Strugglers Give Us Forgettable Draw

We couldn't beat fellow strugglers Watford on our own patch, so it was no surprise that Brighton took us the distance, and actually deserved the three points.

One point each did neither side any favours, but we were lucky to get what we got!

The Seagulls dominated and went closest through substitute Aaron Connolly's chip which was cleared off the line by a Fabian Schar overhead kick.

It was another disappointing day for Newcastle, who were poor in front of a far-from-full St James' Park.

43,000? Really? Or was that figure 'doctored' like most of the others announced this season?

I suppose the one 'plus' side was that Andy Carroll came on for his first Magpies game since December 2010. But, apart from lift the supporters, he didn't produce anything of note.

The injury-plagued number seven, who has played for Liverpool and West Ham since then, failed to have any chances in his 10 minutes on the pitch.
