00:00 Hello, Joe Buck and Dom Skir here after Newcastle's 2-2 draw with Wolves.
00:05 Callum Wilson's brace in the first half was equalised in the second half by Huang He Chan.
00:11 There was a goal in between his two strikes.
00:14 Dom, what's your thoughts after that game?
00:15 It was a tricky one for Newcastle, they looked tired.
00:18 I think that was the overriding emotion, wasn't it?
00:20 They looked tired during that.
00:21 Yeah, I think given the level of performance, I don't think Newcastle were quite at it today
00:25 to come away to Wolves, a long trip, and pick up a point.
00:28 We can't be too dissatisfied.
00:30 I think it probably speaks volumes of the high standards set by Eddie Howe and his players
00:35 where we've come away to Wolves and probably not quite happy with the performance.
00:40 I think Fabian Schär and Callum Wilson were probably the only two players to really turn up today.
00:47 We were speaking, Keiron Trippi had probably had one of his worst displays for Newcastle.
00:51 Nick Pope, again, a couple of shaky moments.
00:53 Bruno lost possession a few times, not to pick too many players up,
00:58 but it was just one of those days where Newcastle were in bad weather, a bit sluggish in possession.
01:03 Out of it as well, I thought Wolves, every time they went forward in the second half,
01:07 looked like they'd caused Newcastle some trouble.
01:09 A 2-1 at half-time, Newcastle slightly fortunate with the penalty on the stroke of half-time
01:14 as Fabian Schär went down under the challenge of Hwang He Chan.
01:18 VAR gave it after Anthony Taylor gave it on the pitch as well.
01:22 So, yes, unfortunate for Wolves, but they deserved the equaliser with 20 minutes to play.
01:30 It was coming, probably about 10-15 minutes before that as well.
01:34 So, yes, 2-2, points.
01:37 Another game unbeaten, six unbeaten now in the Premier League.
01:40 So, yes, I thought it was just one of those days, really.
01:43 I think, yes, we might have took a point, maybe not half-time, but certainly coming here,
01:47 I think we might have thought a point would have been a good result.
01:50 They certainly rode their luck, we've mentioned the penalty,
01:52 and I'm sure that will get talked about loads on social media, on TV,
01:55 that penalty will cause debate.
01:56 But, as you say, I think we would have took it before the game,
01:59 and after seeing that, after seeing how tired they were,
02:02 I think you've got to look at it as a point game.
02:03 And then they've got this Manchester United in midweek,
02:06 so it doesn't get any easier than Arsenal, then Borussia Dortmund.
02:08 So, it was a good point to head into Manchester United in midweek,
02:12 and all focus on that, what Eddie Howe does.
02:14 I mean, I'm sure, we're speaking to him before Eddie Howe spoke after that match,
02:17 I'm sure he's going to have lots of decisions to make ahead of that Man U game in Arsenal next week.
