Raylor in at right back if Janmaat doesn't make it I'd imagine, even if the docs say he's not ready. He'll be like a new signing.

Two full backs that can't defend, 2 CBs who cost us goals left, right and centre, and a GK about as athletic as a 3 piece suite.

 

We're fucked regardless. Had more points on the the board, at this stage, the season we went down. We've had 6 really nice fixtures and taken 4 points from them. Krul, Elliot, it doesn't matter. We're about to embark on a run where we lose every single game for about 6 weeks off the bounce. The bloke picking it out of the net is irrelevant.

All these injuries aren't good news. It just gives Pardew some ready made excuses that the media and our thick fans will eat right up.

 

It might also show that Pardew is a poor judge of a player seeing as he was behind this signing.  And also that Elliott is not good enough to be first choice should Krul leave.

Excuses won't matter if we are rock bottom and adrift of the pack.

 

Fans will just stick their fingers in their ears and shout 'Ashley is the problem. What can any manager be expected to do with this team?' over and over.

I'll raise you a "who would we get stuck with though"

This a giggsy?

 

Newcastle United have received the results of goalkeeper Tim Krul's scan on Monday.

 

"It showed ligament damage to his left elbow and Krul will be assessed further by the Magpies' medical staff ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Leicester City."

 

An elbow injury acquired in similar circumstances forced Krul's withdrawal from the Dutch squad in September 2012 and saw him miss the following seven first team games (four of which were in the Premier League).

 

An ankle problem saw Krul miss a further nine games later that same season, returning only to be sidelined again for the closing five games after dislocating his shoulder.

 

And his most recent absence from the team in the latter half of last season was due to a knee injury.
