lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 11, 2017 Even if we win today, changes will have to be made for Tuesday imo and knowing that Mr Squad Rotation at Newcastle will make several changes for Tuesday from his team today, what changes would you make to our team today and Tuesday? The Huddersfield game at CR was a bit of a reality check when Huddersfield made five changes from their Saturday game and were way fresher than us that day. Benitez will do the same on Tuesday.So if you could make five changes in the team, what would they be? For what it''s worth, here''s my choice. Assuming Naismith still out and the back four and gk to be the same for both matches (can''t see any better than what we''ve got there), that would mean the five of the front six players changing. Today - Howson Godfrey Jarvis Pritchard Josh OliveiraTuesday - Howson Tettey Jacob Wes Wildschut Jerome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted February 11, 2017 I ideally wouldn''t make five changes in midfield but we don''t exactly have much ability to rotate at the back.If we have to make five though (assuming no Naismith...)TodayHowson, GodfreyPritchard, Wes, JoshJeromeNewcastleHowson, TetteyJacob, Pritchard, YanicNelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Too much tinkering and we lose the momentum from winning games.I still believe Wes should have been at least sub against Wigan.I find it hard to believe that a fit footballer doesn''t want to play as much as possible, and surely must be able to play just 20-30minutes midweek after a weekend.

morty 0 Posted February 11, 2017 I doubt, very much, that we would change 5 players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted February 11, 2017 Cant even think about Tuesday yet, could be injuries, red cards etc, lets focus on today, and tonight / tomorrow can start to think about the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 11, 2017 If I could play 1 striker in both games it would be Nelson Oliveira. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted February 11, 2017 How about we get today''s game out of the way before we start about dropping players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 780 Posted February 11, 2017 I expect it will very much depend on which players are freshest on Monday and Tuesday, it''s inevitable that there will have to be some changes due to four games in eleven days. Big difference between being able to play every three or four days and being at your best for every one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
