The Magpies Coach Admits Poor Display
The Tyneside club performed horrible last week versus West Ham, as Eddie Howe just admitted in his before the game comments. “We have to produce a performance better. The match against West Ham proved difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learned plenty. At this point we need to begin earning results.”
On the winger: “He was not fit enough ultimately. The scan showed a minor problem in his hip which is an excellent opportunity for Harvey to step up.”
Forest Still Be Without Key Striker
Still no Chris Wood for Forest, while Matz Sels, the defender, the midfielder plus the attacker return.
The German forward comes in for the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who struggled against Brighton last week.

The young midfielder is back in the Palace lineup although there will be an absence of Marc Guéhi for Crystal Palace. Brighton field an unchanged team which beat the Yorkshire side in their last outing.
Oliver Glasner says that their defender “has a bone bruise, he’s on support and he can’t so much as move freely. Currently it looks like he will not feature for England in the upcoming matches as well.”
