Newcastle United supporters fear for Nottingham Forest based on their first performance of the Premier League season at St James' Park.
Fabian Schär gave the hosts a lead just before the hour mark after letting fly from long-range and finding the top corner. A second was tucked away by Callum Wilson late on to seal all three points for Eddie Howe's side.
Magpies fans have been offering their verdict on Forest in the aftermath. Here is a selection of the social media reaction to the match.

Justin Terrett: Forest shouldn’t be too worried. You won’t play a team that good every week.
Matt Guest: Brilliant. Dominant display, and on another day, we could have scored another 2 or 3. I fear for Forest when they play someone like Man City.
Callum Irving: Technically and physically, head and shoulders above them. Forest are in for a long, long season if they play like that every week. How bad were they!
James Kenning: That was a complete performance all around! Just need that cutting edge. It should’ve been much more than two, but I’m not complaining. Do want to see us against better sides, though before I go overboard with season predictions, Forest were pretty poor.
Ryan Beard: Going off that, I think Forest will be demolished against some teams. Had nothing for the entire game. The likes of Man City, Liverpool could turn them over first half. We should have, really.
Michael Pattison: Welcome to the Premier League.
Morgan Burt: We played very well, thought Forest were poor though... expected a tougher game than that.
