Many reasons why Newcastle have descended into a shambles in last month and it can’t be claimed the Jak Alnwick situation hasn’t been one of the factors.
When the match finished yesterday, I must admit my first thought was far from looking for positives from the latest Newcastle v Sunderland disappointment.
Alan Pardew says he doesn’t expect Tim Krul, or indeed Rob Elliot, back until mid-January at the earliest, meaning at least 7 fixtures without the two.
Alan Pardew has revealed that only days before Jak Alnwick made his debut against Chelsea, the young goalkeeper had knocked on his door to have a go at him.
