Hi Gang
Newcastle travel to the rejuvenated John Smiths stadium as we host our first EVER home game in the Premier league! Still seems surreal,but hopefully we're being recognised for that right reasons now.
Last season Rafa tactically outsmarted Wagner and his game plan was superb, Newcastle won that game 1-3. Newcastle at the time were the "big boys" in the league, but now we play on a level playing field, and yes they are a big club with great support, but they're not the "big boys" in this money rich league.
Team news; Huddersfield Town
Town are without four players, Martin Cranie, Jonathan Hogg, Jon Stankovic and Nahki Wells are ruled out with injury. So hopefully we'll keep the same team as Saturday, it's just a case of keeping everyone happy.
Team news ; Newcastle United
Paul Dummett and Florian Lejeune were both taken off with injuries against Spurs and both will miss the trip to the Jss.
Jonjo Shelvey will serve the first of a three match ban after his opening day red card, while DeAndre Yedlin and Jamie Sterry are doubtful, however Newcastle have their new signing Joselu on standby to make his debut.
Town have played Newcastle 62 times in our history in all competitions, with a record of won 21, lost 26 and we've drawn 15.
Possible line ups ;
Town likely XI: Lossl; Smith, Zanka, Schindler, Lowe; Billing, Mooy; Kachunga, Palmer, Ince; Mounie
Newcastle likely XI: Elliot; Manquillo, Mbemba, Lascelles, Clark; Hayden, Merino; Ritchie, Perez, Atsu; Gayle
Who is the ref?
South Yorkshire official Craig Pawson will be the man in the middle on Sunday afternoon. Another Yorkshire ref!
My prediction;
Town to lose 1-2 and Rafa to outsmart wagbo again,then we'll be back to relegation fodder.
and if the targets are hit, however, it's highly unlikely with Newcastle having no fans on here, and us having the usual 6.
UTT

Think we'll look abroad again, less money in the game means better deals, potentially. Think we're in for Jay-Roy Grot.
That Mounie you got looks good

He is Harry
A real work horse, Mounie will only improve too, he looks a bargain buy at this stage.

As usual Newcastle will lose this match and then go on to beat big clubs.
