HoylandOwl Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Pre match press comments from DM First we have tomorrow's game, and then we will be having a conversation with Cardiff. "Whatever happens, we should be very happy with what Mark McGuinness has brought to the club, he's been tremendous." "If he goes back to Cardiff, we wish him all the best and thank him for his contribution. "If he stays, we welcome him here with open arms." 💬 "We don't expect Barry to be out for long, just a few weeks. "He'll follow the programme, as much as we all want to see him back, Baz has to take his medicine and recover." 💬 "As an individual, Eddie Howe is a credit for our professional game and it's great to see what he's doing in the Premier League. "It's a fantastic game with two historical football clubs with big fan bases." 💬 "When I first saw the draw, I was just pleased for the fans. "An FA Cup game at Hillsborough, under the lights, live on TV. It will be a special occasion for everyone." 💬 "We want to progress for fixtures like this to become regular for the football club. "The youngsters tomorrow will get a taste for what their parents were used to. Our long term goals are to get the club back to those levels. 💬 "For Michael Smith, it's a special time. "Dreams can come true, and when the draw was made they certainly did for him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It’s likely to be an all new defensive unit against Wycombe if McGuinness goes back. We can either play that defensive unit tomorrow against Newcastle, or not risk them, play McGuinness and kids and see what happens. League and ensuring we don’t lose defenders is key, so I’m more inclined to not risk anyone. I would rest Vaulks, Byers and Windass). I’d certainly start Adeniran, Bakinson and Dele. I’d give Wilkes another game. Jack Hunt can also have a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Promotion is the only objective this season, even if we manage to get past the Geordies (which I cant see happening). Id play MM if he can play, it might help us avoid a pasting. It also might make him slightly less attractive to returning to Cardiff, but everything points to that happening even if DM says its not final. Obviously Id 'love it if we beat them' but a draw say 1-1, 2-2 would be a good result. Id play a fairly strong team but would protect anyone not 100%, eg Byers. Id certainly want to give Famewo more game time, he will need it if MM is going. Really hoping Brown doesnt get thrown in because hes a liability, but I could see DM thinking about it if he tries to rotate the players. I fully expect Iorfa to play and potentially with him as RWB and Palmer as right centre-half. My team would be Dawson, Iorfa, Palmer, McGuiness, Famewo, James, Vaulks, Adeniran, Windass, Paterson, Smith Subs: Stockdale, Hunt, Johnson, Bakinson, Wilks, Dele-Bashiru & Shipston Eddie isnt taking us lightly and certainly after last season KO by Cambridge, remember them? A glimmer of hope might be that theyve got a League Cup game mdiweek which I assume theyll fancy so maybe theyll keep some players back for that, but itll still be a strong squad. Im going for 3-1 to the Geordies and 1-1 at H-T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Byers and Vaulks are like terriers in the midfield, but when we win the ball we don’t know what to do with it - usual problem of not being able to string two passes together. But they’re battling hard and are giving Newcastle a good game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Definitely a lower threshold for what constitutes a foul when playing a Premier League side. Good first half, decent end to end game. We’re giving them a genuine argument. Was hoping for a bit more from Fizz, maybe we’ll see it in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The back three and Palmer have been very good defensively. Vaulks excellent. Dele not been good. I’d be hooking him on 60 mins if he doesn’t improve. The rest have been ok, but on the periphery. Decent first half display as a group though. If I was DC, and presuming he can, I’d Chuck half a million at Cardiff tomorrow for McGuinness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
