I wonder if both managers know they can use another sub in extra time?

Really? Didn’t know that.

Very even game. Bell has improved. Bennett has got worse. Need to get more direct.

Can they? Not aware of that.

[SBlue]

Bell much improved 2nd half

[Mr. E]

F it anything can still happen. I see Dack getting the winner though. We have enough to see this through. Just please, please, please no penalties.

[Mike E]

Amazed Graham’s lasted the distance tonight. I’d look at gambling Butterworth in the second 15 (if not before).

[G Somerset Rover]

Sub wise I think I’d get the big Canadian on for Raya. Raya never gets near to penalties.

I assume it's still the same this year, dunno if you're allowed to use two in extra time if you've only used two in normal time though.

[Husky]

Benitez is such a plonk! He's supposedly prioritising the league. So instead of taking the 1-0 defeat at home he brought one of his best players on and got a replay. Then he brings a first teamer on at half time tonight and he gets injured... And here we are now in the replay into extra time. What a joker!

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ya, we have an extra sub. 

 

[Ewood Ace]

Nuttall much more effective than Brereton

[davulsukur]

Newcastles diving little scummer is now on.

[Gone to seed]

It's a better game to watch than last Saturday's dismal offering... I get the feeling next goal wins..

[OJRovers]

Nuttall looking lively again.

[AdamRochina]

Turgid game shambolic from both sides

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

a difficult watch. cancelling each other out.

[G Somerset Rover]

Nuttall at least has a bit of technique and makes life uncomfortable for defenders. 

[FGS5635]

Oooooo rothwell off that damm leash

[joey_big_nose]

I think the whole 343 has hurt our fluency. Don't really think we need 3 up front. Would have been better off with an extra in defence to help us retain the ball.

 

[Fraserkirky]

Tony forgot about the 4th sub, you can tell.

[G Somerset Rover]

That little clip there on BT sport of TM hammering tactics at Rothwell shows why he’s not trusting him. 

Looking forward to seeing him run at a tired Geordie defence.

Rothwell landing

[K-Hod]

I’d have put everything I own on Dack slotting that chance ?

[Husky]

That's £5 million off the transfer fee.

[AdamRochina]

Raya get fucked
