Newcastle slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace at home in the Premier League last night.
Steve Bruce would have expected a better showing from his players after the win over Everton last time out but the Newcastle players failed to step up against the Eagles.
In terms of performance, the home side were not at their worst but they will be frustrated with their defending on the night.
The Magpies could have easily avoided both goals, but their defenders were not switched on and they were punished for their lack of awareness.
