The Magpies Manager Admits Disappointing Performance

The match with the London club proved difficult for us. We trust, we have learnt plenty. At this point we have to begin picking up points.”
Regarding the winger: “He wasn’t fit enough in the end. The scan revealed a very slight problem with his hip which is a good opportunity for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
