That’s a bow on a season of disappointment. This team will look so different the next time they step on the pitch for a premier league match.

1H - NUFC free falling via tepid play and a tendency to sit back and let the football happen to them. Easily could have been 3-0 to the cherries early. Several honking performances including Lewis Hall 2H - a brief bright spot with Bruno G returning but Newcastle remain miles off it, even with another nifty goal for Osula. Eddie Howe is tired and the guy wants to go.

1H - slow and jagged play punctuated by a Ramsdale double save and a strange sliding goal for Osula via cross from Louis Miley. 2H - Newcastle sat back and invited pressure as they typically do with a lead on the road in 25/26. A few chances to brace, including a gifted breakaway for Osula who couldn’t convert. Enter Mateta, add some feckless subs from Howe, add a 90+ penalty, and you have another meltdown that could be a final straw for this era of NUFC.
