Prawn Connery reports from St Roots Hall
6500 fans attended tonight friendly against the Pies. New goalkeeper Mark THE OX Oxley was tested early and pulled of some promising saves. Cokes had a bash from a freekick. Few more chances for both sides but it was the defences that won the first half and we go in 0-0 against a strong ex-prem side.
Rafa must of done the lambada at half time as the Spaniards Magpies took the lead 3mins after the 2nd half whistle. Long shot from the Geordies beats the OX.
There were 18 subs in the second half and that disrupted what had been a good first half performance. Newcastle nicked a second goal. Phil Brown must have been glad he was hiding in the TV gantry did no-one tell him we weren’t on SKY. Or was he hiding from family???
Last few minutes some good pressure from Blues forced a few corners.When Moons belted
a volley on target from 6 yards it brought a great save from their keepa!
Prawns men of the match. Good performances from Mcgelashan, Sokolik and Bridge tonight.
