Newcastle 1-0 Brest - fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's pre-season friendly between Newcastle and Stade Brestois.

Here are some of your comments:

Andy: Was there on Saturday with my son in the sunshine. Sat next to someone from out of the area who was very impressed with our lovely stadium, even with 'only' 33,000 there. Nice safe atmosphere which was nice after having concerns about even going during the week.

Cliff: What a great way to finish pre season! A dominant performance by the lads, plus the defence has been much more resilient compared to last season.

Matthew: Overall a good performance against a 24-25 Champions League side but hard to judge as unsure how many first team Brest players were involved. New signings and fringe players did OK. Bruno was combative as ever. Miguel Almiron seemed a little off the pace and Fabian Schar getting injured was a worry.

Pete: Good physical workout against a good Champions League side in Brestois. No way Osula’s goal was offside, timed his run perfectly, and finished well. That’s two wins in two days, if we can have better luck with injuries than last season, looking good for a top three/four finish. Best game of the week-ender was the women’s game! Well done the lasses!

Brian: Solid performance but still short of strikers, needs addressing quickly.
