Being honest here-I know the reasons for it, and I get it, and maybe if we'd had a go we would have been torn apart, etc, etc, but the first half hour it was embarrassing to be a Newcastle supporter.

But, once we took the appalling and half-arsed Aarons and the willing but shite Joselu off, I'm very proud of the way we had a go at them. We showed heart, spirit, determination and could have even sneaked a point. We could have been absolutely mullered and the fact that we weren't, coupled with the performance against West Ham, gives me a lot more confidence that we'll have a better second half of the season.

And fair play to Dummett-to come back into a game like that and do well like he did....he deserves a lot of credit.
