Chumbawumba Cowboy Cup Draw

[Barmitzvah Boy]

An easy draw: 3-0 to Rovers

Last time we played up there we drew . Would have won too but for Benitez putting Shelvey on for the last 20. NUFC not really firing as yet are they? Absolutely mullered for 5 by Boro and now beaten at home by Stoke.

Knock out Newcastle and the 4th round looks a possibility!

3rd Round :

Morecambe/Oldham v Newcastle Utd/ Rovers

Just glad we didn’t draw the Dingles .

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Toon v The Mighty Rovers for £10

Watch Rovers at Newcastle United tonight!

Rovers fans will be able to watch this evening's Carabao Cup tie away to Newcastle United live online, whilst access to matches remains restricted to supporters.

I don’t see any need to step foot in a football ground again. Rovers would save a fortune by selling Ewood and showing all games for £10 each rather than bother with dastardly fans and stewarding costs.

Don't know if this counts for the prediction league but if it does 2 - 1 to Newcastle.

For some reason we generally perform better in the North east than the South coast but putting that aside very much depends on Bruce's attitude to this Cup. If he plays the kids we could easily win, if he plays the first team it'll be tough. A fine 0-2 opening day away win on Sat at WHU but with some mixed pre-season results including defeats by Boro (5-1) and Stoke (0-1) from the championship kind of makes this difficult to predict...... other than to predict that it won't be 0-0!
They've signed Callum Wilson from Brighton and they have of course the unpredictable and dangerous San Maximin up against our leaky back 4 eek but apart from those two plus the muscle of Carroll, the marvellous midfield orchestration of Jonjo Shelvey and the attitude of Ritchie the rest are relatively ordinary. I doubt Bruce will play all 5 though so much depends on his selection.
One pointer might be that NUFC don't play after tonight until they entertain Brighton on Sunday. Brighton probably being seen as more of a 'must win' game by Bruce than if they were playing a top Prem team.


EDIT .... many changes tonight by both teams throwing all our predictions to the wind. Of the above 'danger men' I identified only Ritchie will be playing with San Maximim on the bench. As for us Rothwell and Dolan starting with TM's lovechild again leading the line and thankfully a pretty strong bench.
2-2

Strange changes by TM Dolan and Rothwell start Johnson and Armstrong missout,Amo is on the bench,thought the defence would have had changes but in TM I have faith.

No video for me tonight. I find it rather odd why people outside the UK are not allowed to buy a match pass for this game. I’m sure the clubs want all the money they can get as they split 50/50 and no one is allowed in....very strange decision this.
