So we played our first pre-season today.

Was kept quiet and Journalist only told this morning.

We ran 4-0 winners out against Carlise in in a behind closed doors match up at the training ground. Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, Jacob Murphy and Ben Parkinson with the goals.

Newcastle United first half: Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Murphy, Shahar, Longstaff, Miley, Willock, Sanusi, Neave, Osula

Newcastle United second half: Ruddy, Ashby, Botman, Schar, Targett, Hernes, Joelinton, White, Barnes, Murphy, Parkinson

Elanga was watching in the stands.

Great to see Botman starting and getting minutes - massive that.

No Dubs at all. . . got to be being sold.
