A justified one star from me - Predicting a Newcastle win on this board put your black and white shirt on Monday night

There's going to be so much focus on this match. Which I hate, as it always seems to make us tense.

If McClaren was still in charge I reckon they'd have gone for it, playing into our hands. 4-0

But unfortunately, now with Rafa, I fear a stubborn, well drilled approach, damage limitations and a hard fought draw. 0-0

I don't think Rafa has what it takes to get them out of the mess, he doesn't have good man management skills and I don't really rate him very highly as a manager. Big name but not right for a relegation battle.

We're better than them and we will be wanting to win so I don't care about additional effort they might put in, they can put in all the effort they like and we'll still beat them.

I think we'll be all over them early doors, go 1-0 up and cruise to a resounding victory and leave Rafa thanking himself for including a get out of jail free card in his contract. Newcastle do not worry me at all.

Zero chance of that. You mistake what I think may happen for what I want to happen. I'll be very happy if Arro is right -again.

I don't give a stuff about the irrelevant starring system btw.

2-0 Leicester. Alot to ask ffrom Rafa to get these players going after 3 days of being in charge. Should keep them up though.

Its quite possible Newcastle will be completely disorientated, due to the 2 day intense training/instruction Rafa will try to impose.
Give it 20min, we score and they will have no plan B
a complete collapse = comfortable win.

They have some good individuals, Newcastle. I think they are in a false position because of how poor McClaren is as a head coach, but still no better than top half.

This has given them a chance to stay up, and a better chance for Monday. Players tend to raise their game for a new coach, and Benitez is a big name. I don't particularly like him as a coach myself, but I think they will raise their game for him immediately.

Whether that's enough to get anything is another thing. It depends on them, and it depends on you and how the pressure affects you

Not long enough to have too much of an impact...... Would of preferred the new manager stuff to of happened after the game but we want it more!! 3-1

Every player trying to prove something to the new manager! Do not underestimate that or them got a away win or score draw written all over it.....Unless an early goal then all bets are off

This Monday night football playing havoc with my work and travel schedule in Germany Fly in tomorrow and back early Tuesday

There will be a Benitez reaction we can be sure amongst Newcastle players. He is also past master at setting up not to concede goals. If fit - expect Tiote to be let off the leash with a take no prisoners mandate. Look out Kante and/or Danny . Colback to be given man to man on Mahrez. Also Coloccini will be back again if fit with Benitez demanding more experience.
Will be tough so we supporters need patience and show nerves –keep the noise up!
Meanwhile my colleagues here who support Hoffenheim – are today making Kramaric their hero with a critical winning goal this weekend in their relegation fight.

Should be an easy away win. Time for Leicestershire season to crumble.
