READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
With Steve Bruce in attendance, a positive result and performance from the under-23 side will be a huge boost to some of the more promising players in the Xi s they look to step into the first-team.
Bruce would surely have had his eye on potential prospects to promote into his squad, if they are ready to make the jump to Premier League football – much like Sean Longstaff did, albeit after a loan spell away from the club.
With Newcastle having only scored four goals in their first five games of the season, Bruce may look to the goalscorers from the win to add extra firepower to his team.
