Three things we learned as Newcastle stutter against Birmingham in the FA Cup

|

Defensive frailty

In truth, it was lucky for Newcastle that Lukas Jutkiewicz didn’t notch another header late on in proceedings.

Towards the end of the game, the Blues ace managed to find far too much space on a number of occasions and, if it were for some better finishing, would have put the Toon to the sword.

This sort of frailty has proved to be a sewing motif of Newcastle’s season and they really need to sort it out.
