Newcastle United start to the season – The truth of what has gone onIt should have been eight matches into the new 2022/23 campaign by this point, only for the West Ham away game to be put back due to the death of the Queen and all football banned that weekend.
A shocker last season in this final Steve Bruce away match, hardly got out of our half and only two shots on target and a consolation goal courtesy of a Wolves mix up at the back. On Saturday it was a tale of dominating the match / possession but missing key players to take advantage. However, still absolutely deserved to win by at least a couple of goals, hitting both posts, whilst another keeper having a MOTM performance and dogged last ditch defending, as well as poor finishing, the only things denying the victory .
In my opinion, Newcastle United have played significantly better in at least six of the seven fixtures this season compared to 2021/22, whilst even at Brighton I think NUFC played marginally better this time, BUT the Seagulls were far better in this game than last season.
