It depends on what centre back partnership we play against QPR (seeing as Coloccini is out injured) and if they can keep the in-form Charlie Austin quiet, if they do I'd expect us to win.

I'd like to see Dummett start in the middle. Sounds like Taylor is carrying a knock so could be partnered with Williamson. Janmaat and Haidara at fullbacks with Abeid sat just in front would be my guess.
Anyone up for the renaming of the ground to St Pardew's Park?
I wouldn't, as we've been on this sort of run before (winning run) and then suddenly gone on a bad run of results which hopefully doesn't happen again.
Delighted with 3 points. and probably 5th going into tomorrow is fantastic after such a grim start to the season.
I do think we need to be more clinical than we are currently which sounds harsh considering we've scored 9 and conceded 1 in 6 games but one of these days we're going to be punished for not taking our early chances.
But while we are winning it's all good. Settle for 4 points from our next 2.
Hopefully we don't go on a losing run (of matches) again now that we've lost, but with Sunderland (especially with our managers record), Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd in the next month, I wouldn't be surprised unfortunately with Pardew in charge.
Oh well Burnley away next in the League on Tuesday.
Disappointing game but I see this puts us top 8 for tonight at least. Is that not our level and ultimate aim for the season.
Big improvement needed for the next game on Tuesday but considering where we were not so long ago I look at our current position and think, this is okay :-)

It's a blow. But he should therefore be fit to face the top clubs in December. It's going to be a big month for us!

Starting Line Up: Krul, Janmaat, Williamson, Dummett, Haidara, R. Taylor, Sissoko (c), Colback, Cabella, Perez and Ameobi.
Subs Bench: Elliot, Streete, Anita, Gouffran, Armstrong, Ferreyra and Cisse.
So the only two changes from our win against West Brom are Coloccini and Abeid who are both out injured so Williamson and Ryan Taylor replace them.
Also there's three strikers on the bench.
I agree.

West Ham away next week.

:cool:
Krul is a doubt for the West Ham game this Saturday.

However Coloccini may return for the game.

It's not ideal but he's not confirmed to be out either and Elliott is more an than able deputy. It's all good for me.
Especially is Colo is fit.
Doesn't matter who's playing though it's going to be a very tough game.
Starting Line Up: Elliot, Janmaat, Williamson, Dummett, Haidara, Sissoko, Tiote (c), Colback, Gouffran, Perez and Ameobi.
Subs Bench: Alnwick, S. Taylor, Anita, Cabella, Armstrong, Cisse and Riviere.
and our League 1 [at best] GK is starting..
I agree that Cabella should start but goodness me that's harsh on Elliot. He's proven at this level and with Krul out, anyone else would be a risk.
Oh well Burnley away next in the League on Tuesday.
