Newcastle fan reaction after 'embarrassing' Cambridge United defeat

Newcastle United fans have called for major investment in the January transfer window after a dismal display against Cambridge United.

Eddie Howe named a strong side to face the League One minnows, but it was the U's who came out on top at St. James' Park.

It's a stark reminder for Newcastle's new owners how much work needs to be done for the remainder of the season, despite the euphoria surrounding Kieran Trippier's arrival.

Joe Ironside's finish just after the hour mark was enough to ensure Mark Bonner's side would pull off a memorable FA Cup scalp as they progress through to the next round.

Here's how Newcastle fans have reacted to the result at St. James' Park this afternoon:

@Joelh1984 tweeted: "New owners. New manager. Same old #NUFC FA Cup performance."

@1983ptw said: "Pathetic. Should be ashamed disgraceful performance. Min another 5 players needed. Need more than a miracle to stay up."

@Dan94Wilson said: "Anyone really surprised by that result?"

@ConnelHooley tweeted: "Was hoping for a cupset but unfortunately Cambridge go through."
