Has Chris Hughton got a death-wish ?...is he underestimating The Reds ?...is he more interested in Premiership survival ? Has he never heard of JC and JB ?....any opinions on this snippet from today's NUFC Website ->

Fringe Stars Get Chance To Impress

By Dan King
Chris Hughton plans to give some of his fringe players some action at Accrington on Wednesday - but he insists that the Carling Cup is a tournament that Newcastle are taking seriously this season.
The Magpies manager will make changes from the side which thrashed Aston Villa 6-0 on Sunday, but Hughton will still be setting out a side he believes can win against the League Two side.
"For us, it's important but it's also an opportunity for us to play a lot of the young lads, Hughton told nufcTV, who is likely to call upon the likes of Haris Vuckic, James Tavernier and Ryan Donaldson alongside some senior players as Barclays Premier League survival remains the priority.
"We will send a completely different team down to Accrington. We felt it would be the right thing to do with where we are, and it's also part of the development of some of the young players we've got. "It gives them an opportunity to play games that they'd find very difficult otherwise."

He doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously methinks !...so GO AND GET 'EM YOU REDS !!.
