James Perch: “I’ve had experience playing against Swansea for (Nottingham) Forest.
"We never used to like playing against them because of how they keep the ball.
“That was Forest, this is Newcastle who are a much better team.
"It will be a different task to recent weeks. West Brom are similar but not as effective passing the ball.
“You know what you’re going to get. They don’t change to play against anyone – be that Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City or Wigan.
“They stick to their formation and pass the ball at every opportunity. We know what to expect, definitely. We know we’ll get worked out of possession – credit to them.”
