MadAmster Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 1 hour ago, jimtastic56 said: The Barrow game wasn’t a very good performance by any stretch. I hope Paul Warne has had a total re-think on how we set up away from home . It’s up to him - 3 centre half’s ? another holding midfielder? First away point of the season would be great tonight . As you probably realised, my comments were in relation to the League. Barrow showed that out "shadow XI" isn't of the correct standard. They are, however, good enough for the 1st team when needed as long as we don't have more than about 4 of them starting. As I said in the post to which you replied, apart from that mad 15 minute spell in the 2nd half at Blackburn, we haven't played badly away from home. Certainly, IMO, deserved a draw at Watford and we limited Sheff U to long range pot shots and their goal came from a dubious free kick that wouldn't have gone in if the outside man in the wall had been more than 5'9" and/or had jumped. We've played some of the better sides away thus far, namely, 3rd, 6th and 7th and tonight we play away to the team in 2nd place. Changing the setup? We set up to counter at home. I don't think he's going to try to play an expansive game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood P Dowd Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) My Newcastle supporting grandchildren brought this You tube video to my attention a few years ago. For those that don't know or just don't speak the "geordie" language a Makem is the nickname for people from Sunderland it may stem from the phrase "Mak ‘em and Tak’em" - with Mak’em being the local pronunciation of "make them" and Tak’em from "take them. One of the many origin stories behind nickname is the people from Sunderland make the ships and take them for testing. The clip was obviously made by Newcastle supporters when Peter Reid was the Sunderland manger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4oE4DT25ug I do like the faces of the monkeys ☺️ Edited October 1 by Elwood P Dowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to most of the away games and Warne seems to have agreed with me . He has switched things round for tonight’s game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Interesting to see how we do with the complete change of shape. I actually thought we’ve played pretty well this season in our current system, so hopefully it’s a case of being away to 2nd in the league rather than abandoning the whole system. jimtastic56 and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoghan1884 Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 I quite like that team and looking at the reaction on X, I’m one of few. Wilson and Harness will give with on attack I’d imagine with Chirewa and Kenzo trying to create. Osborn will probably play better in a position he’s played in a lot over the last few years. Interested to see how Phillips does, that back three if they have a good day will be very hard to beat with Ebou sweeping up in front and JWZ sweeping up behind them. NML and Jackson off the bench will bring lots of pace late on to tired legs. Ramrob, jimtastic56, Carl Sagan and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t quite have the impact he did last season. I am a bit surprised to see Jackson on the bench though. Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
