Barton impressed with Barton composure
Newcastle boss Chris Hughton praised the composure shown by Joey Barton who appeared to be singled out by Wolves skipper Karl Henry for some robust tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw.
Barton was on the receiving end of several committed challenges during a game where 12 players were shown yellow cards by referee Stuart Attwell.
He was seen to exchange words with Wolves boss McCarthy near the tunnel at the final whistle.
Hughton said: "Did Barton do well to keep his cool? Yes. It was a competitive game, which is one you expect when you come here.
"These are a good honest team and it was a real tough game for us.
"Amongst all that, you've got to keep calm and composed but I think when you are a wholehearted midfield player yourself, you accept that it goes both ways. Sometimes it comes out in your favour and sometimes it doesn't."
