Carabao Cup:
Willock the Lion tamer
Millwall
0 Newcastle 1
United's
maiden visit to the "new" Den
ended with a place in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday -
although the manner of their victory won't linger long in the
memory.
A close range shot from Joe Willock nine minutes before the end of
normal time ultimately divided the sides; the Magpies clad in their
lilac change kit otherwise struggling to test Gateshead old boy Filip Marschall in the home goal.
An injury-ravaged Lions side had just enjoyed their best moment of
the tie at the other end: substitute Tairyk Arconte seeing his shot
rebound back off a post and hit Lukas Hornicek before running
harmlessly away.
Within seconds the Championship side were made to pay for their
miss, United attacking down the left flank and a neat reverse pass
from substitute Matias Fernandez-Pardo opening up space towards the
byline for Lewis Hall.
The birthday boy sent over a low centre that was turned home by
Willock, taking a slight deflection off Jake Cooper en route to the
back of the net behind which the travelling support was housed.
The hosts took full advantage of the absence of VAR from this stage
of the competition, blatant holding opponents as corners were taken
- Fabian Schar dragged to the ground on several occasions without
censure for his assailant.
That hardly excuses the most ordinary of displays from a Toon
side whose set piece executions were laughably bad and who once
again avoided getting shots on target.
Given how pre-season unfolded though, the opportunity to play
another match like the West Bromwich Albion tie was valuable and the
lack of a Premier League fixture until next Monday minimised the
risk of utilising senior players.
Extending the unbeaten run this season to five games and progressing
in the Carabao Cup was achieved with a strong starting line-up
captained by Yoane Wissa.
Injury to Ewen Jaouen saw Hornicek continue along with seven others
from the side that drew with Bournemouth - Malick Thiaw, Lewis Miley
and Anthony Elanga benched as starts went to Schar, Jacob
Ramsey and Jacob Murphy.
The Magpies must wait
until Wednesday week (Sep 16th) to learn their last Fourth Round
opponents, when the draw is staged after the Manchester United
versus Brighton tie.
Fourth Round ties are scheduled to be played in w/c Monday October
26th* - between Newcastle's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace on
Sunday October 25th and the PL visit of Everton to SJP on Monday
November 2nd.
* There are no potential European clashes for this round, meaning
all ties should be played during this one week.
Team: Hornicek, Dedic (Livramento 46), Hall, Schar, Botman,
Gonzalez, Ramsey (L.Miley 83), Willock (Steur 90+1), Murphy (Elanga
66), Barnes, Wissa (Fernandez-Pardo 66).
Subs n/u: Bamba, Pope, Thiaw, Toure.
Goal: Willock 81
Booked: Ramsey
MFC: Marschall, Osei-Tutu (Parkes 88), Baggott, Taylor,
Cooper, Kelly (Massey 87), Metcalfe, Esse (Issoufou 62), Neghli,
Dykes (Monty 87), Lovelace (Arconte 62).
Subs n/u: Beaumont, Evans, Sturge, Vieira.
Booked: Metcalfe, Massey
Referee: Craig Pawson - the South Yorkshire official took three
Newcastle games in the Premier League last season.
Beginning
with a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa, Pawson returned for a 1-2
loss at Brighton and the 4-1 win at Everton.
VAR: n/a
Crowd: 14,698 including 2,072 away fans.
Excepting the COVID-era behind closed doors ties, this was the
smallest attendance at a League Cup tie featuring the Magpies since
10,961 were at Tranmere Rovers in 2022.
Matthias Jaissle said:
"Yeah, we're delighted, we're
happy, we did our job, that's the most important thing in a cup
match. I think it's never easy playing here against Millwall, so we
were aware of it, we faced it and we did it.
"(It was) hard
like I expected, but I'm proud of how the lads were dealing with the
challenge, how the lads also improved, especially compared to the
first half against Bournemouth, when it comes to the physical level,
to the fundamentals of the game.
"Therefore, we're really pleased and I think we deserve to be in the
next round.
"We were dominating the game in
general, but there were also elements missing when we talk about the
final pass, when we talk about the final shot, but there was also an
opponent on the pitch who did everything to keep the clean sheet.
"Sometimes it takes a little bit
longer to open up a game. We did it in the end.
"I think now we have a
well-balanced squad. The lads were doing good in the pre-season,
they showed their quality and I think they still have potential to
even do better."
On the Dedic withdrawal:
"Amar fell a little bit on his hamstring, so we didn't want to take
any risk, but it was also planned that Tino (Livramento) gets
a bit more minutes than last time."
On Lewis Hall and Amar Dedic
providing goal assists:
"Really important, as you saw
also in the statistics, they don't lie. So we involve them heavily
in possession, usually to be also dominant in the final third and
we have that quality on both sides, so I'm really pleased to see
these performances."
On Joe Willock:
"Joe has done an excellent job since I joined. You saw there’s
potential there with him and we’re here to support him. He's really important, especially when he is scoring.
"Not only Willock, but the whole team and how they believe in each
element of the game. In a mentality way, we are really pleased to
see that."
On starting Lukas Hornicek:
"In general, it is not only
Lukas. I think you saw we didn't want to rotate too much today.
Against Leeds, a couple of days away, so that gave us the
opportunity to stick with most of the starting 11 from players
against Bournemouth. That was the reason behind it."
On settling into his new role:
"Well, I expected a lot, so I am
not so much surprised.
"I knew that every match would be unbelievably
tough and hard to manage, but the level the players showed already
is great.
"It is something special after
being here for such a short amount of time, seeing a group and
seeing such a unit on the pitch. That is something we can really
build on.
"Really happy with the
start so far. We’ve showed unity in and off the pitch, but we’re
realistic. We’re grateful for the start but already there’s a focus
on Leeds."

Stats:
Joe Willock scored his 21st competitive goal for the club and
third in the Carabao Cup. Like the other two, it came away from SJP
(at Manchester United in 2023 and at Nottingham Forest in 2024).
Newcastle made it to the Fourth Round of the League Cup for a
fifth successive season, matching their previous best sequence
that had begun in the 1994/95 campaign.
It was a case of third time lucky for United against
Millwall in a Cup tie, after a 0-2 League Cup home loss in 1978/79
and a 1-2 FA Cup defeat at the Old Den in 1956/57.
Magpies @ Lions - all time:
2026/27 won 1-0 Willock
1992/93 won 2-1 Clark, Cole
1991/92 lost 1-2 Neilson
1990/91 won 1-0 G.Peacock
1988/89 lost 0-4
1978/79 lost 1-2 Barton
1956/57 lost 1-2 Tait (FA)
1947/48 lost 1-2 Pearson
1946/47 won 4-1 Bentley 2, Milburn, Stubbins
1938/39 drew 1-1 Cairns
In terms of venues only rather than clubs, playing here reduces the
number of grounds in the 92 that Newcastle haven't visit for a
senior match to 15 by our reckoning:
AFC Wimbledon, Barnet, Bristol Rovers, Bromley, Chesterfield,
Colchester United, Crawley Town, Fleetwood Town, MK Dons,
Northampton Town, Salford, Shrewsbury Town, Stockport County,
Walsall and Wycombe Wanderers.
(That would be 14 had a flooded pitch not caused our visit to AFC
Wimbledon in 2024 to be switched to Gallowgate).
U21s:
Wood
outwit stiffs
Boreham Wood
2 Newcastle U21s 1
Newcastle U21s extended their winless start to the season to four
games on Tuesday night, beaten by current National
League Cup holders Boreham Wood at Meadow Park.
Deservedly ahead through a 10th minute finish by Matheos
Ferreira, United could have added to their lead before the Wood
upped the pressure and Farhaan Ali Wahid levelled right on half
time.
The hosts then collected maximum points thanks to a 72nd minute
header by substitute Zak Brunt.

Team:
Dowell, Johnson, Charlton, Watts, Pivas, Bailey, Ferreira (Wooster

Update:
Hall's birthday boost
Tuesday saw Magpies defender Lewis Hall celebrating his
22nd birthday, with the Times revealing that he's agreed a new five
year deal keeping him at Gallowgate until 2031.
Formal confirmation of that is expected on Wednesday; Hall following
colleagues Lewis Miley and Harvey Barnes by signing a new long-term
contract at the club.

Newcastle U18s
extended their best
league start in over 20 years on Saturday; victory at City's Seagrave
Training Ground giving them 12 points
from their first four games.
The visitors were ahead within two minutes of the start when recent
signing Kryan Thompson shot home from outside the box.
The Foxes levelled five minutes after the interval through James
Quinn, but parity was only fleeting before United regained the lead
through Alfie Hutchison.
The Scottish striker had netted in each of United's opening three
games and went on to double his seasonal tally to six here today,
grabbing a 23 minute hat-trick.
Chris Moore's side remain top of the North Group, ahead of last
season's regional champions Manchester City on goal difference
despite their 8-5 victory at Stoke City.
Team: Mair, Healy-Matthew (Patterson 86), Morgan (Goodbrand
81), Old, Moran, Ghanem, Thompson, Koussou, Robinson (Gilligan 73),
Seldon (Callaghan 86), Hutchison (Benjamin 81).
Subs n/u: L.Harper, Afumuzor.
Booked: Koussou, Ghanem
Hutchison's hat-trick was the first at U18 level by a Magpie since
Kacey Wooster at home to Leeds in April 2025.
Thompson turned 17 on Sunday and celebrated with confirmation of his
first professional contract at SJP.
Loan
lads:
The borrowers
Leo Shahar (Arouca):
The full back wasn't named in the squad for Monday's Primeira Liga
trip to Estoril, which ended goalless.
Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
The striker began on the bench as Juve drew 1-1 at home to AC Milan
in Serie A on Sunday, appearing as a 76th minute replacement but
playing no part in his side's late leveller.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A 1-1 draw at Espanyol in La Liga on Sunday came with Vlach in goal,
his side defending a one goal lead despite losing a man until the
eight minute of time added on.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
Cadiz lost by the odd goal in five at Almeria in the Segunda Division
on Sunday, with Cordero in the starting line-up and supplying the
corner for his side's first half equaliser.
Antonio was replaced at half time - reason unknown.
Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
Playing for the first time since official confirmation of his
transfer to Newcastle, the midfielder retained his place at Trabzonspor
in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
Booked just three minutes after the first whistle, Diabate was
replaced in the 75th minute with his side 0-4 behind. It ended 0-5
to the hosts.
Sean Neave (Wolves):
A first outing for the Championship side came in Sunday's 2-2
draw at Brmingham City, an 87th minute arrival from the bench when
the scoring was complete.
Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):
The Hatters drew 1-1 at home to Leyton Orient in League One on
Saturday but Harrison lasted just 21 minutes before going off
injured.
Rory Finneran (Notts County):
Another 90 minutes for the midfielder on Saturday, as the other
Magpies drew 1-1 at Huddersfield Town in League One.
Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
Town defeated Colchester United 3-1 at home in League Two on
Saturday, with Munda playing the opening 75 minutes at the cost of a
booking. His run into the box to draw a foul led to Swindon's opener
from the spot.
Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):
Kaiserslautern scored three goals without reply at home to Darmstadt
in Bundesliga 2 on Saturday. Alex started on the bench, appearing in
the 74th minute when his side led 2-0.
Update:
Ousmane the Mag
Following the publication of United's Premier League squad list
featuring Ousmane Diabate, the club have belatedly
confirmed the signing of the
18 year-old midfielder.
The Guinea-born player joins for an unspecified fee from Turkish
Super Lig side Genclerberligi, where he'll remain on loan until next
summer.
Diabate has made three senior starts so far this season, following a
senior international debut for Guinea during a friendly against
Northern Ireland back in June.
PS: another new name appearing on the club's PL listing is 19
year-old goalkeeper,
Alexander Walpole.
Previously with Huddersfield Town, he
was an unused substitute in United's opening U21 fixture
of the season.
Update:
Squad list confirmed
The squad list submitted to the Premier League by United sees just
19 places of the 25 man allocation utilised:
Barnes, Botman, Burn, Dedic, Elanga, Gillespie, Gonzalez, Hall,
Hornicek, Joelinton, Livramento, Murphy, Osula, Pope, Ramsey, Schar,
Thiaw, Willock, Wissa.
In amongst 60 names classified as U21 players meanwhile are Lewis
Miley and five summer senior signings:
Bamba, Fernandez-Pardo, Jaouen, Steur, Toure
Ousmane Diabate also makes that list.

Update:
One in, one out
It's reported that ex-Magpie Paul Dummett has returned to the
club in a development squad loan capacity, following Shola Ameobi's
move to a corporate role.
The 34 year-old exited from Gallowgate at the end of the 2023/24
season, playing on for Wigan Athletic before a brief spell at
Carlisle United ended with his retirement in 2025.
Meanwhile goalkeeping coach Adam Bartlett has left the
Magpies after the arrival of Matthias Jaissle and his staff.
Playing for Newcastle as a youngster, the 40 year-old returned to
the club as a coach in 2019, succeeding Simon Smith as head of the
goalkeeping department in 2022.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours to determine success, then 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |
|
9th September |
|
Born Or Died:
1931 Stan Keery born, Derby.
(1952-57)
Beginning his career as an amateur with Blackburn Rovers, wing
half Stan made an £8,250 switch to United from Shrewsbury Town during
November 1952.
Debuting in a 1-2 loss to Preston North End at Deepdale the following January,
Keery was an occasional starter over the next five seasons, invariably
deputising for George Hannah or Jimmy Scoular.
His only senior goal as a Magpie came in a 2-1 win at Burnley in September 1953
and a £2,500 move took him on to Mansfield Town in May 1957.
Just over a year later Stan joined Crewe Alexandra and enjoyed seven years with
the Railwaymen, helping them gain promotion to Division Three before hanging
up his boots.
Settling in Crewe after his retirement, Stan was a bookmaker for a time and
also worked for Rolls Royce in the town. His death was confirmed in March
2013.
1943 Frank Clark born,
Highfield, Gateshead. (1962-75)
By the time full back Frank joined
Newcastle as a 20 year old, he had already
collected an FA Amateur Cup winner's medal with
Crook.
His time at SJP saw him add a Second Division
Championship medal in 1965 and a Fairs Cup
winner's trophy four years later (there were no
medals in that competition).
Released on a free transfer in 1975, the man
nicknamed the Flying Pig joined Brian Clough's
Nottingham Forest winning a European Cup, a
First Division Championship and two League Cups
during four years at the City Ground.
Working as assistant coach to Ken Knighton at the
mackems, he then followed the other KK to Orient
and took sole charge at Brisbane Road for a
decade from 1983.
An inevitable call to Forest came in 1993 and he
guided them into the Premier League and
collected the League Manager's Association award
in 1995.
Moving to Manchester City in late 1996 when things
fell apart on the banks of the Trent, he lasted
at Maine Road until early 1998.
Later worked for the LMA and becoming Vice
Chairman, he came into conflict with United in
2006 when the LMA opposed our bid to appoint
Glenn Roeder as manager, despite him not holding
a coaching licence.
October 2011 saw Frank accept the role of
Nottingham Forest Chairman, succeeding owner
Nigel Doughty.
However, that proved to be a fleeting return to
the City Ground following the sudden death of
Doughty the following February.
With Forest passing into new ownership, Clark was
relieved of his duties in July 2012.
Frank's autobiography, "Black & White and Red
All Over" was published during 2018.
Frank receives some
booty plundered
from the high seas by a pirate
1962 Kevin Brock born,
Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire. (1988-94)
Midfielder who began his career at Oxford United as a
youngster, making his senior debut during the 1979-80 campaign.
That was the first of eight seasons spent at the Manor Ground during which
Brock played his part in successive promotions from third tier football to a
place in the top flight. He also collected four England U21 caps.
That achievement came under the guidance of manager Jim Smith, who had moved on
to take charge of QPR by the time Brock and Oxford beat them 3-0 at Wembley
in the 1986 League Cup Final.
Smith took Brock to Loftus Road at a cost of £260K in August 1987, Kevin then
following the "Bald Eagle" to Newcastle in a £300K moved, debuting in a 2-1
home win over Wimbledon during December 1988.
Unable to prevent United's slip into Division Two, Brock remained at SJP to
enjoy mixed fortunes under Smith and his successors, Ossie Ardiles and Kevin
Keegan.
Abused by Toon fans at various games including at Portsmouth and a 1-4 home
loss to Wolves - Brock was perhaps unfairly seen as weak, despite his
undoubted ability and goalscoring capability.
His penultimate league outing was a memorable one, replacing the injured Tommy
Wright in goal and keeping a 45 minute clean sheet in a 3-2 win at
Birmingham City in November 1992 despite suffering from a bout of
concussion.
Following Newcastle's promotion to the Premier League that season, Brock moved
on loan to second tier side Cardiff City and also appeared for Rushden &
Diamonds before ending his playing career at Banbury United.
Taking over as manager in 1999, he remained in post until 2007, subsequently
taking charge of Hellenic League Premier Division side Ardley United after a
spell as Woodford United coach.
At the age of 52, Brock put his boots (and gloves) back on to appear in goal
for Ardley, allowing usual 'keeper Jack Harding to play outfield. There was
to be no repeat of his Toon heroics though, as they lost 0-2 at Wootton
Basset.
Kevin's 53rd birthday in 2015 coincided with his exit from Ardley -
resigning the previous evening after a 1-5 home loss.

A last-gasp winner from Jimmy Howie extended
Newcastle's 100% start to the season to three games -
all of which had been at SJP.
In pre-floodlight days, this was a 5.15pm kick-off on a
Wednesday, but despite that a late edition of the
Evening Chronicle featuring a full match report was
produced.
1908 A Magpies reserve XI faced Ashington in a
friendly match to open their new Station Road home.
Kicking off at 5.45pm on a Wednesday, United were 2-0 up
at the break through Bell and Jarvis befor a brace from Hall made the final score 4-0 to
Newcastle.

short distance to what was later christened Portland
Park - confusingly referred to as Station Road before
then.
The original Station Road later became home to Ashington
Cricket Club, who remain there today.

Criticised for their lack of adventure in a midweek

adventurous but denied by the Blades until half time.
However a head injury to visiting defender Ernest Milton
saw him remain in the away dressing room after half time
and the hosts soon took advantage.

2014 Jamaal
Lascelles debuted for England U21s in a 3-0 European
Championship qualifying win over Moldova in Tiraspol.
The defender became a Magpie a month earlier and had
returned to his former club Nottingham Forest on a
season-long loan.
2020 Club statement:
Newcastle United can confirm that the Premier League has rejected
a takeover bid made by PCP Capital Partners, the Reuben Brothers and
the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) based on its Owners
and Directors test.
This conclusion has been reached despite the club providing
the Premier League with overwhelming evidence and legal opinions
that PIF is independent and autonomous of the Saudi Arabian
government.
The club and its owners do not accept that Premier League
chief executive Richard Masters and the Premier League have acted
appropriately in relation to this matter and will be considering all
relevant options available to them.
Mike Ashley understands fans’ frustrations and would like to
reassure them that he has been fully committed to ensuring this
takeover process reached completion as he felt it was in the best
interests of the club.
2024 Sandro Tonali played the full game for Italy as they
defeated Israel 2-1. The game was played in Budapest due to the
conflict in the Middle East.
Lewis Hall featured for England U21s at Kenilworth Road and set up
the final goal as they beat Austria 4-1.
2025
It was two goals in two international outings since becoming a Magpie for
Yoane Wissa, who started against Senegal in Kinshasha and put his side 2-1 ahead before half time
from close range.
He was replaced on 74 minutes with the score 2-2 but DRC conceded a third
in the closing stages of the World Cup qualifier.
