Plymouth Argyle used Newcastle United's training facilities in the build-up to their away Championship match against Sunderland after having to change their travel plans because of Storm Eowyn.

Miron Muslic and his Pilgrims' squad had been scheduled to fly by plane to the north-east of England on Friday but because of the forecasted very strong winds their journey was brought forward to Thursday, just a day after their 5-0 drubbing by Burnley at Home Park.

Muslic was able to arrange for Argyle to use the facilities at Newcastle's Darsley Park training centre on Friday through the Premier League club's sporting director Paul Mitchell.

It has been quite a fortnight for Muslic, who was appointed as head coach on January 10, saw his new side cause a FA Cup upset by winning at Brentford the next day and has then taken charge of four Championship games in 12 days.

Muslic spoke about how Newcastle had helped out Argyle following the 2-2 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, when substitute Nathanael Ogbeta came up with a 90th minute equaliser for the visitors.

He said: "My first two weeks in England are just an adventure all over the place! We arrived here having the opportunity to use the training facilities of Newcastle United, having the doors open over there, because of my contact to Paul Mitchell, the sporting director.

"They give us all the facilities we need so we actually used this storm to work on the pitch, and I think it was also good we stayed together for two days so we can use it for some tactical sessions, some video analysis and to get closer and to know each other.

"So in the end the possible disadvantage was actually an advantage, especially with the hospitality of Newcastle United. They told me I cannot not lose the game over here. I kept my word."
