Eddie Howe has just announced the Newcastle Team for the tough league game at Aston Villa tonight.
We were expecting Miggy Almiron to start but that’s not the case, but Almiron is on the bench, with Murphy keeping his place on the right wing.
Unchanged. ?

Comment #123Is Isak a bigger sicknote than Wilson.?
Neither get injured in tackles
They just stop playing.
Those types of injuries are recurring.

Comment #125Bad man management again on isak behalf I’m afraid.came bk from injury and constantly plays 90mins without rest it was always going to end up in another injury.

Comment #127Best we’ve played in ages. Very impressive display.
Massive bad luck with Isak. Hope Wilson is back next match or we may be forced to explore the loan market for a striker….

Comment #129It’s getting to the point where we’ll need at least 2 forwards in the next window with Isak and Wilson as backups I’m afraid

Comment #132So impressed with the lads so far tonight. Its been a brutal winter, getting pummeled from every direction – unprecedented injuries and the maddening status of having immense wealth and being wholey unable to do anything with it. Talk of having to even sell to maintain a status quo adding insult to endless injury. Some collective premier league foot firmly on our heads, keeping us in place. The character of the squad has been immense though, maybe Eddie is fostering a nice angry seige mentality. HWTL. Id love it if we beat these cnuts

Comment #134Played really well. Eddie has outcoached old Dick Emery tonight. Credit to Eddie.
We may fall apart but that first half shows we can still produce the goods.
Gordon has been beautiful. Miley and Bruno good an all.

Comment #135Think Isak will be less if a sick note when he has a strike partner who also isn’t consistently injured.
At the moment, Wilson is injured so much that Isak is probably coming back slightly earlier and having to play more than is ideal.
A striker who isn’t injured all the time, means Isak can recover 100% and be rested to avoid injuries when he isn’t 100%.

Comment #136Isak i`m sad to say might just not be cut out for the physicality of the premier league, shame as the lad is such a terrific striker.

Nobody said they are.
Isaks is because Wilson is never bloody available to let Isak recover fully or rest.

Comment #144A third would be good to coast it.
You just feel we might get put under pressure in the last 20 when we do not sub tired players

“It would be nice to get a goal tonight at Villa, our record there is woeful
We have failed to score in our last 4 away games there so even a goal would be a bonus.
I`ll stick with my 2-2 prediction.
HWTL”
Hope you’ve got the second 2 correct, or wrong if it’s 3 or 4 also hope you got the first 2 wrong – let’s hope that stops at Zero!

Comment #147Bumped into an ex colleague from years back and was told that Miley is the grandson of one of my other ex workmates.
I had never made the connection even though the surnames are the same.
His family are rightly proud of the lad and so they should be, I’m convinced he’s gonna be a fantastic player.
We’ve been the better team that first half, just need to get the 3rd goal and secure the win.

Comment #150Great first half spoilt by another fkin injury, honestly this is beyond a joke now.
We haven`t got one option up front now, maybe Isak`s injury could be the excuse to get a striker in somehow, i can`t see it though.
I just hope we can hang on in there tonight , we were superb 1st half..

Comment #151We need to spend big now and sort ffp out in Summer. Dont see why 6 months will make a big difference to finance. Shirley any negative expenditure can be remedied in Summer with player sales and less spending?

Comment #152The midfield three is more balanced with Miley on the left than Longstaff.
To be fair think if Joelinton was fit, I would play Miley ahead of Longstaff even on the right.
