And Chris Hughton has sent a chilling message to Scunthorpe United ahead of their trip to St James’ Park on Wednesday night – that Andy Carroll is in no mood to turn down even half chances.
Chris Hughton: “Andy wasn’t at his best, and he admitted that.
“But he’s a player in fine form and his goal was great to see.
“When you are in that sort of form, you will stick those chances away.
“It was only a half chance but as I say when you’re in form you score them.
“I’m sure he’ll be looking for more of that in the next few weeks.”
