Neco Williams left St James' Park insisting that Nottingham Forest be given time to find their feet back in the Premier League.

The lucky Newcastle fan handed a £4,000 Rolex watch by Allan Saint-Maximin afterwards as a thank you for their support could no doubt help the recent City Ground arrival quantify exactly how much of football's most precious commodity they require, after their top flight return ended with the clock still ticking on a 23-year wait for a victory at this level.
