Matt Bondswell wants to make amends for last weekend’s hiccup when Newcastle United under-21s host Crystal Palace at Whitley Park. A crushing 4-0 defeat to Bristol City a week ago was a nightmare start for the young Magpies in their Premier League Cup campaign.
Monday night allows for a quick turnaround to put the situation right as the Eagles’ second string make the trip to the North East. Alongside Bondswell - who featured in Newcastle’s pre-season friendlies against Benfica, Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao - will be highly-rated youngster Joe White and recent recruit Amadou Diallo.
Speaking to the club website, the England under-18 international urged his teammates to bounce back. Bondswell said: “I think it's as simple as picking ourselves up, analysing where we went wrong and making it right for Monday's game against Palace.
