Smogs Promise To Please Fans After Humiliation!
"Newcastle will play a lot higher than Bolton. They dropped right off us.
"Hopefully we can play our game and get our noses in front this time."We played quite well after the start we had on Saturday. But they put 10 men back behind the ball and threw everything in the way, as I found out twice.
"Ten minutes at the start killed us. We were slow out of the blocks and got heavily punished.
"Bolton probably had four attacks and scored three goals.
"It's a strange one. We were left scratching our heads a little as to what went wrong.
"I don't know why it was such a slow start. We need to look at ourselves and we will do that this week."
