Sure, we are in the market for miracle workers. All gratefully welcome. We want as much help as we can muster because we have waited long enough.
Geordies have deliberately redressed the balance in their minds after the Liverpool sledgehammer that threatened to wreck our biggest day in 24 years.
The vast majority are back viewing the Carabao Cup final the way it was: a 50-50 encounter between two United teams of considerable stature fit to place before a future king - or FA president - should he wish to pop into Wembley on the way home to Buckingham Palace.

We want to believe not just with blind faith but total conviction as we did before Nick Pope unbelievably got sent off, Liverpool completed a never contemplated double, and United faced travelling to Wembley with a record of one win in their last seven Premier League matches.
So here goes. As a waiter for dreams to come true myself may I present a few Gibbo reasons to keep the faith that the first domestic trophy in 68 years might yet be claimed after a lifetime of abstinence.
Fairytale results DO happen. Did Sunderland not beat Leeds from a division up in 1973 (oh dear, that hurt) and Wigan defeat Manchester City at Wembley in 2013? A City side of Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Vincent Kompany, David Silva, and Yaya Toure.
What is more, Newcastle winning would not be the shock those results were. Not by some distance. Not to us. Maybe to the rest of the world who see us as an outside bet but not Geordies.
The league cup has also played for the romantics - Birmingham overcame Arsenal in 2011 through a last minute goal from ex-Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins and Blackburn surprised Spurs nine years earlier.
Oh, and Manchester United have fallen foul on the big day. In 1991 Sheffield Wednesday overcame them 1-0 and three years later Aston Villa coshed them 3-1. Let it be again!
Blimey, Newcastle themselves are the best example of a cup final won by determination and courage against popular opinion. The last time United claimed a meaningful trophy, the European Fairs Cup of 69, every neutral in football agreed they were facing the best side in Europe (Ujpest Dozsa) but the Mags won both legs home and away.
As for Pope's sending off the Magpies have been dealt a massive goalkeeper blow for a Wembley final before and still emerged triumphant. Long ago in 1924 United made the FA Cup final a year after Wembley had opened and were to play Aston Villa.
However in the match before the final keeper Sandy Mutch was injured and his deputy Bill Bradley had to step in which caused much concern and anguish amongst Geordie faithful.
Yet no United supporter needed to fear for their fate. Bradley played a blinder and United won 2-0 with two goals plundered in the last eight minutes.
Yes, yes, I know that United are taking up Wembley residence this time with their fourth choice keeper between the sticks - Loris Karius has stood behind Pope, Martin Dubravka, and Karl Darlow in the pecking order this season. But you get the drift.
A further reason to be cheerful? Well, Bruno Guimaraes is back and he's a lucky mascot as well as a top, top player. If you concentrate on the negatives then you could ruin a special occasion before it has started.
Manchester United's surge in winning form under revivalist Erik ten Hag at a time when Newcastle results and performances have dipped, a goalkeeping crisis, and the ruthless goal plundering of Marcus Rashford. Best not to go there.
Geordies are like a cork - you can put your finger on it and hold it under the water but let go and it pops right up again. You cannot keep a good man down.
As for Loris he needs Lady Luck to smile upon him instead of feeling the clammy hand of fate as in the Champions League final when he was accused of throwing in two for Real Madrid.
In a match up of coincidences Newcastle's last Wembley cup final 24 years ago was not only against Manchester United but also saw them embroiled in a surprise keeper switch.
Ruud Gullit picked Steve Harper to make only his 10th senior appearance ahead of club legend Shay Given who went on to play a record threatening 462 times.
The vulnerability surrounding Karius being forced into totally unexpected high profile action having rusted over two years of inactivity cannot be denied and was ably demonstrated by the lengths United went to in trying to protect themselves in the league cup semi-final against Southampton.
Instead of sticking the German on the subs' bench they insisted on Darlow being cover keeper for the second leg at SJP just in case. As the tie was on transfer deadline day the paper work was done and signed by all parties days in advance but held back until the very last moment. The match ended at 9.50pm with the deal having to be lodged by the 11pm cut off point. That is how much Howe wanted Darlow as back up rather than expose Karius. Now there is no choice.
Consequently the meanest defence in the Premier League - and it is still officially that - must revert to nature and protect him as best they can allowing Karius' confidence to stabilise and grow. It is more than possible. We wish him well. May he become the hero he never was in Liverpool's final.
There we are. I've done the easy bit throwing around positives amongst a Geordie clan always willing to see the bright side of life. Now let Newcastle United go out and do the hard bit. It can be done. Let all believe.
