Newcastle United lost their fourth game on-the trot on Wednesday night. It was a much improved showing from Newcastle, who were mi sing key players such as Hatem Ben Matt Light Jersey Arfa and Yohan Cabaye. Newcastle took the lead after a first half lacking in any real quality. Demba Ba won the ball and drove in on goal and hit a dipping shot from 25 yards the keeper Asmir Begovic could only palm into the path of Papi s Ci se who finished via the post. Futher chances followed Jarrett Stidham Jersey , with Papi s Ci se and Demba Ba both testing Begovic.However in the 81st minute, Jon Walters flicked a free header past Tim Krul and got Stokes tails up. A long pa s up to Kenwyne Jones saw him tower above mike Williamson to head perfectly into the path of Cameron Jerome, who finished emphatically and sealed all three points for Stoke.Newcastles performance was better than the previous three, they worked tremendously hard, but they lacked a creative spark from midfield.After the game Alan Pardew had this to say,After 75 minutes we were bo sing the game, 1-0 up looking like we were going to get a second, I thought we had a definite penalty that wasn Bruce Armstrong Jersey t given, and two sucker punches have cost us.I feel so sorry for the players because its been a tough little spell for us with the blows weve had on the injury front and weve put in a really great performance here and ended up with nothing, its hard to look your players in the eye and say youve carried the gameplan through and got nothing.Obviously goals do change the situation but I felt the least we deserved was a draw so the second goal was a real bad one.Its the run of results Richard Seymour Jersey thats the problem and weve got to stop that, we couldnt have done anymore to stop it tonight and unfortunately weve just come up short, the players were magnificent Shaun Wade Jersey tonight, I couldnt say that Sunday but I can tonight.I wouldnt agree that we bo sed this game, I thought a draw would have been the fair result, but fair play to Stoke, who displayed hard work and a never say die attitude for which they are very well known.Hopefully on Monday night St Jamess park will be rocking and we can claim all three points and get back on the right track.
