In fairness Norwich went on a ten game unbeaten streak prior to their poor run, a luxury that hasn’t been afforded to Newcastle United this season.
I was going to write a match preview for the game, as I usually do, but my alarm clock either didn’t go off or didn’t wake me up so unfortuntely I haven’t had the time to do so. In a brief kind of preview though we are awful at Norwich generally, we’ve been awful all season and the stats don;t look pretty. That just about covers it really…
Dominating the build up to the game has been the stroy regarding the future of Fabricio Coloccini. Personally I think a big indication will be his inclusion, or exclusion, from the team today. I reckon if he plays then things may be getting blown out of proportion but if he doesn’t, what with being fit apparently, then something could be amiss and we may have to wave goodbye to the club captain.
Speaking of team news, it’s looking a little bit better on the injury front as Yohan Cabaye may make an appearance at some point today, Papiss Cisse will play and there should be a debut for Mathieu Debuchy after his signing from Lille just over a week ago. You can of course see full team news below as and when it becomes available.
Being a Saturday 3pm kick-off means that unfortunately we aen’t being broadcast here in the UK. However a rake of overseas channels are showing the game so hopefully a stream will be available. Normal rules apply, those being that if you happen to find a decent stream don’t be shy and share it amongst your fellow NUFC fans.
Which just about wraps it up. Will Newcastle manage to secure a first away win of the season or will we be faced with more travelling woes come full-time? We shall soon find out…
Howay the lads!
Norwich: Mark Bunn, Russell Martin, Sebastien Bassong, Michael Turner, Javier Garrido, Anthony Pilkington, Bradley Johnson, Alexander Tettey, Ryan Snodgrass, Wes Hoolahan; Simeon Jackson
Subs: John Ruddy, Elliott Bennett, Leon Barnett, Ryan Bennett, Danny Fox, Harry Kane, Grant Holt
Newcastle: Tim Krul; Mathieu Debuchy, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini, Davide Santon; James Perch, Vurnon Anita; Gabriel Obertan, Sylvain Marveaux, Jonas Gutierrez; Papiss Cisse
Subs: Steve Harper, James Tavernier, Gael Bigirimana, Yohan Cabaye, Romain Amalfitano, Sammy Ameobi, Nile Ranger
Three times in the first minute Norwich gift us opportunities to put a key cross or pass in and we throw it away with pure incompetence on every occasion.

lionspeed… you kidding right.. obviously not been following us this season. wanting is one thing.. what we expect is another… my confidence in our team to put on a match winning performance for a full game is pretty low right now.

Jonas at his best. Great run, **** final ball…. Just like the old days 😆

Big Dave – looks like you are right so far. 😥
So much for my theory 👿

Best run Jonas has made all season

Anyone got a working link ,can’t watch owt again

WTF Guti,
Watch, he’ll get one decent cross in by the end of the season and all the overly optimistic deluded fans will be saying: “And they say Guti has no final ball.”
JJ(Quote)
jt@83.. funny

Kim just close all the adds 😕
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Best sign I’ve seen all game is that Norwich look just as **** as we do…
Two great managers at work 😀

Ba’s been poor as well. Hasnt touhced the ball. Pards better stop pandering to him playing him in the middle
Johno Toon(Quote)
ffs Guti head the flippin thing
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
the cultured right boot of Mr M.Williamson
M(Quote)
fantastic defending Perch lad
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Tbh I think Debuchy is a talented player, but we’re he’s not going to be crazily better than Simpson. Simmo was actually okay. Bit of a luxury signing imo when we are in greater elsewhere on the pitch.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Well done perch
MDS(Quote)
Fucking hell. Almost a goal for them after a shocking touch from Cisse
Newkie(Quote)
Obertan is looking decent again…
Get Remy in and Ben Arfa on the other side and we look very decent up front provided there are no injuries.
Shocking defending from Williamson… WHO THE F*** WAS HE MARKING!!!!!
JJ(Quote)
Well done Perch
KIMTOON(Quote)
that was close
Wee Dede 9(Quote)
Actually thought that Jonas cross after his run was pretty good, if Cisse was on his toes he would have got to it.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Two defending in the box, and Willo runs to defend next to Krul… Its unreal… All he can do is header the ball.
JJ(Quote)
so there’s your thru ball to Cisse.
Hopeless finish 😳
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Solano
If Cisse was in the stands he would have got it mate… 😆

What have we been practising in training? Netball?

Wigan losing

@Kim
I hate that we even care about how Wigan are doing 🙁

We should be worried about the games tomorrow not fcking Villa – Southampton. Such **** times.

“Hooved long by Williamson with no great accuracy”
Pretty much sums him up. Fecking useless isn’t he…

I take it Big Mike hasn’t changed his game during the week. Cannot get pictures
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Another decent set piece from Anita, he has to be above Cabaye now for them. Shame none of our lot actually seem to want to attack the ball in the air
Newkie(Quote)
We are just waiting for Norwich to score.
Then we will start playing football
so far utter tripe from both teams.
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
That could easily of been an own goal then
KIMTOON(Quote)
Haha, great corner.
JJ(Quote)
Wow, why did I say that? Worst corner I’ve ever seen 😆 😆
Newkie(Quote)
wtf was that Anita utter bollix corner
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Frickin ***** corner yet AGAIN 👿
KIMTOON(Quote)
anita, awful corner that
Toon TRW(Quote)
Must have worked on that one on the training ground for weeks.
JJ(Quote)
@Newkie
Haha that is classic.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
BB… you suprised by that?? both teams are relegation fodder and void of any creative inspiration at at. long ball is all we know.
craig chisholm(Quote)
great kick Timmy 😳 😳
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Newkie, I think the only way we’ll score from a set piece is if it knocks one of our lot on the head as the stand flat footed.
JJ(Quote)
that was nere an OG for them 😆
Wee Dede 9(Quote)
This might be a silly comment but are we looking dangerous from corners.
I was thinking this morning we should just roll the ball to their keeper and get on with the game instead of going through all the slavver of putting players into the box
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Debbie goes down like he been shot then 😆 😆 🙄
KIMTOON(Quote)
Marveaux not even in the game. Beggars belief
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Are the Newcastle Shearer’s Bar staff playing a friendly against Delia Smith’s kitchen staff? Because I think they should be capable of better football than this…
JJ(Quote)
Southampton are above us now in the league
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
When we go forward its just a fucking mess
HBA39(Quote)
Pinnochio says our game is the most awful thing and cannot say anything good about it
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
Our play is just so lagged and slow. No neat triangles, no quick football. It’s just pure ****.
Colo would be class in midfield.
SolanosTrumpet(Quote)
Oba 👿
KIMTOON(Quote)
Look at the movement into the box! Its PATHETIC. Cisse is the only Newcastle shirt in the box with six Norwich defenders! Not one of the midfield have bothered to make a run or get forward.
Hopeless panicky amateur football.
JJ(Quote)
One thing is for sure. If we are relying on Cisse to score the goals to win us points then we are surely going down
