Manager Views
Hull manager Phil Brown:
"It was all about the result and not the performance, and we got the result.
"People said that with eight changes you've gone and thrown the chance to play Millwall at home. But we don't set out to lose games.
"The lads have restored a bit of belief in the camp with
regards to winning games at this level. We've kept a clean sheet
against them and gone on to deservedly win."
Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear:
"Hugely frustrating but I
can't criticise the players, we had 11 missing. I really should be
sitting here talking about us winning by four clear goals.
"They had a smash-and-grab at the end. Here we are out of the FA Cup and bitterly disappointed, but not with the performance.
"Phil Brown and I just exchanged words. He instigated it and I answered him back. But we will have to wait and see what the referee's explanation is."
