Here’s a short interview Eddie Howe gave after the game, and the Newcastle head coach was pleased with how the lads applied themselves this afternoon in London.
We were helped by Chalobah being shown a red card after only 8 minutes after a high tackle on Sean Longstaff and that helped to turn the game in our favor.
Goals from Wilson, two from Miggy Almiron who had a great game and Sean himself gave us the win with De Cordova-Reid scoring late on after 88 minutes, to prevent the clean sheet.
Here is the video – which is not the best quality, but you can easily make out what Eddie says.
We now have 11 points from our first 8 games with 2 wins, one loss and 5 draws.
Howay The Lads!!

Comment #2“I’m so frustrated and disappointed.
“We haven’t started the game again, which is proving to be a real problem for us this season.
“I think it’s about the seventh or eighth time we’ve been a goal down in the early stages of a match this season.
“We gave ourselves a mountain to climb by going a goal down and by not doing any of the basics well enough in the early stages.
“I can understand the frustration at the end of the day because we haven’t won a game again, despite having several opportunities to do so.
“Defensively we have to be better, and I’m not just talking about the defenders or the goalkeeper, I’m talking about everyone individually and all of us as a team.
“Our defending for the second goal was poor. We’ve let the guy beat us and shoot from the edge of the area under no pressure at all. We must improve on that.
“We had a really good defensive record last year, but we also understood that we needed to be better going forward.
“Unfortunately we haven’t got the balance right. We can’t accept that we’re going to have to score two or three times in a game to win a match. That can’t happen.
“It could have been so different if our penalty goes in but that’s football, and at the moment, it’s tough.
“What we can’t argue about though is the fact we’ve won one game in 11. We can’t fluff anything up. We were probably unlucky again, but it’s all about winning a football match and we haven’t done that.”
It is funny when it is not us 🙂

Comment #3Nice to see Miggy have his day in the sun. I don’t think he’ll ever threaten top teams defenses but you can’t fault his commitment and work rate. He’s great back up for injuries, cup matches and I’m sure he’s a good presence in the locker room and on the training ground

Comment #4Opinion from being at the game is that Murphy was afforded lots of space but didn’t do much with the ball. Often just passed it to someone else or fluffed the cross. Lots of effort but limited quality.

Comment #6Miggy is undoubtedly great, Everybody loves him. I love him. He’s ganna be in our squad when we storm the top 4. But, will he be first pick in any top 4 team?

Comment #7Pug and I had fun anyway. Haven’t seen the highlights of the game but if there’s a shot from behind Almiron for his goal, you might just see a tall bloke going “ooooooh”. Sitting in the Fulham end so was a bit understated!

Comment #9Brilliant stuff there Magic.
Loving the line “the ball was a big problem to us”
Was it too round? Did it keep moving in the wrong direction? Did the players not recoginse one from your training sessions?
Bruce really has lost the plot.

Comment #10I had Miggy down as out TS in the predictions but changed it to Izak.
Still think it will be Izak but I’d love it if I have made a mistake. 🙂

Comment #13Can you imagine replacing Miggy, Willock and Murphy with Bowen, Maddison and Harrison so that we had that strength in depth. We’ve got a lot to look forward to.

Comment #16magicmac54,
This is how the squad will evolve, can you imagine having Miggy as a squad player chomping at the bit to get himself in the starting eleven, players as good as Willock finding themselves not being able to get in the team. We’re bang on course for an excellent season, even those expecting too much can’t complain looking at that table today.

Good evening Fella, yes i fully appreciate the point your making, but what i will add is our squad is not as bad as some fans think, take today for example with Isak ASM, and Joelinton all absent and yet the lads put on a performance like that today, also as Eddie seems to be very loyal to players who perform on the pitch, so i think he will pick the same starting midfield for next weeks match mate, just my opinion HWTL

Comment #20We’ve come to get used to it but I just don’t get the negativity on match days before a ball has even been kicked. We’re not talking catchy and his codswalloping crazy corsairs here either, rational posters like Charlie and sparky. “Ffs why is Targett on the bench!!”, if BDB had of been on the bench it would have been, “Mitro is playing ffs and BDB is benched” “I like Howe but you seriously have to question his judgement here” We didn’t get a result last week so he changed it up, it really is a case of if he’d played the same team that would have been questioned as well. Why do certain people need to pour scorn on his every move, it really isn’t pleasant to read.

I think big Joe was on the bench today mate, it`s a long season so Eddie probably thought it was time to give him a break and give someone else a chance, and let big Joe recharge the batteries mate.

Comment #26Great game today. Happy for Miggy to score 2. Murphy and Wllock played very well best all season. Fulham’s manager needs to give his head a wobble. Could have been 2 sent off. A few other nasty tackles. We still had to score and putting in 4 was no fluke. Their defence sucks. We would’ve won today regardless. Looking forward to our next game. HWTL!
