Tooj 17 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'd be disappointed if we don't take 3 points from this. I can see Barton firing himself up for this massively, but with him playing in the centre we have enough in Tiote and Cabaye to counter this threat. We also need to exploit their left side as much as possible, as we know Taarabt does nothing defensively, so there should be plenty of space for us to operate in.

Should get the win, but reckon we might end up with a 0-0 or 1-1 type draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4005 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Part of me thinks this will be fucking explosive and another part of me thinks we'll just turn up and spank them. Cant wait tbf and FUCKING HATE international breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm not confident about this one, we should beat them but with the Barton carry on I reckon we'll get a draw at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Would be nice to see Barton blow up in this one on his home debut and get sent off. Or better still, not blow up and get sent off unjustly. Transfer window's closed without any real business and the (minor in our case) incentive to play for your place has now disappeared. QPR on the other hand have new recruits who will be fired up and the established players will be looking over their shoulders. Should be a win for us but I think it'll end a draw.

KeithJ 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think Barton will be fired up and that will be his downfall as when he was captain last season. He was so determined to win he ran around like a headless chicken and constantly berating his team mates! If they go one down, expect him to start piling in with tackles.

sniffer 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I don't think there'll be any easy games for us this season. Tiote is more likely to get sent off than Barton unless he gets his act together and starts timing his tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 17335 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 TBH we need to win games like this, just cant see it happening though. Newly promoted teams seem to love playing against us and doing well. 2-0 to QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20234 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Exactly the kind of game we normally lose. It'd be nice to see us bucking the trend and carrying on the recent form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasjuice 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 theyve added decently enough, and we're due a bad result. narrow defeat i reckon, would take a draw away. think theyll stay up tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13916 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 We've had a great start & everyone was expecting Fulham to be the game that brought us back down to earth but I don't think QPR have the quality, in addition to this I think Cabaye gives us a bit more consistency & fight. If this was at SJP I would expect us to beat them, I'm not sure if Loftus road has the kind of atmosphere that would turn the tables too dramatically.

loonyTOON 10 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 At first, I think it will be tight because Barton can pretty much draw up the game tactics on his own. But on the other hand, our midfield is so much stronger, and a good solid back line at the moment. So I could see us giving them a hiding, and then Barton getting pissed and getting shown red. I'm going to go with a 3-1 to the Toon. Can't wait, international breaks suck. Wait all summer, and then 3 games in theres a break ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think Barton will try far too hard and end up playing loads of long wayward passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If Warnock plays the newbies, half of their team won't have played together before. Hopefully we'll have enough in our locker to get the 3 points, first goal will be key I reckon. 2-1 to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 0-0 Both teams will be incapable of scoring because there will be no decent strikers on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2563 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I can see Joey getting sent off for sure. He won't be able to help himself, especially if they go behind. Confident we can win. The real question is who will Joey punch/push/have a scrap with. I'm going Saylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6457 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This should be an interesting match and frankly it can't come soon enough. Waiting until Monday is a little annoying. Hopefully we see an improvement from Tiote and a solid debut for Santon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I reckon Barton will be fairly restrained tbh. The last folk he wants to piss off in his righteous quest will be Newcastle fans. Like the mackem and Fulham games we bucked the trend so I'm going to stay with my logical thinking i.e. it all points to a win for us so therefore (NUFC tradition dictates) we will lose. 2 - 1 to them.

McFaul 35 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Phil Dowd referee. Never have we had a ref who gives us more favourable decisions than Phil. I honestly think he's either a closet toon fan or has a soft spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
