A youthful Magpies side were beaten for the first time in three
league games on Saturday, conceding three goals in just nine first
half minutes at Everton's Finch Farm base.
Having kept successive clean sheets, United goalkeeper Roman Dowell
had to retrieve the ball from his net after 12 minutes when Jake
Doughty shot home.
Jonathan Nsangou set up Charlie Stewart to fire a second for the
Toffees five minutes later, before the roles were reversed on 20
minutes when Nsangou collected Stewart's pass before adding a third
home goal.
Doughty's second arrived two minutes before the end of first half
normal time, opening up a 0-4 deficit at the interval.
Newcastle's Sammy Pinnington then netted seven minutes after the
restart before Ethan Ndiweni further reduced the arrears in the 63rd
minute.
Newcastle ended the game with a trio of debutants in the shape of
youngsters Charlie Robinson, Chukwudi Afumuzor and
Muawiya Ghanem.
Team: Dowell, Patterson, Morgan, Epia, Gilligan, Wooster (Afumuzor

Premier League:
Sunday date for Eagles
The
Premier League confirm that Newcastle's visit to Selhurst Park
has been rescheduled from the previously advertised Saturday April
11th to Sunday April 12th.
The game now has a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
That's due to Crystal Palace's progress to the last eight of the UEFA Conference League,
with the first leg at home to Fiorentina on Thursday
April 9th.
That's the first alteration to United games due to opposition cup commitments, in addition to
any rescheduling for live TV:
Sun 12.04.2026 Crystal Palace (a) 2pm confirmed
Sat 18.04.2026 Bournemouth (h) 3pm confirmed
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm
Would move to avoid a clash with the FA Cup SF on Sat 25.04.2026 or
Sun 26.04.2026, if Arsenal defeated Southampton in their QF on Sat
04.04.2026.
For a new date, Arsenal face Sporting Lisbon in Champions League QFs
on Tue 07.04.2026 and Wed 15.04.2026. Were they to progress to the
CL SFs, that would then rule out weeks commencing Mon 27.04.2026 and
Mon 04.05.2026.
The most
likely scenario is that our Emirates visit would be during the week
commencing Mon 20.04.2026 - the PL looking to play outstanding PL
games that week, as per last season, when Palace's postponed game
with Arsenal was played days before the Eagles were in FA Cup SF
action.
Sat 02.05.2026 tbc Brighton (h) 3pm
confirmed
Sat 09.05.2026 tbc Nottingham Forest (a) KO tbc
Would move
to avoid a clash with the Europa League SF if Forest won their QF
against Porto on Thu 09.04.2026 & Thu 16.04.2026.
They would then play a SF second leg on Thu 07.05.2026, meaning we'd
visit the City Ground on Sun 10.05.2026 tbc.
TV
schedule for this weekend due Wed 01.04.2026.

defeated Leeds United in their QF on Sun 05.04.2026 and progressed
through a SF on or around Sat 25.04.2026.
For a new date, any midweek is theoretically possible, apart from
week commencing 11.05.2026 as it preceded the F.
TV schedule for this weekend due Wed 08.04.2026 - only kick-off

Miller time for Lee
Former Magpie midfielder Lee Clark has taken charge at
League One Rotherham United until the end of the season, as they
attempt to avoid relegation.
The 53 year-old had a tough introduction on Saturday, with the
Millers beaten 0-3 at league
leaders Lincoln City.
Fellow SJP old boy Andy Carroll meanwhile has agreed a first
managerial role, interim boss of Dagenham & Redbridge.
The 37 year-old signed for the National League South club as a
player and has since become a shareholder. He's currently sidelined
due to injury.
Carroll enjoyed a winning debut on Saturday, as the Daggers beat
Torquay United 1-0 at home.

The defender played the entirety of Saturday's 1-3 defeat away to Raith Rovers
in the Scottish Championship.
Max Thompson (Ayr United):
Max was in goal as the Honest Men lost 0-1 at home to Greenock Morton
in the Scottish Championship on Saturday.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
The winger remained on the bench as Lorient were beaten 0-1 at
Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A 0-2 home loss to Valencia in La Liga on Saturday saw Vlach
continue in goal.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are offered to applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are
then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

Born Or Died:
1920 Eric Garbutt born, Scarborough.
(1939-51)
Goalkeeper signed from Billingham
Synthonia at a cost of £100 in January 1939 and who was yet to break into the
first team when the outbreak of war halted League football in September of that
year.
Serving in the RAF, Eric made a single appearance in wartime senior team games
(in a 6-0 home win over Sheffield United in August 1945).
A belated competitive debut came in a 4-1 away success against Millwall a year
later and Garbutt shared goalkeeping duties for United's promotion season of
1947/48, making seventeen appearances.
What proved to be Eric's final first team game saw him earn praise for
restricting Middlesbrough to a single goal as they won at St.James' Park on
Boxing Day 1949.
Having suffered leg and hand injuries during his career, Garbutt was unable to
regain fitness and announced his retirement in the summer of 1951.
He passed away in 1997.
1960
Death of Matt Kingsley, 84.
(1898-1904)
1990 José Luis
Sanmartín Mato
born, Stuttgart, Germany (2017-19)
Commonly known as Joselu,
this striker was signed on a three year deal
from Stoke City for a bargain £5m fee in August
2017 - the sixth signing as they
returned to the top flight and rather less
of a big name or price tag than was
anticipated by many fans.
German-born but raised in Spain, Joselu began his career with Celta Vigo
before moving on to Real Madrid and appearing for their B team (although he
did mark his sole senior appearance in 2011 with a goal).
Joining German side Hoffenheim in 2012 and Eintracht Frankfurt on a subsequent
loan, Hannover 96 became his third Bundesliga club in as many years during
2014.
After a season there though, a transfer to Stoke City was concluded and he
managed four Premier League goals that season.
After just one year at the Potters though, Joselu joined Spanish club
Deportivo La Coruna on a season-long loan and found the net six times in La
Liga fixtures.
Debuting as a substitute at Huddersfield Town days after becoming a Magpie, he
marked his first start by scoring in a 3-0 home win over West
Ham.
Further strikes came against Liverpool, Leicester City and
Swansea City as forward duties were shared with him, Dwight Gayle and
Ayoze Perez.
Aleksandar Mitrovic's fall from grace and the continued unavailability of loan
arrival Islam Slimani saw Joselu remain in the senior team picture, criticised
by some but obeying the orders given to him with some success.
Responding to social media criticism of his cut-price striker, Rafa Benitez
said:
"I think Joselu is doing a lot of things right. He is doing a great
job for the team and he is making the rest of our team feel more comfortable.
"If you want to sign a striker who’ll score 20 goals, you must
pay £40m. If you sign an average striker, it’s £15m, or £10m if they can
kick it forward.
"We didn’t do it. That’s the situation we’re in".
The arrival of Salomon Rondon on loan from West Bromwich Albion saw
Joselu providing cover from the bench for the majority of his second season in
Toon.
Few tears were shed in July 2019 when he followed Benitez and Perez out of
the door, joining Spaniards Deportivo Alaves for an undisclosed fee.
An improbable 11 goals kept his new club in La Liga that season and Joselu
then matched that total in the 2020/21 campaign - by then joined at Alaves
by former SJP colleague Florian Lejeune.
He'd netted 14 times in La Liga that season, although the club finished bottom
of the table having managed only 31 goals in their 38 games.
A free agent at that point,
Joselu stayed in La Liga when signing a three-year deal with Espanyol in June 2022
and maintained his prolific streak in front of goal.
That resulted in a first senior selection for Spain, some 13 years after his
last U21 appearance for them - and he made an explosive start when coming off
the bench against Norway in a Euro qualifier during March 2023 - two days
before turning 33.
Arriving in the 81st minute, he netted in both the 84th and 85th
minutes of a 3-0 win in Malaga.
Another startling development then saw Joselu return to former club Real
Madrid on a season-long loan in June 2023 with an option to make the move
permanent.
Whilst there he scored an incredible 18 goals in league and cup competitions
and claimed Champions League and La Liga, Super Cup winner's medals.
Joselu's next destination was Al-Gharafa in the Qatar League, signing a
lucrative two year deal in summer 2024 - days after watching Spain's Euro
Final victory over England from the substitute's bench.
PS: 2016 saw Joselu selected for the Galicia national side, who aren't
affiliated to either FIFA or UEFA and play exhibition matches. He played the second half of a 1-1 draw against Venezuela in A Coruna.
1992 Mark Gillespie
born, Newcastle.
(2020-present)
Following the departure of Rob Elliot
and the continued loan status of Freddie Woodman, Newcastle turned to a
former Academy player as their third choice goalkeeper in July 2021.
Released by the Magpies aged 16, Mark joined Carlisle United and made his senior
professional debut form them in May 2010.
Spending time on loan at Blyth Spartans the following season,
Gillespie returned to Brunton Park and featured regularly before
moving on to Walsall in 2017.
After a year at the Saddlers he made a free transfer switch to SPL
side Motherwell and spent two years at Fir Park until his contract expired
in 2020.
Signing a three year deal at SJP, Mark was on the bench for the
season-opening Premier League victory at West Ham.
A senior Magpies debut then came in a 1-0 League Cup home win over Blackburn
Rovers in September 2020.
Retained for the 7-0 victory at Morecambe in that competition, Mark was
selected for the 1-1 draw at Newport County, saving a spot kick as his
side won on penalties.
However, Karl Darlow was preferred for the Quarter Final loss at
Brentford - and Mark has failed to appear in a senior fixture since.
Restricted to bench duty, he then lost his place in the PL squad in August 2022
before regaining it the following January.
A variety of factors saw Nick Pope, Martin Dubravka and
Darlow all ineligible to appear in the Carabao Cup Final a month after, leading
to speculation of an unlikely recall for Mark.
However, he had to be content with a place on the bench at Wembley as Loris Karius got the
nod to face Manchester United.
May 2024 saw two rare public outings for Gillespie - although he may not care
to recall the latter - as United played two post-season kickabouts in
Australia.
Getting on for the final moments against Spurs, a 1-1 draw saw the game
settled on penalties, United winning 5-4 with the goalkeeper saving one spot
kick.
48 hours later Mark was in a scratch XI against the A League All-Stars,
conceding four goals in 63 minutes before giving way to Aidan Harris - who
also let in four.

1992
Death of Colin Gibson, 68.
(1948-49)
1995 Aidan Grant
born, South Shields.
(2011-13)
Goalkeeper who linked up with
Newcastle as a schoolboy but didn't break through into the U18 side, despite
acting as cover on the club's reserve tour of Holland in July 2011.
Joining Northern League side
Seaham Red Star in the 2012/13 season, Grant impressed Aston Villa during a
trial spell and signed a professional contract
with the Villans before going on loan to Arlesey Town
Moving to Peterborough
United on a non-contract basis in
September 2014, he got as far as the bench without
debuting, before switching to Lincoln City in 2015.
Keeping a clean sheet on his senior debut in the Conference, Grant played just once more for the
Imps before joining Corby Town.
By 2017 he was back the North East with Dunston UTS, later appearing for
Hebburn Town and coaching at the Durham-based Evolution
goalkeeping academy.

This was reportedly the first game that Town hadn't had a
Welshman in their forward line since becoming a
league club.
Newcastle's
Willie Penman saw the club doctor
at half-time with suspected concussion but played on to net a second half treble.
That earned him a television chair -
the prize offered by a local businessman to any
Magpie scoring a hat-trick!
Manager Joe Harvey was absent, preferring to watch Newcastle's next
opponents Derby County beat Boro 2-1 at Ayresome
Park.

After
two wins in a week, United's hopes of avoiding relegation
were dealt a blow on Easter Monday by an Owls side who
wore a distinctive green and white hooped away kit.
19 year-old
Dean Barrick scored with his first touch in senior
football for the visitors while future Magpies coach and
caretaker boss Nigel Pearson was also on the scoresheet.
The first half was to ended in bizarre fashion with United 'keeper Gary Kelly
penalised for handball on the edge of the penalty area as
he kicked the ball upfield.
Wednesday shaped to take the free-kick but just as the
wall had been moved back the full ten yards the referee
blew his whistle with a flourish, picked up the ball and signalled the end
of the half, amid great crowd hilarity.
PS: John Carr from Lemington also got a half-time surprise
when it was announced that the car alarm on his Nissan
(B211 CPY) was chiming away merrily!

dismissed during Paraguay's 2-4 friendly loss to Mexico in
Santa Clara, USA.
