We always seem to have a lot more injuries than other clubs, and there are signs today that injuries are starting to mount.
Joey Barton – injured foot
News today that Joey Barton has been ruled out of Newcastle’s trip to Ipswich on Saturday.
The midfielder is out with some kind of foot problem, and will not be available for the Ipswich game.
Chris Hughton said:
“Joey will not figure. He has had a problem with his foot of late.”
“It is a bit of a hangover from a problem he had earlier in the season, but we hope to have him back in contention soon.”
Barton joins a rather worrying and growing injury list for the Magpies, which already includes Danny Simpson, Shola Ameobi, Jonas Gutierrez and Tamas Kadar.
And with Danny Guthrie getting himself ruled out because of his red card on Tuesday night at Peterborough, Chris will not have too many players to choose from at Portman Road.
But whoever gets in the starting lin-up Saturday need to produce, so we can get the 3 points we need.

I said we weren’t going in administraion hence the sarcasm in my comments. I don’t think we’ll get taken over til Christmas, I just can’t see it happening really.

Aye one’s a Newcastle supporter in Skjelbred and Huseklepp I think would jump at the chance at playing in England. How long have we been linked with Skjelbred for seems forever, we are bound to sign him sooner than later.

Comment #45punk skunk
Harewood will be lacking in match fitness, would bring him on as sub for Ranger or Carroll on the hour. Exactly my point before the press like making us look like $hite, we are basically in peoples eyes the Ian Huntley of footy fans/club. Its unfair when clubs like Manure should be that or Spuds.

I think Ranger makes more of an effort on the pitch so I’d be more swayed to take Carroll off or give half a game. Carroll may have bagged a goal against Plymouth but he didn’t deserve it as much if Ranger were to score, he was lost all game til last 15 min. Heres hoping we can chant ‘Keano w**** his dog at weekend alot.

Comment #49Ranger, Carrol, Harewood, Ameobi, Lovenkrands. 5 strikers, that’s exactly what we need.
Now we need a winger and left back. Not so sure if we need a creative midfielder. Nolan, Barton, Smith and Jonas can create, but the first 2 seem to be in a form slump lately.

Comment #50Mag,
you could be right about Ranger, but i do think he dramatically changes the play, so, until teams fully realize that, he’s good change of direction durin’ the game…know warra mean?..

we defo need some creativity man, someone that can ‘unlock’ teams!..

Comment #52Well crosses and through balls by Jonas/Geremi/Taylor can unlock teams. Tbh I think people get a bit too hung up on the idea of us not buying an exact replacement for Emre. Plus i’m not exactly sure this league can accomodate a flairy player like him. We need some solid centre mids i’d say, which we have an abundance of. left Winger is where we need the service.

Comment #53punk skunk,
Aye he’s a bit like a impact sub atm but once he has this season and next years prem experience (providing we are promoted) he’ll be 1st name on team sheet, as next year is gonna be a big step up for him. We need 3 players still like the 2 norwegians I suggested and Bale, but none of them will happen til january providing we have a new owner by then.

Comment #54Emre didn’t play enough to matter…& we have enough ‘solid’!..It would add the final dimention!..
…Agree re: a winger tho’!..

Comment #55I hope I’ m wrong, but I fear another negative team selection on Saturday, giving the iniative to the opposition. I would not be surprised to see:-
Harper
R.Taylor S. Taylor Collocini Enrique
Geremi Smith Butt Lovenkrands
Nolan
Carroll

Comment #56Stuart comment 8……And who’s gonna stop us to get promoted.
Jonas coming back soon
Simpson coming back soon
Just put our team on the same scale with ANY team in the Championship,and you’ll see a huge difference.
Other teams in the championship would simply die to have Butt in their team.
Not to mention Nolan,Jonas,Taylor,Smith,Ameobi,Barton etc
We’re waaay to strong for them….only WBA could challenge us,,even they are not worthy oponents to us.
Promotion here we come!!!

Comment #57Aye a guess so. Get a left winger and a cover left back first and i’d have no problem with a creative mid coming in, but I don’t think its top priority.

Comment #62Please stop saying Lovenkrands is a winger you are as bad as Hughton and Shearer. He was crap for Rangers as a winger but good up front. The best games he has had for us he has played up front -he has not scored for us or played well while on the wing-He is not a winger.

How are you guys? I think Ranger and Harewood should start against Ipswich as both have pace and strength (…well, Harewood has good acceleration and Nile has the pace) and will be the Anelka and Drogba of the Championship 😀 …but i have a feeling it will be Carroll starting again.

Do you mean that one’s going to sulk until he gets a move away from the club that made him and the other will fall over at the slightest breeze in the most theatrical tumble ever devised? 😉

Comment #72Canny pleased with the capture of Harewood like. Hopefully he will actually get some decent game time and will bag a good few goals. At least he’ll offer us something slightly different up top. Anyone reckon we’ll see anything of him as early as Ipswich?
Off topic : anyone watch that Bo Selecta Michael Jackson tribute just there?..was slightly disappointed, not as funny as i expected!
