Injury Update

Forshaw has said he's hoping to be fit for Saturday and if not will be ready to go for Villa.

Great news.

Side for Newcastle looks like it will be;

Meslier
Ayling Llorente Struijk Dallas
koch
Raphinha Klich Rodrigo Harrison
Bamford

with James as the senior player on the bench.
Forshaw possibly joining him.

Firpo, Roberts, Gelhardt, Cresswell & Shackleton all possibilities for Villa onwards.

Be nice if we could have 3 or 4 senior players on the bench following the International break.

Rumour of signing the young Belgian lad in the midfield would be nice. No idea if he's any good but have to trust the club. I get the feeling a signing like that could replace Shackleton and leave room for a high profile midfield signing in the summer.

Who do you play in the midfield if Forshaw isn’t available?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Koch with Dallas and Klich at 10. Struijk at LB for me. Its a must not lose game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Who’s in the rest of the defence?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Llorente and Hjelde with Ayling right back.

Why are you swapping Struijk & Hjelde after the West Ham game? I would keep them as they were if Hjelde plays.

It might be bait but this site says we're in for this bod!..

It says it comes from The Athletic, so no idea, but if I was a German Chairman I'd think before doing any deal with Leeds!..

I see us as a problem club for transfers in Germany!..

Germany, did the JKA issue with Leipzig ever get resolved?

I think I read the JKA court hearing's in March?
Could've dreamt it though.

steross, nope, that bill is still coming!..

A reason I said I'd be a bit unwilling doing deals with Leeds, the one with Leipzig still on going and one with Bayern that went wrong!..

And the Lasogga thing didn't go the way it was meant to, so I think German clubs will think twice before doing any deals with us!..

"I think I read the JKA court hearing's in March?"

Batty, not heard anything about that but it must be due!..

Just had a look at JKA on whoscored. He's played less than 45 minutes in the season and a half since he was at Leeds.

Great news.

I'm not sure I'd start Rodrigo. He looked lost yesterday.
Probably injury absence rust. However, James looked
and was a handful. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Bamford
as our advanced two. James playing the Rodrigo role.
Even if it's for a half. Curious to see it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree Batty! James was awesome chasing down their back line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rodrigo was excellent against the Toon last time out. This match is made for him.

Dallas has to start at LB for me. Starting a CB there is a recipe for disaster if they start ASM, and Struijk may be needed in the middle against Wood. I'd be tempted to start Rodrigo, and swap him for Bate at half time if it isn't working. Don't like the idea of Raphinha at 10.

Add Stuart McKinstry to the growing list of injuries, very marginal I know but reduces options even further down.
