Match Thread Newcastle v Bradford Wed 24 Sept 19:45 Carabao cup

I reckon they see it as a win-win prediction. If City prevail, they're happy, of course. City lose, 'I told you so.' I think it's cowardly. They make me despair.

 

But not wrong pal

Game over good night people.

 

"we've been here before, we've been here before.... Just like at Chelsea, we've been here before"

 

Touray and Halliday have swapped sides.

Is this to try and cut out inside balls?

Bit odd.

 

Well that switch at full back is clearly working wonders

 

The only thing I can see in our favour here is that Ramsdale is absolutely dying to get involved so there could be some kind of blunder at the back.

 

You’ll regret it when it’s a penalty shoot out

 

midfield needs sorting

 

Horror show from GA. No press with Powell on and midfield getting overrun

 

GA trying to be too clever.

 

If id paid money and travelled two and a half hours up for this I’d be livid Kev. Big day out and GA back to his old tricks, picking a baffling team and making baffling in-game changes, now.

 

I think this was pre planned by GA. The league is paramount for us. The only good thing to come out of tonight's game will likely be Cookie monster getting on for 15 mins.

 

If no one has mentioned it the ref is Thomas Kirk of Swindon away infamy last season. The 4th official is well known EFL ref Anthony Backhouse who’s refereed us many times in the past

 

Coronation Street is looking more tempting. Toothless attack and patched up defence, midfield chasing shadows. Win against Blackpool and all will be well again.

 

A bit harsh - we’re playing a world class side here.

 

I do appreciate that we are playing Premier League players but the time and space we are giving them is criminal. There is no pressure on the ball.

 

Jesus fook!
Ref helping Newcastle players off the floor?
What shit is this?
Pampered twats!

 

Nope pick the cheque up from gate receipts and beat Blackpool. That’s his thinking tonight.

 

Great ball Tommy
