We're on a Cup run

Who would have thought it - NUFC have won a cup game!

True to my word I am writing blog entry while digging into a large piece of Humble pie -  Humble pie that has never tasted so sweet.

Cup football  is all about winning & moving onto the next round so credit to Alan Pardew and his team. This must be a real confidence booster for our squad and Manu Riviere in particular who grabbed a brace - goals he really needed.

Pardew rotated his squad and was rewarded with impressive performances from from Mehdi Abeid, Obertan, and Adam Armstrong who can all look towards making a impact in the first team. He needed a win and he got it. Job done

Pardew knows however he is still under big pressure, he knows a cup win against a weakened Palace team will not right all the wrongs - yet it is a step in the right direction. Nothing would make me happier than Pardew turning things around and having a successful season. Yet the next few weeks and a return to Premier league football will really show the resolve of Pardew and his team.

We're on a cup run - bring on Man City!

Manu converts a pen, his 2nd goal.
