Considering we were getting hammered after getting promoted into the Premier leagues this year, I thought we would finish bottom as all the other U21 sides have been well established for years.
However when you consider our better players are either out on loan or were not played due to first...
It looked low last night, a few hundred, I reckon too many people watching the free TV game. Because we played well it was a good atmosphere though and both us attacking and Walton making some superb saves, was end to end at times. Great advert for U21 footy and I'm glad the rules make them put...
Also I know we had full kit W**nker at Reading away, but Peter Beardsley (U21 Newcastle coach) who is by no means a W**nker - was full kit superstar on the touchline last night, he looked like a kid who probably slept in his kit he loves football so much.
ALBION: Walton; Barry, White, Pappoe, Hunt; Davis (Tighe 69), Collar, Harris (Muitt 59); Deen, Tilley (Wiltshire 87), Starkey
Rust's first game in charge and the best U21 game I have seen for a long while. We got at newcastle early and Pappoe keeps improving and was a threat from set pieces...
