Newcastle United vs Blackburn 1-2, EPL 2008, week 6
Beat Newcastle 2-1, Blackburn Manager feel Sory..
Ince had been targeted as a potential Newcastle manager before Joe Kinnear was appointed as interim boss on Friday.
After seeing his side overcome the challenge of a depleted Toon Army this afternoon, Ince admitted sympathy for his opponents but was happy with the character and focus shown by his own charges.
He told the press: "It was important in the last 48 hours that we shut that out and concentrated on what Blackburn Rovers is all about rather than feeling sorry for Newcastle.
"Also, it was a case of who got the first goal. As soon as we got the first goal I felt at ease because I knew the crowd would get on their backs.
"It's not the [Newcastle] players' fault. They are trying, they are trying really, really hard and I feel sorry for them.
"But at the end of the day, as soon as we got the first goal, I thought we were comfortable."
Siapa Bisa Selamatkan Newcastle ?
Kekalahan demi kekalahan terus menghantui tim tanpa nahkoda ini. Kali ini, hal itu terjadi di kandang sendiri St James Park dan disaksikan oleh hampir 45 ribu penonton. 45 menit pertama, tim tuan rumah sudah keteteran. Dua gol bersarang melalui kaki Christopher Samba dan Roque Santa Cruz masing-masing pada menit ke 31 dan 41. Kiper Shay Given nampaknya masih lemah mengantisipasi bola-bola atas lantaran kedua gol tercipta melalui heading. Gol balasan The Magpies terjadi pada menit ke-50 setelah Ryan Nelsen melakukan kesalah di kotak pinalti. Tendangan kaki kanan Michael Owen ke arah tengah gawang mengecoh kiper Jason Brown.
