Alan Pardew: “It was a good game for us.
"Den Haag’s season starts next week so they were obviously up to speed.
"We were the better side and really should have won because we made numerous chances.
“It was a good work-out, but we lacked a little of imagination today and you have to expect that in pre-season games.
"That’s the one thing that is normally missing at this time of pre-season.
“So we will use the next two weeks to sharpen up.
"The grass was way too long and that stopped us from passing the ball as we like. It also stopped us from beating people.
"But it was good. We do look sharp and fit, which is all I can ask of them, although it would have been nice to score and win the game.”
