We Said

 

Robbie Stockdale said:
 

"Tottenham are a really good team and I thought, for the first half an hour, we were really good. We pressed them ever so well, we could have been two or three in the lead, missed some really good chances and then the last 15 minutes [of the first half] they got to grips with the game, put us on the back foot, equalised.

"The second half started fairly even but then they got control of the game with the way they play. I was really disappointed with the goals we conceded in the second half.

"We had a spell of ten minutes where we were on top again, a couple of balls flashed across goal, probably didn’t work their goalkeeper enough and it fizzled out because they controlled the last little bit of the game.

"We looked a bit leggy and a bit tired but the programme we’ve had, realistically, it’s only our second competitive game and some of the boys have only played three games in pre-season because of what we do to support the first team. I think we’ll get stronger.”

On the outbound loan situation:

"
I’d expect so - and then what we will do is give opportunities comes down to the younger players pushing them as well. I would imagine come next week, the team could look, in several positions, look differently."

 

Stats


Leo Shahar's absence indicates that he'll be involved in Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie, while the withdrawal of Miodrag Pivas and Sean Neave at half time looks to be for the same reason.

There were PL2 debuts for goalkeeper George Mair, defensive pair Luke Craggs and Jake Durrant, plus forward Afner Ca. The outfield players all appeared from the bench.

It's now two games played and two defeats for Newcastle's  reserve side, who were well beaten in their PL2 opener at Whitley Park on Monday evening.

The Magpies opened brightly; Sean Neave's shot blocked at the expense of a corner kick within the opening minute.

Striker Vakhtang Salia scored twice in last week's loss at Tamworth and the Georgian netted again here after Trevan Sanusi's eighth minute pass gave him sight of goal.

Winger Sanusi soon succumbed to injury however and the purple-clad visitors began to enjoy more possession before drawing level nine minutes before the break when a Reiss Elliott-Parris shot evaded  'keeper George Mair on his PL2 debut.

4-1 victors here last season, Spurs continued where they left off after the break and went ahead through Alfie Dorrington's deflected effort on 67 minutes, after a corner kick from the left flank wasn't dealt with.

Harry Byrne's unchecked run over halfway into the home area four minutes later then allowed Tyrese Hall to loop a shot beyond Mair and wrap up victory for the Cockerels.
