I do have these concerns when Newcastle United complete the expansion of St James' Park nufc
Match Reports24 seconds agoBefore getting into this report, I need to start by offering massive, unfiltered respect to the 463 Bournemouth fans who made the 700 mile round trip for this game.
This line-up was overshadowed though, by the full strength Newcastle XI Howe elected to put out, including all five World Cup returners, with ASM also recovered enough from Saturday’s knock to make the bench. United managed to be rampant without really testing the keeper. Trippier hit a free kick narrowly over and Schar did likewise with an absolute howitzer, before narrowly failing to connect with Botman’s flick on. There was a breakthrough around the half hour mark, as Wilson took Longstaff’s pass on the edge of the box, turned and somehow managed to barge his way through the defence to slot in.
Trippier’s cross from deep on the right was exquisite, a nightmare for Smith to deal with given Wilson’s presence behind him. His desperate header evaded Travers and settled in the net, a scruffy mess of a goal but a beauty in that it would send us to the quarter final. Not pretty but job done, we go into the hat. For me our prospects in this cup rely heavily on what happens in Thursday night’s draw. With zero upsets from the first round of games it would be nice if Brighton or Man Utd could be shocked by lower league opponents, but even if not, the final eight could have been a hell of a lot worse. If it is all Premier League a home tie would go a long way to boosting hope, although it might be asking a bit to get a third consecutive tie at SJP. Fate awaits.
