Fulham 0 Newcastle 1 – Saturday 6 April 3pm
The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really wanted to see today.
A poor first half but United digging in, the defence superb.
Then an excellent Newcastle United performance in terms of both quality and character after the break, seeing them deservedly win 1-0 in the end.
Considering how the injuries have piled up yet again AND Willock added to them today, the desire to see this game out was top notch.
The photo below is visible proof, as usual, of just what unity there is within the club.
I thought Dan Burn and Fabian Schar were outstanding in the middle and Hall and Krafth standing up to Fulham’s good quality wide men really well.
The fact Dubravka didn’t really have a difficult save to make all match, points to how good the defending was. Only a couple of times Fulham having chances where they should have done much better.
All for one and one for all, from each and every player AND the coaching staff and backroom boys.
Absolutely loving this.
This manager and his players deserve our support, whether winning OR losing.
They did us proud today.
Another photo = The twentieth one of this season.
The Newcastle United Head Coach introduced this tradition of a post-match everybody included photo following each victory, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.
Great to see.
It is also a massive bonus just how much it winds up fans of certain other clubs and journalists.
‘Look at them, think they have won the Premier League / Champions League… etc etc’
I absolutely love it, keep these wins (and photos!!!) coming in these remaining seven games.
