ORR DESERVED IT


Newcastle United reserve team coach Tommy Craig has said how he feels that midfielder Bradley Orr deserved his first team call-up for the clash with Manchester City at the weekend.

"Bradley has shown very good progress, particularly since the start of the season," said Craig. "I think the manager wanted to give him a look at what's involved in a Premiership game in terms of pre-match preparation.

"It was a little `well done' or pat on the back. Bradley's still very much learning his trade but it showed him and everyone else he's that little bit closer to the first team."
