Howmanheyman 26789 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 They brought a few up in the FA cup in 87. Think Graham Carr managed them then and they were flying at the top of the fourth division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AASjajw9rYQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Somehow "Flying" and "Fourth Division" used in the same sentence made me fucking laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They and Preston NE pissed that league that year and were breaking records and after getting Northampton we got their title rivals in the next round.

The Fish 8989 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Why am I worried McClaren will start a decent side, but will struggle to get the job done? Is it replays or extra time/penalties? It's extra time and penalties. Thanks Google Edited August 24, 2015 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You look at the players on the bench who haven't featured much and you've got to fancy them to control the game. The likes of Aarons, De Jong, Thauvin, Tiote, Cisse etc. They're a cut above League 2 players. I assume Toney, Lascelles and Darlow will get a run-out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'd really like us to field a strong team against Northampton show that we mean business I'm sick off going out in the early rounds of both cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14584 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We went out in the last 8 last season with a fairly full strength team at Spurs, getting twatted 4-0. We sadly still had Pardew as manager which goes a long way to explaining that...also the third choice keeper wasn't much cop either.. Newcastle United 31 Alnwick 36 Dummett 06 Williamson 02 Coloccini 19 Haidara Booked 07 Sissoko (Anita - 74' ) 14 Colback 20 Cabella (Vuckic - 80' ) 17 Pérez 11 Gouffran 29 Riviere (Armstrong - 60' ) Substitutes 08 Anita 23 Vuckic 32 Armstrong 34 Streete 37 Satka 41 Woodman 44 Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 That team is garbage, mind. We look a much better outfit this time around. Aided by some decent management too like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Steve McClaren quotes released by the club after today’s press conference: “We will be putting out our strongest team possible, taking into account Saturday, this weekend and the strength in the squad. “The cups can be a great boost for you. Nobody wants to lose a football match. We have to do a professional job. “Northampton are a good team who are strong. In football, any team on their day can beat anyone. If we’re not right, they will hurt us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I expect Willo will play. It's probably his level but I'm still hopeful he will be left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4218 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'd go for Darlow Janmaat Taylor Mbemba Haidara Tiote Thauvin de Jong Aarons Mitrovic Perez Wouldn't start Taylor tbh, if Colo, Mbemba and Janmaat are going to be 3 of our first choice defence I'd start them as they need game time together, the understanding between the 3 hasn't been good enough yet. No surprise since they had no preseason together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke v WBA Villa v SMB Southampton v Norwich We might well be, but who gives a shit? It's still only August man and we've taken points from Man Utd and Southampton. We've had (arguably) the toughest start in the league and done ok. Wouldn't start Taylor tbh, if Colo, Mbemba and Janmaat are going to be 3 of our first choice defence I'd start them as they need game time together, the understanding between the 3 hasn't been good enough yet. No surprise since they had no preseason together. Fair point, just worried about burning Colo out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
