We said |
Lee Clark commented:
"I am quite pleased because it was against an experienced Bolton side. We fielded a young team ourselves and did OK.
"Lee Kerr did OK and will be disappointed not to get on the scoresheet, while Andy Carroll also had a good chance in the second half.
"Matty Pattison did well in the middle but, overall, I was pleased with the performance."
"It is frustrating when you train the lads on a good pitch each day.
"I try to encourage the lads to play football and it is difficult sometimes on that surface."

It's
just one defeat in twenty home league games for our Reserves, but that
came as little comfort to anyone who ventured out to a windy and wet
Kingston Park on Monday night.
Neither side was able to conjure up anything to excite the sparse crowd,
although United 'keeper Fraser Forster was busier than his opposite
number, veteran Ian Walker.
Debutant trialist Lee Kerr was paired in attack with Albert Luque and the
Whitley Bay forward almost got off to a dream start after three minutes,
but his header from Alan O'Brien's cross flashed narrowly wide.
Not for the first time at this venue, O'Brien was in frustrating form,
outpacing the Bolton defence on 29 minutes but opting to shoot rather than
cross and seeing his effort blocked.
And within a minute the Irish winger was involved again, popping up on the
left flank and jinking into the box before pulling the ball back for Kerr
to blast wide.
At the other end Fraser Forster was called upon on 40 minutes, fisting
away David Thompson's cross with Ricardo Vaz Te lurking at the far post.
And after Bolton had replaced striker Jaroslaw Fojut with former Newcastle
trainee Chris Basham before the break, the Magpies 'keeper was forced into
a close-range double stop as we failed to clear our lines.
Forster came to our rescue again four minutes after the restart, when his
instinctive block from a deflected Augustyn shot kept the scoresheet
blank.
Andy Carroll replaced the Spaniard for the second half and although the
young striker who has recently made his Premiership bow got on to a Shanks
header to head wide on the hour, he and Kerr suffered from a lack of
service.
Both Pattison and O'Brien faded badly after the break and the fitful
contribution of Troisi was followed by an equally uneventful display from
his replacement, LuaLua.
Kerr completed the full game and had one more effort on goal in the
closing stages, trying an adventurous overhead shot from the edge of the
box that Walker dealt with comfortably.
