Chris Hughton: "It does emphasise the fact that the squad we have here is a good squad, but if we are to have any injuries, it becomes a squad that's very stretched.
"I suppose it could go down as a typical cup tie, but I was pleased we came out winners in the end - and I thought over the 90 minutes, we were worthy winners."
Lee Clark: "It's disappointing to lose a football match, but I have just said to the players, they have done us proud tonight.
"We took Newcastle to the wire, we were a threat all evening and contributed to what was a very, very good cup tie played with high intensity at high pace, and quality play from both sides at times."
