Virginia keeps this up, Sa may not be starting on Sunday, so far quite impressed with Virginia, Neave looks handy too.

Well hope Raul is OK, Virginia is showing his worth, Konan looks like he's got potential, I'm liking Neave, get mane on second half and move it abit quicker with some accuracy and we might nick it.
We've given a good showing, as a championship team, so far, and watching it on tablet our supporters are the best. COYW.

Loads of positives tonight.
Virginia, Konan, Boubacar Traore, Neave, Bellegarde. Djiga. Not many of those are starters but they certainly all put themselves in the frame. As well as positives there were some question marks. Thought Toti was too easily turned for the goal.
Not seen anything from Jordan James yet and tonight's performance raised more questions than answers from him. Trippier is class and will be key player, if we are to mount a challenge.
I think some of those who impressed tonight could well have a massive impact off the bench on Sunday.

Good solid performance considering how many changes we made. Virginia looked solid and could actually keep hold of the ball more than Sa. Commanding in the box and quicker reactions. I know he will be dropped for the weekend but judging from that performance he won't be waiting long to take the spot.
Neave surprised me with how quick and strong he is. Newcastle have got a very good player for the future. I would 100% give him a good 30 mins or more at the weekend.
It was great to see Bellegarde back on the pitch. Very good at carrying the ball and makes things happen.
Overall all the players that don't get much minutes did really well and should take many positives from that game. Only negative was Toti poor defending as usual.
