But their away form has been miserable, with the trend continuing in the Carabao Cup against Newcastle United.
After a 3-1 quarter final loss, Frank stated: “On the day, we lost to a better team than us.
"We didn’t defend well enough. That was the key thing. Overall, you can’t go to St James’ Park and concede the three goals we conceded.
"We need to do better. I will look into it, everyone needs to look into it, there’s no doubt about it."
