Steve Bruce's Brighton selection call has divided Newcastle United fans


Many fans were calling for Paraguayan Miguel Almiron to be recalled to the side but Bruce has opted to stick with frontman Andy Carroll with the Seagulls in town.
Here’s what #NUFC have been saying about the this afternoon’s team at St James’s Park...

Hide Ad@man_in_the_shed – “No central midfielders on the bench for #NUFC are both Longstaff’s injured?”
@EuannKerr – “Whilst most people think Miggy should be playing (and I’m one if them) I'm not sure who he'd replace.”
@NUFCIrving1010 – “Surely no one can complain about that starting line-up. If it’s not broken, don’t try and fix it. Good options off the bench also if the game isn’t going to plan.”
@ryanp88 – “Agree with Carroll starting, he looked good alongside Wilson last week. Feel a bit for almiron, he was excellent at the end of last season and played really well in the cup.”

Hide Ad@agbnufc – “Fraser and Almiron on the bench is not so bad, at least we have some options to change things, we usually have nothing. Let's see how it goes.”
@NewcastleToons – “The same lineup as last weekend? It should get the job done for #NUFC against #BHAFC but come on... Carroll over Almiron better not become the norm here.”
@whittick14 – “Good line-up.. Bring Fraser and Almiron in second half.. Fresh legs will help.”
@toonmadmag – “Well it’s the 4-4-2 let’s hope the front two can rattle that back 3.”
