Chris Hughton makes three changes to the side which won at Sheffield United on Monday night.
As expected Steven Taylor returns for Tamas Kadar, Danny Guthrie comes in to give some creativity in midfield in place of Nicky Butt, and Marlon Harewood will get his big chance in front of the Newcastle fans this afternoon.
It looks like we are playing 4-4-2 with both Andy Carroll and Marlon Harewood up front – and that’s good.
Taylor is back from a three-week hamstring injury, and Ryan Taylor, surprisingly gives way to give Danny Guthrie a chance.
Of course this team selection will be based on how the lads have looked in training, and it looks a creative side ready to score some goals – and that’s good.
The subs bench is particularly strong – Tim Krul, Nicky Butt, Ryan Taylor, Geremi, Nile Ranger, Tamas Kadar and Peter Lovenkrands – so Chris can change the game if he needs to in the second half.
We would like to see Peter Lovenkrands coming through more than he’s shown so far this season, but Ranger, Lovenkrands and Taylor (R) are 3 players who can score goals.
Alan Smith wears the captain’s armband again because Butt is on the bench.

Ah!!! I am so amped for this game. Does anyone know where i could get a live audio or video feed? (I in South Africa).
I love the line-up, looks good
HOWAY THE LADS!!!
2 filthymag // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Looking for a feed too. Still a little unsure about Harewood. His game against Donny Rovers was shocking
3 Big Dave // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Steve R you should get links for the game closer to kick off
4 Thump // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:34 PM
@Steve R: Check about five minutes before KO. JustinTV usually has some audio streams so have a deek around there.
We should be playing 4-4-2 Diamond seeing as we’ve been fairly successful with that in the past – with the same midfield iirc. I don’t see why Hare is up with Carroll, though – we need some pace up there.
I wonder how McLoven is doing with his family issues, though…
5 Ed Harrison // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:36 PM
3rd placed Cardiff getting beat 3-2 at Swansea with 5 minutes to go ……
6 alkinou // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Does anyone knows if there’s a chance to have a video stream or will it most certainly be only audio?
7 filthymag // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Perhaps Hughtons plan is to fool them with Harewood and then stun them with Ranger?
8 filthymag // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:43 PM
C’mon Swansea!
9 Edd Case // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Cardiff lost, just need links now…
10 Danish_Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:52 PM
Would’ve preferred R. Taylor in the team rather than Guthrie. Let’s see what Harewood can do today; this is a big chance for him. Glad Hughton does not feel obliged to play Butt when Smith-Nolan is our best CM pairing.
I think Jonas will get his first goal for us today!
Subs should be Ranger for Harewood at some point, and R. Taylor for Guthrie at some point.
11 yemozone // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:53 PM
cardiff lost

14 yemozone // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:54 PM

15 sportsdirect@stjamespark // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:55 PM
lets hope we win and bromish lose today this could accutaly be the break through for us if we can get a win today.
16 sportsdirect@stjamespark // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:57 PM
Howay the lads@!!!!!!*
17 micbush // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:57 PM
Chris Houghton sees the players in training everyday, so i guess we’ll have to trust him.
unless we lose of course
18 sahota // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:58 PM
guys link for radio plzzzz
19 Thump // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Lads there aren’t any video links – no recording this game at all.
Audio is as good as we’re going to get.
They’re coming out onto the pitch now.
20 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 3:59 PM

Ah well, hope he scores a hattrick!

How many times 2day will I hear
“Harewood just couldn’t quite make it!”
Jonas had a good chance…..
27 Shah // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:15 PM
I think CH is starting with Harewood to see whether he is worth keeping, thats the only explanation i can come up with
28 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:18 PM

This has all the makings of a blow out. I have to say I like the feeling
47 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Nearly 3
Jonas playing really well…
48 Kevin // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:24 PM
We need a blowout to make up some ground on goal differential…let’s keep the pressure up lads!!
49 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:24 PM

WE ALL OVER THEM!!!!!
EASY 4-0

51 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:24 PM
Jonas off……. !!!!!!! must have a knock!!!!!!!
52 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:25 PM
Sounds like we’re absolutly all over them. Wireless says we’re looking like scoring every time we go forward, creating chances at will and Pboro are all over the place.
Jonas coming off, he’s done his groin.
53 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:25 PM
ryan taylor on
54 Big Dave // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Kevin never worry about goal difference we just need a good blow out for the good of it mate

56 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Even Harewood’s sprinting now…. lol… comon double figures
57 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:29 PM
Announcer keeps praising Harewood. Prove it with a goal and I’ll believe
58 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:31 PM
Guthrie off the post…..

You are welcome!
Hope we can get 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10………goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and correct for the first geal was spiderman!!
anyway~~~!!!!! Win more! more goals!!!!!!!!!!
60 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Who wants to be the first to mention the creativity without Butt in the lineup?
61 Kevin // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Good point Big Dave – nothing like a good ol’ LASHING to make my Saturday. Jonas’ groin went apparently. Hopefully it won’t be too bad.
I agree wit Toon_Fresh – it’s a results-oriented business, Tortoisewood!
62 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:34 PM
Simpson hurt now too
63 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:37 PM
how did spiderman get a hurt??? Serious???
64 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Sounds like he just pulled his groin. Didnt say how serious. Probably wont know yet
65 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:45 PM
Hope so ^^
66 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:46 PM
don’t get a deep hurt
67 Big Dave // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:47 PM
anyone else notice how much we have slowed down from Jonas came off
68 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:48 PM
yes
69 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Yeah he’s such a crucial player for us. Some people dont like to admit it because of his crossing but he takes people on and really sets the pace for us
70 Fans Should Own The Club // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Sounds like the boys have taken their foot off the gas a bit… don’t like that. By the sound of it, we should be able to thump them for 5 or so.
71 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:49 PM
peter lovenkrands?? may be can speed up the winger side
72 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:50 PM
We slowed right down when Jonas went off….. we just gonna play for the 2-0 win now…. hope not.
73 Fans Should Own The Club // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:53 PM
I don’t think Lovenkrantz plays well on the wing, really.
74 Alex // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:58 PM
where is lualua ? he could maybe bring a bit of pace on the wing , but never seems to make the bench . Is he injured ?
75 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:59 PM
who will be suitable then, if not peter??
76 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Does anyone know if Jonas did his celebration?
77 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:00 PM
I would imagine the commentator would have said if he put the mask out. Maybe it was in his shorts a little too long and got a little sour…
78 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Danish- i think we’ll have 2 do with just RTaylor
79 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:02 PM
sorry i ment zangwill (no i’m not on the drink)
80 Fans Should Own The Club // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Can Lualua play on the left?
81 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:03 PM
No mask, gotta have Ranger on for Snailwood 2nd half.
82 BT9MAG // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Hmmm, to be honest, every time I’ve seen LuaLua i’ve not been overly impressed.
He never picks his head up and runs around like a headless chicken, turning in circles and then losing possession…
83 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Harewood injured
84 will die for the toon army // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:11 PM

92 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:15 PM
3-0, another excellent goal from simpson this time.
93 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Is S Taylor on the pitch? never heard his name mentioned (on Real radio)…. Colo mentioned once or twice.
94 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:17 PM
STaylor is deffo playing
95 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:18 PM
Mactoon-aye he’s on, but when was the last time you heard Harper mentioned lol. For once it seems like its entirely one way traffic.
96 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:19 PM
lol, Harper had to make a save.
Surprised S Taylor isn’t bombing forward trying to score too.
97 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Lol just heard S taylor mentioned
… in their penalty area
98 ark13y // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:21 PM

100 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:23 PM
best performance of the season is what they’ve said
My bet = 5-0 Nolan and Ranger next goals
101 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Great save, Harper for England.
102 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Mboro Loosing aswell!

Boro one nowt down
105 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:27 PM
I didnt actually realise how badly boro were starting to slip up. Definitly dont think Strachan is the answer, i dont rate him too highly to be honest.
106 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:29 PM
did gutierrez get out the mask??
107 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:29 PM

Boro losing.
Time for CH to make a change or two and give some of the lads a rest.

totnham 2 surland 0
110 will die for the toon army // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Now we should go for Adam Johnson
111 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Marty-agreed. 3-0 up with 21 minutes to play, get Harewood off and stick Ranger on. Sounds like we’ll be happy with the 3-0 here though, rather than pushing on for more.
112 AndyNUFC // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:35 PM
I’d go for Adam Johnson like, we need a decent winger, and somebody with a left foot would be a nice change.
113 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:37 PM
GET RANGER ON FGS 15 minutes left.
114 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:37 PM
Ranger on
115 Toon_Fresh // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:37 PM
coming on rather
116 Marty-Toon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Ross ….true.
)
He is making a change now so he got the point eh!!
St.James making noise today and letting the owner know how they feel
117 toonsy // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Ross – I remember people saying Strachan would be ideal to manage the toon…. go figure
Adam Johnson would definately be worth a shout, agreed!
118 will die for the toon army // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:39 PM
What is CH doing Harewood aint going to score.
119 toonoholic // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:39 PM
i just woke up but is harewood having a good game ? if so all the last weeks slagging worked .
120 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:39 PM
Andy-i’d love him but Strachan has already said he’s powerless should he want to leave. I wouldnt be surprised if prem clubs look to snap him up in Jan. If not he’ll be gone next summer like, definitly.
121 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Ranger and Loven on 4 Carroll and Harewood.

crap 3-1
130 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:42 PM
doesnt matter
131 sirjasontoon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:43 PM
After a Shitty week of Toon Disinformation great to see a win…..Well done Jonas as well.
132 will die for the toon army // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:43 PM
toonoholic, he had an assist thats all not that good. He shld go back to Aston Villa.
133 sirjasontoon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Ross how can you be gutted with 3-1…..?
Fkin Lunatic.
134 AndyNUFC // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Offer £6.5 – 7.5M for Johnson I reckon. We are crying out for a good left footed winger.
Simpson’s out of contract at the end of the season too, so don’t pay a penny for him. Offer a pre contract in January and peanuts to Man Utd, if not, just re-sign him on a free at the end of the season.
To be honest, i’d offer Sol Campbell a pay as you play 1 year contract, pending promotion he’ll get an extra year. I think that would be best for both parties and show we won’t just allow him to fleece us like he did to Notts County.
135 toonoholic // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:45 PM
how long till ranger gets his first goal ?
136 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Would rather have Chris Brunt then Adam Johnson
137 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Would have liked to keep the clean sheet to be honest. Would like to see another goal to get the 3 goal margin back aswell. Sounds like a canny performance from us today though, Ranger got a massive ovation when he came on like.
138 will die for the toon army // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Guys a win is a win. We were happy with our 1-0s
139 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Harewood got a good applause as he went off aswell
140 Turkish Magpie // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:48 PM
will die for toon army- would you rather have 1-0 or 2-1?
141 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:48 PM
SJT- i wasnt meaning gutted literally, i just chose the term instead of “bugger” or something like that. Obviously i’m not unhappy about the fact we’re winning 3-1, that wouldnt make any sense.
142 AndyNUFC // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:49 PM
I’m happy with the points and 3 goals, but playing the second bottom league team, if we allow ourselves to become complacent when on top, then what sort of attitude is that to mounting a promotion challenge?
143 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:49 PM
hope 4-1 please
144 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:50 PM
come on ranger!!
145 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Ranger wont score, truthfully he’s not the player people think he is!
146 toonoholic // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:53 PM
perhaps he should be a winger then toon factor ?
147 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:54 PM
not sure that would work
or maybe he’s the new ameobi?
148 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Toon Factor-i’d say its more the role he’s been given. For his age, his hold up play is brilliant. He has a very good first touch and is excellent with his back to goal. He’s not playing the leading striker role being asked to put the ball in the net. His record whilst in the youths/reserves shows he can score goals at will for me and he’s scoring for England aswell. He’ll get his goal sooner rather than later and there’ll be more to come after he’s found the net once.
149 sirjasontoon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:55 PM
Only messin’ Ross
150 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:55 PM
finished! 3-1
151 dazza // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:56 PM

X-magpies who scored today:
Ambrose

152 MacToon // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:56 PM
GG, well done Hughton and the team, good and well deserved 3 points for a change
153 Toon_Factor // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:57 PM
dazza
you forgot about galvin zola
154 AndyNUFC // Nov 7, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Seriously if people start doubting Ranger then I may as well give up. Sick of fans jumping on player’s backs without giving them a chance.
Ranger is 19, and his hold up play is unbelievably good. He just needs a good run in the team to transfer his England U19 reserve level goal scoring tally to the Championship.
155 IrishMan // Nov 7, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Six points clear of the play-off places. Keep it up.
156 Ross // Nov 7, 2009 at 6:01 PM
sjt-i use the term gutted far too much mate. I could miss something on the telly and i’d claim i was gutted when in reality i couldnt care less,lol
157 Zangwill_Ho // Nov 7, 2009 at 6:09 PM
anyway good game
