'Absolutely no excuses' – Newcastle United fans are in positive mood after seeing Steve Bruce's Carabao Cup starting XI

Can the Magpies make their first cup semi final since 2005 tonight? Fans on #NUFC Twitter have been having their say…

@ShaunIrving_ - “Strong XI, it’s a shame though that we’ll be deep in our own box terrified of little old Brentford...”

@megatoon1892 – “Basically full strength can’t knock the team.”

@SimplyAlmiron – “Good team. Miggy in the 10! Let’s get into the semi final HWTL.”

@Magpie24_7 – “Full strength. Please don't sit off them! A high pressing side we always struggle against when we sit off.”

@sixhourssouth – “If this team can't beat a decent Championship side, then we might as well just accept relegation.”

@MikeBakr – “Strongest team possible so no excuse not to have over 30% possession against a team in a lower division.”

@Seubz – “To be fair that’s probably the strongest team apart from Lascelles and Maxi.”

@Carl_TftG – “4-2-3-1? With Miggy having a free role?! I certainly hope so.”

@TheNUFCMags – “Surely enough to get the win!”

@sixhourssouth – “Looks like a 4 4 2 tonight with Almiron up top with Wilson. I think we'll be too much for Brentford tonight.”

@shaneyr34 – “Probably the best team line up I’ve seen in a while! Just needed it to include ASM.”

@PaulNic_Journo – “Very strong #nufc line-up tonight, and Brentford not starting Ivan Toney. Absolutely no excuses if we don't win this game! Zero... zilch... none!”
