"I don't think it was a 5-1 but that's what it will say in the papers," he said after the 5-1 defeat at Newcastle.

"I thought for 75 minutes we gave them a game. In the last 15 minutes, we had too many people who didn't do their jobs.

"Obviously Newcastle will look at their goals and take the positives out of the game, but there were some goals they scored that any decent defender would have stopped.

"We weren't at the races. The fourth goal, Kieron Dyer going through Craig Short in a 50-50 block tackle, I've never seen that happen before."
