Speaking after the defeat away at Queens Park Rangers, Carver said:
"Im really disappointed about it because in the first half I thought we were in control. We were not under any threat and then for that 10 minutes after half-time we shot ourselves in the foot again. We could have avoided that. It was in our hands and we could have put it to bed, we havent but now it is definitely the biggest game and the biggest weve had for a long, long time."
Despite playing in a Capital One Cup quarter-final only six months before, and a major European quarter-final around three years ago, JC saw the game at home to West Ham as the biggest the club had face for a long while. Really? This shows just how far the club has gone backwards in recent times. Newcastle didn't even need to win last Sunday's remember to secure their place in the Premier League, remember? They just had to pray Hull City didn't beat Manchester United if they failed to defeat The Hammers...
