Toon Concern Over Stoke Carling Cup Exit?

Glenn Whelan: "We're down because we thought we had a great chance of progressing.

"But we'll be back in training, fighting again and getting our preparations right for the weekend.

"Newcastle will be looking at us and will know they are in for a hard game.

"We will be working hard because it's all about staying in the Premier League and hopefully we can get the three points."
