Newcastle will find it hard this season, a 6-1 defeat to League One Orient in a friendly is one thing, but the fact that neither the players nor Hughton seem to know whats going to happen from one day to the next, is worrying to say the least..

Chris Hughton said after the match: “We didn’t win and we didn’t perform. There are ups and downs in football and this was very much a down.”

He added: “This is a loss in a pre-season programme that has gone well so far.

“It’s what we expect in a pre-season period. Come August 8th, this group of lads will be all right. I’m happy with these players.”
