Saint-Armstrong Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 I might be wrong but isn't the Cork goal being described the one from the Subderland game? Seems to be a mixture of the two. Steven Davis' assist is right, not quite sure how Dušan ended up in there. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 In the USA the game is live on NBC (think BBC/ITV). Anyone with a TV will be able to watch it (won't even need a poxy license!). This is the first time Saints have been live on terrestrial TV over here. Nice one. Def need to win 4-0 now. I don't see why not. An early goal. Attack. Job done.

OttawaSaint Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Lived in Newcastle for a bit. Went to the one when Kevin Davies put us ahead only for an aging John Barnes to notch a brace to win it for them. The next one I went to, Doddsy was sent off early doors, Shearer smashed in the penalty and taunted us in the away section, ****. They won 4-0. I walked home in my saints shirt getting dogs abuse from all the barcodes in the bars. Hoping for a with tomorrow to ease my pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 A key component in today's game will surely rest with Jack Cork. He had 45 mins. run out with U21's in the week, but here's hoping he can last a full game - without further injury. Our midfield looks a bit lightweight and inexperienced without Victor and Morgan, and Toby's absence doesn't make life any easier. If we come through unscathed, and with the points - it'll rate as a game on a par with MU win (IMHO) but for different reasons. A chance for Academy lads to make their name, if it doesn't go horribly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Its gonna be our 3rd win on tv this week I have no doubt. 2-0 win with Elia getting on the score sheet, I think this might be his break out game and setting up Pelle. Will be an interesting battle with Betrand v Jaanmat on our left, the battle of the full backs but obviously him being ex-fey ron will know how to negate. Looks like it will be cold up there at kick off (accuweather real feel -3c) so drink some whisky or vodka if your going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 This was our team for the Everton game as a comparison when we were hit with injuries, not too bad, we've lost Toby but can add Corky, also have Elia and Tadic. 23 Forster 02 Clyne 06 Fonte 03 Yoshida 21 Bertrand 17 Alderweireld 28 Reed 08 Davis 16 Ward-Prowse (Targett - 80' ) 07 Long (Gape - 89' ) 19 Pellè Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belief / spirit is also through the roof at the moment, whereas we were on the back of 5 defeats and a draw when starting this one. Given Newcastle's own run and loss of Cisse the first goal howver it comes will be vital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Who are the 7 then? Morgan, Toby, Big Vic, Tadic and possibly Bertrand. Who are the other 2? JRod? Plus 1? The 6 are Vic, Morgan, Toby, Yoshida, Mane and Mayuka, but should also list JRod and even Gallagher, so thats 8 already (admittedly you could argue Gallagher is not a "senior"), so if we lose Tadic and Bertrand that's 10 players out altogether, and clearly another couple (Cork and Davis) who are not 100%. We really have to learn for next season, this is the second year running when we have tried to work with a ridiculously small squad, been brilliant when our best eleven or so are available. We are 3rd at the moent if we can get through today without losing this would be a terrific achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
