The Magpies Coach Admits Poor Performance
Newcastle were dreadful in their previous match against West Ham, as Eddie Howe just stated in his before the game comments. “We have to deliver something better. That day against West Ham was difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learned plenty. At this point we need to start picking up results.”
Regarding Anthony Gordon: “He wasn’t close ultimately. Medical imaging showed a minor issue in his hip and it’s a good opportunity for Harvey to step up.”
Forest Still Be Without Important Forward
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, as the goalkeeper, Murillo, the midfielder plus Dan Ndoye are back.
