We Said |
Robbie Stockdale
said:
"There’s different ways we win as an academy.
"So, having five players on the bench for a Premier League game is a
big win for us. But you’re right, when it comes to 90 minutes on an
evening or a weekend, we set up to try and win the game.
"I think there are certain games when we didn’t get we deserved in
the season, there are certain games we did and that was one of those
tonight.
"Really positive performances, really good individual performances.
Obviously we changed the team around a little bit to get minutes
into players that haven’t played a lot so it’s a really pleasing
night for us as an U21s team.”

Newcastle U21s
won their opening Premier League Cup tie of the season on Friday, comfortably
beating their Luton Town counterparts to register a first win four
games at Whitley Park.
A first half own goal gave United the lead when Johnny Emerson hit a
low driven cross that deflected in off Dempsey Crace.
Defender
Henry Johnson headed in the second in the 53rd minute from a
free-kick before a brace from striker Afner Ca completed the home scoring.
Ca's first came in the 77th minute when he took a ball down the
right before cutting inside and firing an unstoppable shot in from a
tight angle.
His second came just five minutes later when Sam Alabi hit the post
and Ca tucked in the rebound.
The Hatters did manage a late consolation when Jack Lorentzen-Jones
exchanged passes from a free-kick and hammered home.
