Sheffield Wednesday defeat the best thing could happen for Newcastle United - Hindsight alert nufc
Opinion25 seconds agoHowever…this Sheffield Wednesday defeat could be the best thing that could have possibly happened for Newcastle UnitedExactly a year ago today, I think the home defeat to League One Cambridge United in the 2022 FA Cup third round proved, with hindsight, to be the best thing that could have possibly happened on that afternoon at St James’ Park.
Anyway, that didn’t happen. Newcastle United knocked out of the FA Cup and out of nowhere went on an eight match unbeaten run, picking up 20 points from a possible 24 in a two month period that effectively took Newcastle magically out of relegation trouble. We have a group of very good quality players, then we have another group of decent to good players, then we have…the rest. You then have injuries / illness / fitness issues hitting those numbers further, in terms of availability at any particular time.we may well look back on defeat to Sheffield Wednesday as having been crucial in helping to create potentially the best ever day of our NUFC supporting lives…If Newcastle beat Leicester then we move on to this scenario.
The weekend in between, of Saturday 28 January 2023, is the weekend when FA Cup fourth round games will be played.There had been a possibility of the outstanding West Ham away game in the Premier League getting played that weekend, if both teams lost this weekend, but the Hammers won at Brentford yesterday. Meaning West Ham will have a fourth round FA Cup game that weekend.
Reality tells us that a Carabao Cup final would be absolutely massive for us as a fanbase and as a club, a possibility to finally break this horrific run of 54 years without any trophy and 68 years without a domestic one. They desperately need Champions League football and beating Barcelona would then need them to win just three more ties and the Europa final to get a trophy and more importantly for them, Champions League football.
