Haven't seen him play but he only had 18 first team league matches there - including 0-7 beating by Celtic, 0-6 by Hearts, 1-4 by Aberdeen. I for one would be a bit concerned to see him make his debut in one of the hardest away fixtures of the season.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Who replaces Rosenior if he can't play Saturday?

He did and that was at the time effectively we lost out on promotion. I'm not saying that is his fault of course as it coincided with other significant injuries.
Goldson also had near on 100 league games under his belt, very different from a defender who has played once in the league cup against a poor reserve team.

Bloody hell, fair dos, good bit of research...but at least he has some first team experience.

White should be fine alongside Bruno and Dunk. I wouldn't hold any mistakes against him because every player gets something wrong during a game, but equally it's a good chance to rise to the challenge.

Might Goldson be back by Saturday? Seems to have gone very quiet on his progress. If he is fit then Bruno goes back to his usual position.

Silly old bat
He scored an own goal, and we lost 1-0
That's a better record than Duffy who is our alleged target.

If we are intending to use White on Saturday then one would think that he will play alongside Dunk against Oxford, instead of Dunk being rested.
Genuinely, of every single fit member of the Albion squad, Dunk is the absolute LEAST likely to be playing at Oxford in the cup.
He's our ONLY available senior CD, and has already started clocking up yellow cards. Not a chance.

So if we are going to play White on Saturday, you don't think it would be neccessary to play Dunk and White in a competitive game on Tuesday as prep?

We did that against Colchester plus they have training. We need to rest Dunk to avoid any possibility that he will miss Saturday for whatever reason. We may have a ref like Mike Dean tomorrow and anything could then happen as he considers that he has to be the focus of attention in all games

Nope.
The benefits of playing them would be FAR outweighed by the risks (of both injury / suspension) in playing them.

Uwe is back tomorrow so I assume he'll play on Saturday if he comes through ok and LR is out.

He is only on 2 yellows and not likely to get a red or get injured unless one has a pessimistic view on it. I just think that if Dunk and White have to team up against Newcastle it would be an advantage to them if they played together on Tuesday. The Cup games are quite important for us and Ince isn't a CB anyway.

Against Oxford?

If Goldson is in the squad for Oxford, he will 100% start v Newcastle. He did have part of a pre season also.
