  "account": "Newcastle defender Lewis Hall spoke about the team's performance following their 2-1 victory over Hull City. While the Magpies were pleased with securing a win, Hall acknowledged that they were a bit sloppy during the match. Lewis Hall opened the scoring for Newcastle with a goal in just seven minutes, but the Tigers managed to come back into the game later on. During an interview with BBC Radio Newcastle, Hall criticized the team's inability to prevent the Tigers from getting back into the match. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong mentality in the dressing room. Hall acknowledged that the score of 2-1 indicated the direction the game was heading, but he felt that the win was a mixture of their own efforts and a good finish from Hull's player. Scoring a goal at home is always a special experience, especially when the family is present. Hall also expressed his satisfaction with the start of the season under new manager Matthias Jaissle, stating that it was really positive, except for the slip-up against Leeds. Overall, he believes that the team has started better than people would have expected and that the mentality in the dressing room is really good.",
