a shady cockney recently investigated for breaking employment law en masse, with some of the most passionate but deluded fans the world of football has ever seen, with a MASSIVE sense of entitlement to boot do not deserve a pre match bloody thread!

There, said it, rant over..........and breathe.......

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Are you going by car or train? I am driving and was going to leave at 8am due to Bank Holiday traffic and going that distance would prefer to be way early. I missed the first half of the Scarborough game travelling on a Bank Holiday, not again, I hope.

Train, couple of nights up in the toon

 

[SweatyMexican]

I have mixed views as I obviously want us to get at least a draw but dont want AK to tear them apart so they come in with an increased bid I would settle for a scrappy 2 -0 win. with goals from Rosenior and Bruno as no chance of either going to Newcastle

They know how good Knockaert is, they don't need to see it in person. So let's hope he does tear them a new one and we can bring home the 3 points.
