SuperSAINT Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Interesting to see how many changes we make with Newcastle away a few days later. Ralph tends to go fairly strong doesn't he? But we have more options now. Think the Newport manager has COVID, so their assistant will be in charge.
ErwinK1961 Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Forster, KWP, Stephens, Bednarek, Perraud (we have no one else), Diallo, JWP, Redmond, Armstrong, Broja, Tella. JWP missed pre season so needs some games. Hopefully Stu is back but if not, stick AA in and move Tella to wing.

macca155 Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 I suspect it will be something like. Forster Valery Bendarek Salisu KWP Rrdmond Elyounoussi Diallo Tella A Armstrong Broja
AlexLaw76 Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Got to win in 90 mins. Forster Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Stephens, Perraud Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Tella Armstrong, Adams Broja to get a decent run-out, and Perraud to to maybe swap with Valery and put KWP at LB
S-Clarke Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 I'd imagine Forster will play, along with KWP, Bednarek and probably Diallo. Might get a chance to see Broja? And we'll probably have to put up with Redmond too. We can 'almost' put out a totally different team, I do think we have better depth now.
Baird of the land Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Hope there’s a lot of changes Forster kwp bednarek salisu perraud romeu diallo redmond elyounessi broja tella
SambaMaverick Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Kitman KWP, Simeu, Bednarek, Perraud / Valery Diallo, S.Armstrong Redmond, Moi Tella Broja 7
Saint Garrett Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Looking forward to a little trip to wales! Forster KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud Armstrong JWP Diallo Redmond Broja Tella

You just know it - perfect hat-trick then standing with his hand on his hips out on the wing miles from the ball at St James Park Saturday and in for the next 6 games. 2

Buzzing for this one, new ground to tick off, lower league Cup away day even better in a foreign country. I reckon we'll make at least 7 or 8 changes. Good omen, last season we drew Shrewsbury in FA Cup close to Welsh border, beat them with their manager missing due to covid and we ended up getting to Wembley, hopefully same again.
Saint_lambden Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 I think you mean the EFL Cup @SuperSAINT. The EFL Trophy is that competition shite teams in League One and below like Pompey enter 1
woodsaint1 Posted 22 August, 2021 Posted 22 August, 2021 Would go with Forster Valery Bednarek Salisu KWP Redmond Diallo JWP Elyounoussi Broja Tella Whats apparent from that lineup is how much we need a backup LB and another CM (with Smallbone being injured). Would prefer not to play Valery, or play KWP out of position but needs must. Same with one of JWP/Romeu having to play again. Heres hoping that Lyanco is being viewed as a low lying DM and we're still in for another CB. Ralph did mention about interest in a CM a while back but it seems to have gone quiet on that front
Saint_clark Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 I'd like to see us play mostly our first choice team, only changes I'd make are Adams for Tella or Broja, JWP for Diallo (or S. Armstrong if he's fit) and Walcott for Elyounoussi. All the others you'd think of resting - Tino, A. Armstrong, Djenepo, Perraud and the CB pairing - could all use as much game time as possible.

aintforever Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 I would rest as many as possible to keep them fresh for Newcastle, probably go with: Forster KWP, Simeu, Bednarek, Valery Diallo, S.Armstrong Redmond, Moi Tella Broja 1
AlexLaw76 Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Simeu and Broja, one is in the U23s/B team, the other has not featured at all, are not going to start. Unsure why people believe they will (unless it is what they want to see, not what they think they will see). Also, Newport have a decent record of beating higher placed teams in the cups.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Got banana skin all over it this one. They’re a good team. Having said that we really should be putting three past them and a comfortable win. Expecting big changes to starting 11 including Forster and Redmond as dead certs.
Ldnsaint Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Forster, Valery, Bednarek, Salisu, KWP Redmond, JWP, Diallo, Moi Armstrong, Tella Don't rate Elyounoussi at all but may as well give him some gametime if he's staying. Perraud for Valery if he's going to leave this summer. Broja off the bench, Maybe some minutes for Finnigan/Chauke too if we're winning. Should get an idea from the u23's lineup tonight. Newcastle playing Burnley Wednesday so they'll have to play a few first teamers too.

He’s more than ready by all accounts and Chelsea haven’t sent him down here to not get game time. Ideal opportunity for all.
igsey Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Last chance to put the fringe players in the shop window. Expect to see Valery, Moi, Long, Obafemi feature.
Dr Who? Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Would like us to take the competition seriously and we normally do. Adjust for the level of the opposition and try out some fringe players and test out a few things, but progression is a must. February 2017 was a fantastic day, well until right at the end. I want to experience more days like this and get over the line this time. 1
TWar Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Forster Livramento simeu bednarek Valery Armstrong Diallo Redmond Elyounoussi Broja Tella Maybe A. Armstrong in the place of Redmond (with Tella dropping back to AM) if he feels like he wants the minutes and a nice confidence boost

Just been having a look, there is a 2 Wetherspoons not far from the ground called "The Godfrey Morgan" and "The John Wallace Linton". Doesn't seem to be many options really...no idea what they'll be like with away fans, I know nothing about them! "Potters" pub seems to be a more stylish modern sports bar jobby which looks quite nice. Edited 23 August, 2021 by Saint Garrett

Sideways Jim Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Forster Valery Bednarek Salisu KWP . JWP Diallo Elyonoussi. Redmond. Broja. Tella
mcbendy Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 I wonder if we'll see Caleb Watts? He's not in the B team squad tonight. Forster Valery. Bednarek. Salisu. KWP JWP Diallo Watts. Elyonoussi Tella. Broja. If Stuart Armstrong is fit again, maybe he'll get some minutes, but presumably not 90
Dusic Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Brand new pitch, likely to be problematic. I wouldn't play JWP considering his injury but he always seems to play so imagine he will alongside Diallo. Surely front 4 is Redmond, Moi, Tella and either Long or Broja.
Minsk Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Personally, I will be amazed if the 9 on the bench Sunday aren't in the starting 11 for this one. That would mean Forster (GK), Valery (RB), Bednarek (CB), KWP (LB), Diallo (CM), Ely (AM), Redmond (AM), Tella (FWD), Long (FWD) - although he might switch Redmond and Tella. So the main questions are will it be Stephens or Salisu at CB with Bedders and who will partner Diallo at CM, Romeu or JWP - or, possibly, Caleb Watts? Subs likely to include Lewis, Broja, Obafemi and whoever from above that doesn't start.

I doubt we will see Simeu on Wednesday, given he played the full 90 tonight. Plus I don't think Ralph would take the risk. He likes a cup run and the team posted above should be enough to win this match (whichever options he goes with).

Agree though, the 9 subs from yesterday plus 2 others ought to have enough to win. 1
Baird of the land Posted 23 August, 2021 Posted 23 August, 2021 Don’t see much logic in starting long.
