00:00Newcastle United assistant head coach Jason Tindall has previewed the Magpies next game against Crystal Palace

00:05with the hopes that Joe Linton can get through without being booked and receiving a ban.

00:11Yeah, at the start of the season we wanted to try and finish as high up the league as we could.

00:18We knew it would be incredibly difficult because there's so many good teams in the Premier League.

00:23We know it's probably the best league in the world and every result that you get in the Premier League is incredibly tough.

00:31There's so many good sides that you have to be at your best week in, week out to be able to do that.

00:36Full credit to the players and certainly after the emotions and the high of the cup final to come back after that

00:43and deliver the performances and the results that they have done, full credit to them.

00:47But we know now we've got an important game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

00:50Seven cup finals left and we have to go out and deliver the same type of performance like today.

00:55Joey is a phenomenal player.

00:58What he gives the team, his passion, his desire, his commitment, it's there for everybody to see.

01:04So it was important at that stage that we were able to bring off a few of the players to rest their legs.

01:11We've got a busy week coming up.

01:12And finally, Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick has made clear that Middlesbrough did not possess enough attacking threat

01:18during their 1-0 loss away at Millwall in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

01:25Yeah, this game we came to get something from to try and win and we haven't done it.

01:30So it's obviously a blow for us.

01:33It's our time of the season when results are important now and it's getting closer.

01:36So it's a blow for us.

01:38First off, we were pretty good to be honest, coming here and controlling the game and played well, to be honest.

01:46Just that last little bit around the box and we couldn't find that.

01:50We had many, many opportunities to find that to make a big chance and we couldn't find that.

01:57And then we were on top, we got a score really and we had our spell and then they had 20-25 minutes after half-time really

02:02was their spell in the game and they made the most of it.

02:05So, yeah, we didn't do enough.

02:08We had obviously a chance for Marcus and they keep him in a fantastic save.

02:11But other than that, we didn't have enough in and around the box today.
