Newcastle United captain Kieran Trippier urged calm after defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.

Newcastle had the lead, but were beaten 3-1 with former Toon striker Chris Wood scoring a hat-trick.

Tripper later said: "We were in control in the first half, but it was the transitions that we'd spoken about. They have some very quick players and that's where they hurt us.

"We were always in control. They have some very good players on the transition. The most important thing is we regroup and stick together. We have to start the second half of the season strong.

"We have been playing two games a week, week after week and some players aren't used to that. My standards have dropped. I'm old enough to speak about myself and my standards have been nowhere near. I've faced enough set backs in my career to know I can bounce back."
