West Bromwich Albion 1 Newcastle United 1 match report: Newcastle left in fear... - The Independent

Spring was in the air here yesterday but also for Alan Pardew, a constant chill remains. The six days since his Newcastle sideas house derby embarrassment by Sunderland should have felt like six days and yesterday they weren't quite able to generate the restorative victory they craved. Alternatively, despite making a good place, the Tynesiders really finished your day losing two areas to 16th a' with Sunderland one of many clubs rising above them. Relegation is just a faint chance a' they've six points a lot more than Wigan, who've a game in hand a' but Newcastle should wait just a little longer to verify emergency. aYou need to be sure you secure the items and donat depend on other people perhaps not finding them,a said Pardew, who obviously cannot watch for this season to get rid of. Good players were got by aweave and when we have them all fit, I would expect us to challenge for the utmost effective 10 this year. But place surely got to stay static in the division.a Yesterday was exactly about providing a reply. Malcolm Macdonald, the former United striker, had summed up the feeling after last Sundayas derby debacle by labelling Newcastleas period as a adisastera; a harsh judgment but this is a membership that, true to its colours, doesn't do shades of grey. Something similar could be said of this competition with Newcastle prominent in the first half, Albion on top in the second, and the waste for Pardew was his people did not capitalise on their original efficiency. aThe first half we should have put that game to bed. We had several good odds at 1-0 and were coping very well with West Brom,a he explained. Newcastle have won one time on the Premier League moves this phrase but took the lead after nine minutes through Yoan Gouffran. Yohan Cabaye enjoyed a reverse pass into Papiss Cisse, operating into space on the left of the box, and the striker turned back towards goal and lofted the ball toward the six-yard box where Gouffran got before Jonas Olsson and flicked the ball over Ben Foster. The initial half ended on a note of controversy when James Perch tackled Billy Jones just within the Newcastle package. Referee Mike Jones blew for a violation but, after a long discussion with his assistant, given a free-kick on the side of the area, not just a penalty. aThe concern was obviously within the box,a said Clarke. Clarke sent on Shane Long as opposed to Yacob at half-time and minutes later the Irishman very nearly scored on the follow-up after Rob Elliot spilled Marc-Antoine Fortuneas shot. Lukaku then headed contrary to the crossbar from Chris Bruntas corner and ultimately the equaliser came. It originated from right-back Jones, the first Englishman to score for Albion this year. Some neat work was followed by it by Fortune and James Morrison, who worked the ball into Lukaku along with his back once again to target in the package. With the Belgian fighting to carry off Steven Taylor, Jones walked in and, despite a wayward first feel, slid the ball home from seven yards. Elliot then tipped over Morrisonas header to make sure Newcastle at the least earned a draw. aMy over all experience is place found exactly what we needed seriously to today without really having the three pointsa was Pardewas award, but a victory could have been so much better.
