Assuming Lovenkrands hasn't recovered by then, I think we'll see:-

Harper
Simpson, Coloccini, Kadar, Jose Enrique
Routledge, Guthrie, Nolan, Jonas Gutierrez
Best, Carroll

SUBS:- Krul, Tozer/Williamson, R. Taylor, Butt, Pancrate, Donaldson, Ranger

Personally I can see us struggling big time against Doncaster. Looking at them on paper, they do look VASTLY inferior to us, but they are doing well this season. They remind me of Stoke in the Prem in a way, in that they are individually relatively poor quality players, but they play very well together as a team. Our defence worries me. With Kadar in there, I think we could be in trouble against their forwards, who are decent. Billy Sharp has scored alot of goals for them this season, and James Hayter is also decent. Steve Brooker is also a big, strong target man who used to be very good for my local club Port Vale. He could well cause Coloccini and Kadar problems. In truth, I can easily see us getting beat on a Tuesday night in Doncaster. Theres a bit of the Scunthorpe/Blackpool about his one...

what a knob!  if we are 'like stoke' then im david beckham

[Superspy]

i think he's probably right in the way that he means we are like stoke. in the fact that we are (and have been for a long time) a team that is better than the sum of its individual parts.

obviously regarding brooker he's just looked at our squad and has no idea who is/isnt injured/unavailable

I don't know what's funnier about that post. The fact that we're like Stoke or the fact that Steve Brooker could cause Newcastle problems.

If we're like Stoke City then I must have been watching a different team all season and not Donny Rovers!

Try reading in what context he think's we're like Stoke then.

I didnt realise tuedsday night was a spelling competition.

Ask any manager in the league at this moment, whether they fear Steve Brooker ahead of Andy Carroll, and they'll all give you the same answer.

  Yeah, I'm sure most managers would be more scared of Lewis Guy this season than a cripple.

Someone also put this
\"The away fixtures are a mixed bag. We do have tough ones. I think Doncaster looks the hardest.\" on there forum. How great is it seeing a Newcastle fan putting something like that, just shows how much we've come along!

[The Red Baron]

Never mind Brooker- Tom Keetley's the one they should be worrying about.  

[Filo]

Yeah, that Jackie Milburn fella for them has me worried
