Carroll back for Blackpool trip

Tue, 15 Sep 17:50:11 2009

Newcastle will welcome back striker Andy Carroll when they travel to Blackpool aiming to protect their unbeaten start to the season.

Carroll has missed the last four games with a groin problem but is now fit again, much to the surprise of caretaker manager Chris Hughton.

"In all honesty we thought the game would be too soon for him, but he has had two good sessions and is in the squad," he told the club's official website.

Meanwhile, Shola Ameobi is still recovering from his injured foot and will play no part and Alan Smith, who was sent off in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-0 win at Cardiff, must serve a one-match ban.

Nicky Butt will be pushing for a start after he could only make the bench against the Bluebirds following a dislocated thumb, while Peter Lovenkrands will also hope for a starting berth after featuring from the bench in recent weeks.

  7. Bad luck continue??? Its all good on the seaside rather­ be 13th than 23rd. No i wasnt even alive 1953 i was jus­ pointing out that for a such a "big club"­ like you are your no that much more sucessful than the­ "nothing club" like you say we are and you­ have to go back to 1969 as someone pointed out i also­ wasnt alive then.... You are only a big club because of­ you attendance nothing else. You have achieved as much­ as any "nothing club" surely u must agree for­ a club of your size you have underachieved for many­ years this is a fair point.

  16. We won the FA Cup in 1953 when was the last time you­ won a major trophy?? If we had the fan base and money­ newcastle have we wouldnt be in the championship... so­ yeah you are massive underachievers we have little­ money average attendance of 8000 and we are in the same­ league as you. In the last few years weve won the LDV­ twice at cardiff, League two playoffs at cardiff,­ league one playoffs at wembley and i think you would­ struggle to find a smaller club higher up than us in­ England big achievements what have you done?? survived­ a few seasons then got relagated joke for such a­ "big club" most big clubs have won something­ tho...

  18. SHAUN: I think every team that plays the Toon will be­ `up for it`. Just the name Newcastle United will be all­ they need to up their game.
    I was going to say 1-0 to­ the Toon, but I reckon 2-0.
