'More of the same' – Newcastle United fans are impressed with Steve Bruce's Crystal Palace selections

And here’s how Newcastle United fans reacted to the team news, even though Allan Saint-Maximin did not make the XI…

@RowanBarua – “I might sound delusional but I actually think Bruce may have found a winning formula. Confident of at least a point tonight and putting a good amount of pressure on Palace. Decent chance of a win.”

@DanMcmahonF1 – “Surprised that Dubravka is still not starting. Darlow did really well in his absence, but surely there's no doubting who the better keeper is ultimately.”

@jackm1892 – “A win tonight would mean I’ll start to not worry again. I think 15 points will make us safe as houses.”

@nufcsanjay – “All we ask for is the same level of performance as Saturday. Same intensity of pressing, same aggression, and the same attitude in possession. Play the same way, and we'll definitely win tonight."

@connorlinsdell9 – “Can’t be just me that thinks if we play the way we didn’t against Everton that Fraser and Wilson are both going to have worldies tonight.”

@GallowgatePete – “Be looking to really drag those slow CBs out tonight, they’ll sit deep surely. A lot expected of their midfield 2 to protect them.”

@StevenNUFC – “Apart from the obvious replacement in defence with Clark replacing Lascelles then it's the same team from Saturday can't argue with that.”

@geesingh1 – “Everyone buzzing and feeling so confident and positive about tonight’s game ,,, watch us go behind in the first 5 mins lol.”
