For this game I'd expect Benitez to ring the changes with one eye on our relegation concerns. Fringe players like Atsu, Clark, Longstaff, Manquillo, Murphy, Muto, to be given a chance to impress. I'd probably predict a low scoring game, low on chances, low on quality, low on entertainment. From our end anyway.

Those fringe players would walk into most Championship teams. Such is the difference between getting £6m in TV money or £160m.

Great hilarity at Burnley as they get a penalty (which it wasnt) but then as the guy is running up to take it the ref blows and ungives the penalty as VAR over-ruled it for offside (which it wasnt).

Nuttall just scores for the under 23s so isn’t in the squad

What a shambles! ... as John Claret would say.

Had the chance to sit in a box with Jacob Murphys parents today. However it is my daughter's 12th birthday. Asked her if she would rather come with me or go to her grandparents. Needless to say I am currently in the car off to the in laws with her wearing her spurs shirt. Bet365 it is for me.

Gates of 75K at Old Triffid and 55K at the Olympic Stadium but the dingles only manage 11K and I bet half of those were from Barnsley. 

Attendance today is anyone's guess.

There was no way OT was full today, there were swathes of empty seats. Reading brought 3,000, but there has been creative counting IMO.

                 Leutwiler

Nyambe  Lenihan Mulgrew Bell

             Travis      Rodwell

Rothwell                           Dack

            Brereton    Armstrong 

Strongest team but give some others a look.

Bet365 are legally streaming all of the 12.30pm kick offs in the FA Cup today in the UK.

Therefore I would imagine the Rovers game will also be streamed.

Do you have to be signed up and all that jazz in order to watch it?

Do not know if it is the same now but you needed a nominal amount in your account to watch streams (think it was $10 when i signed up, if you did not take any of the matched /deposits offers, you could withdraw that amount when you did not need to watch anymore streams without gambling it  )

Rovers subs: Leutwiler, Nyambe, Williams, Downing, Rothwell, Reed, Brereton.

Should be able to beat that team.

[Oldgregg86]

Strong team from Tony. I fancy this now 

COYB

Usual line up with nyambe and reed on the bench. Conway and Bennett in. Travis starts

[roversfan99]

Fancy us to win and good to see us putting out a strong team v a Newcastle second string,

Dont get why Bennett is starting at right back though, and I'm surprised that Brereton and Rothwell havent been given a start.

[philipl]

Eight changes by Rafa. Probably full strength from players available picked by Mowbray.

[perthblue02]

Palmer is ill and Rodwell out with a groin strain according to Rich Sharpe

Wow!

Think Newcastle see this as a hindrance with that line up.

Managed to lump on Rovers at just short of 4/1 - this is a licence to print money.

Two 'fun' bets: £5 on Charlie for 1st goal at 18/1 and £5 on 3-1 to Rovers at 46/1.

COYB.

 

 

 

[Mr. E]

their reserves vs our first team, we have to go for it

Their reserves cost about x20 more than ours. 'Lump on' though, what could possibly go wrong

[pick32]

Is this on tv?

You get a feeling about certain matches - this is one of them.
