ChezGiven 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Pardew said he would be watching them this weekend to guage how they might treat the game in the cup. Bottom with a game away to Norwich on saturday may mean they wont play their strongest side, so i think Pardew will rest a couple of players. S Taylor probably needs to let his nose heal a bit.

Andrew 4183 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can see Williamson, Santon, Marveaux, HBA, Shola all starting this week looking forward to this one going on with a couple of mates for my first toon game this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can see Williamson, Santon, Marveaux, HBA, Shola all starting this week looking forward to this one going on with a couple of mates for my first toon game this season Think Williamson is still about 3 weeks away from a return isn't he? So disturbingly that means we'll see Perch for Saylor if his nose is causing him trouble. I wonder if Pardew will try to give Elliott more game time as he said last cup game, or stay with Krul because keepers don't need a rest. I think Santon will get a start for one of the fullbacks, Marveaux for one of the wingers and Ben Arfa for one of the strikers. Then it'll be interesting to see if he chucks in the likes of Gosling, Abeid, Vukic or Ameobi jnr. I also think Shola might start upfront with Ben Arfa with both our strikers being rested.

Andrew 4183 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ah course, forgot he was out, dont fancy seeing perch at CB, perhaps Kadar making the step up from reserve team captain? was thinking the same with regards to Krul, he wont need rest and the more matches he gets the better with the form hes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Looking forward to this as it's me first away game since the scum last season. Hoping and expecting to see Marveaux, Ben Arfa and Santon and would like to see Abeid although I think we need to keep a pretty strong team if we want to progress.

Andrew 4183 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Blackburn will be playing the dregs though its as Chez said and Im going on with a blackburn fan who has said he expects similar, they really need to concentrate on staying in the PL now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You don't think Simpson might play at CB then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'll be very happy if they rest a load of players and we have an easy night. Dont want to be having to drive back up here after extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 who knows, we know Taylor probably won't and that we have very little proper depth there especially if williamson cant play either could be any of them, Simpson, Perch, Kadar, Shola...I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_cheshire_toon 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Seen that Shola's out upto 6 weeks - so (dumb statement) he won't be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I think we should play a strong side too. Perhaps start Ben Arfa, rest Ba, drop Simpson, move Raylor to RB, play Santon LB, move Guti to RW and play Marveaux LW. Maybe rest one of Cabaye or Tiote and bring in Abeid, That just leaves the dilemma of whether to bench Taylor or Coloccini and bring in someone like Kadar or Perch (fucking hell).

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hoping and expecting to see Marveaux, Ben Arfa and Santon and would like to see Abeid although I think we need to keep a pretty strong team if we want to progress. This plus Vuckic, Ferguson, Sammy Ameobi and Kadar at least on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19743 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 we might actually see a team with more of the players we want to see starting - ben arfa, marveaux, santon etc - than we do in pardew's first choice 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 No Saylor (obviously) and Tiote has came down with a knee injury (hmmmm!) We should play nothing but a full strength 11 tomorrow. We won't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Let's see what the fringe players can do! Looking forward to watching this (if I can find a half decent river that is). 2-0 us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If Tiote is a possible miss for the Stoke game then that no doubt means he's out for a month which is a massive blow. We all know Smith and Guthrie aren't up to the premiership and Gosling hasn't done great so far. I'd definitely be looking to play Gosling though tomorrow in the hope that he still can improve and would be the best bet for the Stoke game (and is probably the most natural replacement for Tiote). As much as I want to see Abeid, I can't really imagine he's going to be ready to be starting premiership games away to stoke. I'm hoping for a good win inside the ninety minutes. Don't want extra time or penalties and not getting back up here til two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
