00:00 So I'm here outside Molnieu, our new castinated just to 2-2 with Wolverhampton.
00:04 Wanderers a fair result overall, they castinated twice, took the lead through Callum Wilson.
00:09 But as I say, I thought Wolves deservedly got a point.
00:12 A controversy at the end of the first half when Enni Castle had taken the lead.
00:16 Mario Lamina had equalised for Wolves.
00:19 Enni Castle got apparently Fabian Scher fouled in the box.
00:21 VAR checked the decision, lengthy check it was.
00:25 I've watched it back now and still can't decide if it was apparently.
00:29 But the penalty stood and Callum Wilson made 2-1.
00:33 Wolves then went up the other end, had a penalty peel of their own.
00:35 Bruno Gomarez, handball.
00:37 I don't think it was a penalty but it certainly left the crowd miffed, the home crowd.
00:43 And that made it a very difficult atmosphere for Newcastle in the second half.
00:47 The home fans were shouting everything from the referee.
00:50 But as I say, emotion aside, I do think Wolves deserved that point.
00:56 And to be fair, I think it's a good point for Newcastle if I'm honest.
01:03 Maybe if you look at this point without playing a midweek, you can probably argue that it's a two-point shot.
01:08 But they're in such a tight schedule at the moment.
01:12 Picking up injuries, a depleted bench today, only one Premier League appearance or one Premier League start on it this season.
01:17 Matt Target, obviously I had Joe Willock to call a bomb.
01:21 But in terms of attacking options, Tino Libero, Mendoza, Lewis Hall, both on the bench, both full-backs.
01:26 Eddie Howe decided not to call upon them.
01:30 And yeah, it was an energetic end, shall I say, end to end in the final stages.
01:36 But Newcastle do take a point.
01:38 And it extends an unbeaten Premier League run.
01:41 They go to Manchester United now on Wednesday, they're real tough on that.
01:45 They could have done without that game.
01:46 They've got lots of injuries.
01:49 But Eddie Howe said at the end there, he'll try and put the strongest goal out as he can as possible.
01:52 He needs to manage the team selection right.
01:54 And then obviously after Manchester United, they've got Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, whole month to the international break.
01:59 So yeah, it's a tough schedule.
02:01 Eddie Howe gave updates on Alexandra Isaac and Jacob Murphy.
02:05 Isaac looks like he's going to be out until after the international break.
02:07 Jacob Murphy needs surgery.
02:08 So the injury situation doesn't get any better for Newcastle, but they've got a battle on.
