The opposition are Morecambe and the ground is sold out giving the League Two side what will be a record attendance at their new ground, the Globe Arena.
As pointed out in my match preview, Newcastle have not lost a second round League Cup in 23 years but there is a sniff of an upset here. You always know there is a chance of an upset when Sky decide to to televise one of these matches and sure enough they will be at Morecambe this evening.
The good news about that is that it gives people who aren’t at the ground a chance to watch the game, and it also means that there should be some streams knocking about. Normal rules apply, those being that if you find a decent stream then please share it with your fellow Newcastle fans by leaving a link in the ‘comments’ section below.
I’m unsure what kind of team we’ll be naming if I’m honest. Part of me says that we should name our strongest team which should, in theory, give us the optimum chance of progressing. The other part of me is thinking perhaps some first team players should be protected on the basis that we don’t have adequate backup to take on a Premier League team should those first team players pick up injuries. We’ll know soon though and all the team news will be detailed below.
That’s about it, I don’t really need to waffle on about the game any longer. Will we record our first win of the season or will we be on the end of another early cup exit?
Howay the lads!
Morecambe: Barry Roche; Mark Hughes, Tony Diagne, Andy Parrish, Andrew Wright; Ryan Williams, Stewart Drummond, Andrew Fleming; Kevin Ellison, Jack Sampson, Padraig Amond
Subs: Andreas Arestidou, Robbie Threlfall, Alex Kenyon, Marcus Marshall, Chris McCready, Joe McGee, Joe Mwasile
Newcastle: Rob Elliot; Mathieu Debuchy, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Curtis Good, Paul Dummett; Gael Bigirimana, Dan Gosling; Sammy Ameobi, Haris Vuckic, Sylvain Marveaux; Yoan Gouffran
Subs: Jak Alnwick, Davide Santon, Remie Streete, Vurnon Anita, Moussa Sissoko, Hatem Ben Arfa, Shola Ameobi
A good dominating win, that’s all I ask. Don’t have to blow them away, just pass it well and keep possession. A 0-2 win will do just fine thank you boys.

That team should be good enough.
Should 😳
That’s what worries me 😕
toonsy(Quote)
I must be on my own here but I feel good about this. The only change would be Saylor for MYM just to avoid him being injured while Saylor is suspended.
Any team without Oba in it has a chance IMO and Marv and Gouffran could click I think.
Very brave line up from Pardew – hats off for that at least.
Sharpy17(Quote)
I’m happy with the lineup. Although I would have liked Cisse on the bench to let him get on against tired legs to get a goal and try give him some confidence.

Just sack the ****
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
JJ – yeah that would probably benefit him hugely but at least it gives him a chance to look at Goofy through the middle
Sharpy17(Quote)
Cisse on the bench? Dropping him is the only thing the clown has got correct
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
vuckic to have a stormer for me
come on the lads…
mark(Quote)
c’mon then lads
KIMTOON(Quote)
Why does Elliott keep hoofing it up the pitch. Construct an attack
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
3 mins of exchanging hoofs
M(Quote)
Mark – agreed. Of all the young uns coming through he’s the one I think could make it if he has a good run of games and avoids injury.
Looking forward to see how Good and Dummett get on as well.
Sharpy17(Quote)
win it, get it back to ur keeper before u lose it…. and hoof!
M(Quote)
They ain’t shy to attack then 😉
KIMTOON(Quote)
Toby…Don’t blame Elliott, he’ll only be following orders 😉
richietoon(Quote)
Bit of last gasp defending there 🙄
KIMTOON(Quote)
looking very flimsy indeed
M(Quote)
**** me off the line 😳
KIMTOON(Quote)
**** me 👿

we are under pressure against a league 4 club. ***
HBA39(Quote)
We’re being outclassed – 0 shots on target to Morecambes 4 !
SteveP(Quote)
Debbie knacked good and proper there ,welcome to the lower leagues lad
KIMTOON(Quote)
If that was Tiote he’d have been off.
Newkie(Quote)
well done gosling.. Debs squealed like a ***** there 😆
mark(Quote)
Sammy looking ok actually ,shame no one can get on the end of anything , 3 chances he’s created now
KIMTOON(Quote)
Debuchy isn’t up for this – squeaking like a girl
SteveP(Quote)
Mokambe have look the other games, they saw that Debuchy is the weakest in our defense
HBA39(Quote)
He has many fans on here but I am sorry Marveux brings nothing to the party
Toby le Rhone(Quote)
HBA39 ,your not wrong mate
KIMTOON(Quote)
off the line again ffs
richietoon(Quote)
Was that over ❓
KIMTOON(Quote)
So, two cleared off the line so I see our defence doing well…
Stuart79(Quote)
This is embarrassing
KIMTOON(Quote)
We are feckin *****, we are feckin *****
SteveP(Quote)
Gosling 2 saves on the line, maybe he could replace Simpson
HBA39(Quote)
Vuckic looks like a guy who hasn’t played in a year
M(Quote)
@Toby le Rhone
I feel the same way about Goofy. neither a forward or a midfielder . just falls short for me… early days yet tho
mark(Quote)
Well our fringe squad haven’t really improved at all since last season. Sammy, Gosling, Vukic, Bigi, Marveaux all still absolutely light years away from EPL quality.
Sammy’s final ball is constantly ****. 👿 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
on a positive note, Good looks composed passing into midfield
M(Quote)
at the moment only Sammy has bring something and gosling who saved 2 goals. The others are ghost.
How we cannot make 3-4 short passes and control the game against a team like that, here we remark that we really lack some good players in the middle of the pitch to control the game.
HBA39(Quote)
SteveP@40, couldn’t put it better myself mate. We have so many players who are not interested in putting there body on the line, cowardly.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Trying to head it in from way too far out
Newkie(Quote)
and now Debuchy start like Simmo with this kind of long balls in the box, for anyone. Its not a cross, not a pass, and we loose always the ball.
How can Pardew not tell the players to stop this kind of shity dead balls in the box, only Andy carrol can do something with this kind of ball
HBA39(Quote)
Fuc man can one of our front men actually GENUINELY with some kind of enthusiasm attempt to win a high ball ? Fucking ****.
Munich Mag(Quote)
we need to wake up and turn up here 👿
KIMTOON(Quote)
Headless chickens.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Panic stations every time they attack – Gosling doing okay, along with Sammi (if only he could actually cross)
Marveaux MIA again
stevep(Quote)
Marv has been *****, if he wants to get a first team place these are the places he needs to work hard and show he can put effort in for every match, but he never seems bothered in cups 😕
Newkie(Quote)
for god sake ,well done Elliott
KIMTOON(Quote)
Morecambe fans singing “Premier league, you’re having a laugh”… tend to agree 👿
Another FANTASTIC save double save from Elliot. We could be 3 down. 👿 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Do not know what Sammi is bringing to the party, 3 crosses without even looking, when will Pardew learn Marv is not a winger
ash1001(Quote)
we suck in so many different ways 😀
M(Quote)
like a wall of giants
KIMTOON(Quote)
decent effort Bigi
richietoon(Quote)
decent freekick
mark(Quote)
we could easily be 2-0 down right now. We are lucky to be still in the game.
HBA39(Quote)
At least bigi got it on target, if he could learn a bit more from cabaye in the next week that would be handy 😆
Newkie(Quote)
Bigi with a Ronaldo shot 😯
toonsy(Quote)
Nice free kick Bigi. First time i see him on the TV today
HBA39(Quote)
Forwards not challenging for the ball
ash1001(Quote)
why the hell bigi cannot explain to Benny how to hit this kind of freekick
HBA39(Quote)
Watch Sammi, he can hardly get his breath
ash1001(Quote)
not lucky there sammy
HBA39(Quote)
I don’t understand why by now our fans haven’t realised that Pardew has the ability to make anyone look ****.
No point criticising anyone under him. We could sign Messi, he’d look dog ****.
Probably play him as a defensive midfielder.
I feel sorry for anybody who has to play the shower of **** he dishes up in the form tactics and fluidity.
I don’t even care if we sign anyone anymore. Under him there is no point. He gets worse by the day. I say put Joe in charge. Couldn’t possibly be worse.
JJ(Quote)
Good shot from Bigi, and a good 10 minutes from the toon.
Marveaux is really poor,
Munich Mag(Quote)
Actually you’re right – Sammi looks completely knackered – does he not do any training at all !
stevep(Quote)
Elliott having a good game ,thank god
KIMTOON(Quote)
well, i had us down for relegation last season but we scraped to stay up.. this year i think we are going to be 20th and rock bottom.
craig chisholm(Quote)
Marv always goes MIA on the wing. He is influencial and our most creative player when played as a no.10. But f#$# head Pardew can’t see it.
