Newcastle V Wigan Preview


Tomorrow we will see two different receptions to the two returning Newcastle players. Sibierski (who is a doubt) will hopefully get a tremendous reception for his efforts last season even though fans will agree he wasn't good enough for the club. Titus meanwhile what reception will he get the last time he played
at St James was the 2-0 defeat to Blackburn where he and dyer were violently (deservedly) booed from the pitch, I suggest we just laugh at him for the joke he was at our defence for 5 seasons, make him nervous every time he has the ball, hopefully Michael Owen will play because some of brambles worst ever games have been when he has played him. A Titus OG will do nicely tomorrow.

On things NUFC side, a good morale boosting win against Barnsley will surely bring good confidence against Wigan who I suspect will try and do what Aston Villa did and sit 8 men behind the ball and try to counter-attack us. They are
a worse team than Villa and hopefully we have learned lessons from that match. Good games for Cacapa, Enrique and Shay will hopefully see them make their first Premier League starts of the season. I suspect we will see the 4-3-3 formation again, but expect him to change it if things aren't going to plan at half time. On the injury front Emre again pulled off injured with an ankle injury so don't expect him to take any part, Barton, Duff, Carr, Ramage are all long term injuries and I don't have a clue where babayaro is like.

A win will see us equal start in the 2001/02 season where we finished 4th which hopefully is a good omen!!

Referee is the biased and Newcastle hater Steve Bennett.

Prediction 2-0 Hopefully Titus will have one of his off-days as he usually does, if that happens expect a larger score-line!!!
