Match day thread - NUFC v Cardiff

Post by Toondes » Sat Jan 19, 2019 6:54 am

Cardiff City (h)

Newcastle return to Premier League action at SJP on Saturday, when Neil Warnock's Bluebirds roll up for an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm kick-off.

United go in search of a tenth successive home league victory over the Welsh side, whose last league success on Tyneside was in November 1963.

In terms of top-flight meetings between the two clubs at Gallowgate, United have won nine and drawn one since Cardiff's 1-0 victory in April 1926.

Tickets remain on public sale.

The NUFC Fans Food bank collection stall opens on Strawberry Place from 1pm. Food or cash donations are equally welcome!

NUFC: Paul Dummett and Jonjo Shelvey remain out but Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark, Fabian Schar, Isaac Hayden, Kenedy and Mo Diame should all be available for selection following various problems.

Ki Sunyeung and Yoshinori Muto remain away on international duty at the Asian Cup.

CCFC: Sean Morrison misses out and there are doubts over Danny Ward, Kenneth Zohore, Victor Camarasa and Kadeem Harris.

City are attempting to sign two strikers in this window; paying a club record £18m for Emiliano Sala from Nantes and loaning Oumar Niasse from Everton.

Niasse's loan move was duly confirmed on Friday, as news broke that Sala was in Cardiff for his medical.

However, Nantes are attempting to delay the deal to allow him to play for them in the French League on Sunday.

Since winning their first PL away game of the season at Leicester City last month, City have failed to score in three games.

Aside from that three point return, Cardiff recorded 0-0 draws at Huddersfield Town and Crystal Palace. Their other seven trips all ended in defeat.

Their tally of six away goals in 10 games is the lowest in the top flight, with two of those coming during one game - a 2-3 loss at Watford.

Pizza and a pint £7

This game is going to be absolutely dreadful to watch.

This is a must win. A 6 pointer if there was ever one.

Performance, scoreline, method of victory are all irrelevant. We just need to win.

It's going to be terrible and very very cold. And I'm only wearing two pairs of socks.

Quite possibly the first time I'll not bemoan the ban on televising 3pm kick offs.

Speaking of televised football I see Ayr United's game against Auchinleck Talbot can be watched through the BBC Sport app.

0-0 at half-time.

Auchinleck had a goal disallowed as well :)

Ayr have gone off the boil a bit in the last month so they've rested most of the first team for this and Ayr don't have a big squad so could easily be an upset.

Hopefully Schar plays further forward...

Presumably 3-4-3 tho? Also Schar and Lejeune are probs two of our more creative players!

Full team:



Glad to see Longstaff starting and Roberts on the bench - shame Fernandez and Kenedy aren’t fit though.
I had the first custom w***

3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1?

Just get Rondon the ball. I have a good feeling about him scoring today.

Early goal is crucial I think.
