The emotions will be running high at St. James' Park where Nottingham Forest will make their return to the Premier League after 23 years in a difficult road ...

26th min.: Some chaos in and around the Forest box that ends with a shot from Bruno Guimaraes that's off the mark. The Frenchman gets the ball on that left wing and is targeting Forest captain Worrall. This time his slicing run ends in a shot on goal that Dean Henderson stops. 31st min.: Chance Newcastle! Big Joelinton pushes into the attack and he rips two shots in consecutive minutes with one coming close to Forest's left post. 58th min.: Goal Newcastle! After Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin were misfiring in the box, Fabian Schar collects a clearance and blasts it into the top right corner. The Brazilian and Almiron are connecting well. The one thing that should be concerning to Eddie Howe is the decision-making and lack of goal-scoring instincts from his attackers in the final third. Saint-Maximin and Almiron are always busy on the flanks, and they want to make things happen on the ball. There came a point when Cooper didn't need all three of them on the field and would have been better suited adding a central midfielder. His vision, decision-making, and feel for the game are world-class. Jesse Lingard had a quiet debut for his new club, while record signing Taiwo Awoniyi and newcomer Orel Mangala came off the bench, but could not provide much of a spark. And they didn't even need star center-back signing Sven Botman, who only came on in the the final minute. Two moments of superb class by Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson produced the decisive goals in the second half.

Forest’s riposte was a Lingard effort that was well blocked by Schar but it wasn’t enough to spoil an almost perfect day for the home side. Allan Saint-Maximin was not able to head past Dean Henderson. Newcastle, of course, feel they are still a couple of attacking players short and as they struggled to break down Forest for 45 minutes you could understand that. For Nottingham Forest, this was a harsh lesson to absorb on the first day of the season. Before the game the supporters unveiled a banner that reflected a “New Day, a New Dawn” at the club. Some of his passing and vision with the ball at his feet was breath-taking – with a World Cup to come in a few months, he could enjoy a special campaign.

That’s—for now at least—not guaranteed, but if ASM keeps playing as he did for the first 89 minutes of the year, Newcastle should be in for a treat. Whoever ended up starting on the center of the defensive line yesterday was going to get a closer-than-average look because of the abundance of resources at the position and the fact that one of them—Sven Botman—is also the most expensive and freshest addition to it and the club as a whole. As with Wilson (with injuries being the malady in his case), Newcastle has a very legitimate player starting on the wing but that’s assuming he can stay on top of his game and not gamble or commit dumb actions and mistakes. He carried the squad up the pitch, provided sparky moments, completed the third-highest percentage of passes among Magpies’ midfielders and forwards, and never got angry or frustrated with himself as has often been the case in the past. Not only did Schar clear four balls (Burn got five clearances, by the way) but he also blocked a couple of shots (one of them clearly the best chance from Nottingham Forest), intercepted three passes, tackled a couple of opponents, and allowed no dribbles at all past his warm body. Forest never posed a threat as they were clearly outmatched, Newcastle bagged their three first points of the year, and it was all rosy inside and around St James’ Park on a very sunny Saturday.
