Here we go again. CC done in the corner.

I'd put money on Mara to score that Adams chance.

Adams through with 'keeper to beat. Misses.

More composure in the final 3rd FFS!

Adams on for Mara. Well that's that then. Might as well give up now.

Been impressed with Mara.

Joelinton been taking lessons from Che Adams?

What a miss by Joelinton.

Saints nick the ball in the final 3rd but nobody makes a run into space wanting the ball.

I don't think we'll be taking an unassailable lead into the 2nd leg.

Commentators trying to make out that the handball wasn't arm to ball. Give it up lads, you're embarrassing yourselves with the bias.

Saints finding it hard to get any sort of grip on the game. Take 0-0 though.

Pope wipes out Djenepo. Not a free kick apparently.

'Keepers do get away with a lot.

Alcaraz takes a shot. Corner!

This is shocking stuff from Saints. Still 0-0 though.

Referee disallows goal for Newcastle.

Another Saints corner comes to nothing. Yellow for Alcarez.

Saints will be lucky to take 0-0 to the 2nd leg at this rate.

Is it me or do the Newcastle players just look a lot bigger than our boys?

If only Saints could just string a couple of composed passes together.

Ropy start from Saints. Early days.

Could be worse. Looking forward to the game.

He'll be back on April 1st for sure.

Any truth in the rumours that Bednarek will take on a No. 9 role? 😂
