However, he admitted that his squad could be stretched to breaking point if he suffers any fresh injury worries.The Magpies came back from 3-1 down to claim a 4-3 victory at St James' Park, with Kevin Nolan scoring the winner with five minutes left.But after seeing substitutes Shola Ameobi and Jonas Gutierrez both limp out of the contest, he knows he cannot afford to see his squad become depleted any further."It does emphasise the fact that the squad we have here is a good squad, but if we are to have any injuries, it becomes a squad that's very stretched," he said.WorthyDespite the visitors looking likely winners for much of the second-half, Hughton thought his side would have been unlucky to exit the competition."I suppose it could go down as a typical cup tie, but I was pleased we came out winners in the end - and I thought over the 90 minutes, we were worthy winners," he added.Huddersfield manager Lee Clark was pleased with the performance of his side but very disappointed to lose the match after holding a commanding two-goal lead."It's disappointing to lose a football match, but I have just said to the players, they have done us proud tonight," he said."We took Newcastle to the wire, we were a threat all evening and contributed to what was a very, very good cup tie played with high intensity at high pace, and quality play from both sides at times."
