Jaissle on the two halves
Speaking after the match, Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle said: "In the first half we weren't bad out of possession, but we did not have an offensive mindset. We had the handbrake on. In the second half we moved and we deserved to win."
The German coach also said: "It was a tough game in the first half. We couldn’t get our reward for our intensity. In the second half, it was much better. If we are all together - this journey can be successful."
Jaissle on Dedic's return
Jaissle said of Dedic: "We have missed him. Due to his injury situation, he is getting better and better. We have seen how much of an impact he has. He helps a lot with our way of playing."
Next two matches
Newcastle's next two matches are against Everton, in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League.
