TBG Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I just hope the win and lifting a trophy doesn't get to the players heads. There's a reason no club has won the sela Cup three times in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he walked off okay and didn't look distraught, so I'm guessing it was a slight tweak or a bit of tightness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Did anyone forget to tell their players before the game that it was only a friendly cup final and not a real one? wtf was all that about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Haven’t been to a home friendly that I can remember since the Carrol Juve one years ago, but have to say I enjoyed the whole day, even if the game was a bit shit. Decided to avoid the city centre for obvious reasons and went to Jesmond for food, nice walk down to the ground, club shop to get new top, then Stack before the game. Took someone to their first football game and they loved it too. Looking forward to Southampton. Only real comments regarding the game, I thought Bruno looked extra motivated, if that’s possible, and Kelly was solid. Suspect the kid of the left in the second half will be around the team given he got so long after playing a part last night too. Close control is unreal.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I thought Kelly was really good, has a case for a start at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Thought Travis Hearnes looked good too when he came on, don’t about his background but seemed comfortable in that middle CM role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Nah he didn’t do a lot, just a few pressures and tackles I think. But hadn’t seen him play before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 We've got two Swedes and a Dane in the first team picture, so would be nice if Hernes took a step towards the first team so we can have Norway represented too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stood out for Bournemouth whenever I saw him feature for them. Was surprised at the reaction to the signing, as most seemed to think he was just basic squad filler.

I know what you mean. Looked more physically and athletically ready than Harrison, who was a bit overwhelmed in the first half. Actually checked on Hearnes background during the game. We signed him from Shrewsbury Town last year after he had just broken into their first team at 17. Round about the same time we signed Sanusi. So one of the many promising youngsters we've brought in over the past year or so. https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/shrewsbury-town-fc/2023/09/01/travis-hernes-completes-move-from-shrewsbury-to-newcastle/ Edited August 11 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Honestly, if it wasn’t for his injuries over the past few years I reckon Kelly would be England’s starting left-back (or in the squad at the very least). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the ability, and there's a gap in the England team at that spot, and so I'm sure he'll be pushing for it, and that would have been in his thinking when deciding to join up with Howe again.

Struggled to make an impact, looks a little lost out there. I thought his position was higher up the pitch so maybe was in his natural position yesterday. Lots of work to do though, but still a pup, loads of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Harrison looked a little over-excited. Gave the ball away a couple of times early on by trying to make things happen and then was apologising for it way too much. Bit of a missed opportunity for him really but he’s got plenty of time.
