Newcastle EFL Cup predictions, 23 Sept

[Sakhalin Shrimp]

Hopefully we’re beginning to get over Saturday’s result by now, please make your predictions for the score at the end of normal time.

I’ll go with 1-1

Mrs Sak says we’ll lose 1-3.

[cragbankshrimp]

2 - 0 defeat

[RapidShrimp]

0-2 loss for me. I’d love a 0-0 and a win on pens but I’ll go for a repeat of 7 years ago!

[paschahound]

3-0 Shrimps win.

It all depends on what sort of team Newcastle put out. They got thrashed 3-0 by Brighton on Sunday and are away at London's biggest club next Sunday. They are playing in the EFL tonight so will it be a strong team tomorrow in which case we could lose 0-3. If they play a youthful team I fancy the Shrimps to win
2-1.

I will go Morecambe to win 2-1

[Bristol Shrimp]

Hate to say it but I'm going to go for a 4-0 defeat.

[Keith]

Which way will they go? After a crap game & result on Sunday, will they want an 'easy' game for their first team to get confidence back? Or will they rest for next weekend, seeing that as much more important?

Likewise of course, after Saturday, we're owed a performance, so will we bounce back strongly?

I suspect they will be taking this very seriously and regardless of what we do, 0-3.

But I tell you something, I will love it, I will love it if we beat them...

2-0 defeat

TBH the 'weakened' team Newcastle put out in the last round were lucky to win 1-0 against an admittedly very strong Blackburn outfit. I'm assuming they will play a similar team against us so I don't think we'll be trounced, but I still think a 0-2 loss.

[marky No.1]

Maximo isn't available, so that saves us 2 goals

3.0 loss

[Zippy]

0-2 loss

[Alan]

Looking at the stats for the last round Rovers had 65% possession and 16-5 shots but 'lacked the cutting egde to prise open a stubborn Newcastle defence'.

Hopefully we can find a 'cutting edge' as they may feel they don't have to be as 'stubborn' against a
league 2 side.

So with my usual blind optimism, I'll go for Morecambe 3 v 2 Newcastle.

[Morecambe Jack]

Morecambe 1-3 Newcastle

[Freez]

1-2 to the Toon.

[Redalert1970]

Southend game on Saturday is far important

Morecambe 1 Newcastle 4

[MfcChris]

2-0 loss

[HALMA 1983]

0-2 and focus turns to another important away day victory

[bigbobshrimp]

2-0 Morecambe win

[jbc.shrimp]

[marky No.1]

Shrimps 2 - Toon 2.

[Vinny]

I think Derek will demand we defend better than we did against Cambridge and make better of chances we create. Shrimps 1 - 4 Magpies. Phillips. COYS!!!

[MFC-Manc]

Sod it..... home win 2-1
