We should have won 3 -v- 1 there last year (even allowing for LBM's volleyball efforts) because Parker's goal should never have stood when there was no real foul in the header that Davenport had chalked off.
I think that either Anton or Gabbidon will offer a little more in the way of a speedy response to Owen's play (as suggested above) and we've all got to hope that Neill feels a little more lively.
Can smell a draw in this, but wonder which out of the Barcodes and L'Arse are going to bring to an end our little run.
Things are really looking up if, say, we get so much as 2 points from our next two league games.
PS If Bellamy is unfit, I reckon Camara might start with Cole on the bench.

As well as they have done, I'm still thinking mullins and bowyer (especially) will get found out sooner rather than later
bowyer looked so far off the prem pace last season and in pre-season, that I can't believe its all changed overnight
all credit to him though...
mullins has always done a solid, unsung job

Play Deano upfront on he's own and see how it goes. I'd fancy us being a bit more attacking if we were at home, but this is Newcastle away and Fat Sam's got 'em going well.
It'll certainly be a very tricky game.

Newcastle team v Derby
13 Harper
27 Taylor
06 Cacapa
04 Rozehnal
14 N'Zogbia
17 Smith
20 Geremi
22 Butt
16 Milner
10 Owen
23 Ameobi
IF WE CANT BEAT THIS LOT I'LL BE GUTTED.
They scraped a 1-0 against 10 man Wigan
Have been held by Boro
Outplayed by Villa
And beat Bolton - which means nothing
Oh...and they're losing to Derby
WE'VE WON 7 OF OUR LAST 8 AWAY FROM HOME

I'd be very happy with a draw from this.
I don't see how Ashton could play up front on his own, it requires a lot of running and he really doesn't look up to it at the moment. At one point on Sat I thought he was limping, definitely didn't look like he was running right anyway. If bellamy is out then I'd go with Ashton/Cole to start.
Difficult one for who to start in midfield though I'd probably stick with the same with Freddie coming on after an hour.
Squad is looking good though, we now have decent back up in most positions.

Jesus, I wish I had your confidence. When did we go to a northern biggish club and win 3-0? Actually the last time was probably when we won 3-0 at the same place in the 98-99 season. I doubt it this time though. Plus fat sam has the rub of the green in results against us so far with bolton...bubbles1966 wrote:Providing we handle Owen I expect nothing less than a 2-3 goal victory if we are anywhere near full strength

Bowyer

That way, you make it tough for Newcastle to break the team down, while still offering the potential to break at speed, with Ashton holding the ball up and feeding oncoming midfielders.
Yeah, I like the idea of that, with Ljungberg in behind Ashton. I'm sure neither of them will mind either
