Newcastle Coach Confesses Disappointing Display
Newcastle were dreadful last week versus the Hammers, according to their manager recently stated in his pre-match interview. “We must deliver a performance better. That day with West Ham proved painful for the team. Hopefully, we’ve learnt plenty. At this point we need to start picking up points.”
On the winger: “He was not close ultimately. Medical imaging revealed a very slight problem in his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey to step up.”
Forest Still Be Without Important Forward
Still no the experienced striker from the Forest lineup, as Matz Sels, the defender, the midfielder and the attacker are back.
