"It is a massive disappointment. It was hard work out there for us. It was the type of game we probably thought it would be - two physical teams going at each other and at 2-2 I thought we were in the ascendancy and we would go on and win the game, but the third goal is a bad one from our view point."
"It is damaging. It is damaging for our psychology but there is only one way to solve that and it is to dig out a win from somewhere and then you can totally flip the feeling in one match and I think that is what we have to try and do. Newcastle have squandered a league-most 13 points from winning positions this season, with their inability to hold onto leads becoming a consistent downfall for the Toon."
Newcastle lost 3-2 at St James' Park to Brentford after Dango Ouattara struck with less than five minutes remaining. Sven Botman and Igor Thiago each put Newcastle into leading positions during the match, but the side failed to protect their advantage. The club has now squandered 13 Premier League points from winning positions, making an inability to hold leads a recurring issue. Missed opportunities to extend the lead and a poor third goal conceded compounded the result. Players are described as battling and trying, but the team is not playing at its best and needs a win to reverse the psychological damage.
