The Worst Time Possible To Lose Yer Keeper!

Rob Elliot will make his league debut for the club against Southampton tomorrow . in a s-point fixture as both sides are hovering just above relegation, Tim Krul suffered an ankle injury in Thursday night’s 1-0 Europa League win over Metalist Kharkiv when he was caught late by Jonathan Cristaldo as the Ukrainian side pressed for an equaliser. Newcastle’s other senior goalkeeper, long-serving Steve Harper, has a niggling knee problem. Elliot, signed from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2011, has made just six appearances for the club, all of them in cup competitions. Alan Pardew: “I’d have no qualms about playing Rob – he’s been absolutely brilliant in training. “So I’d have no problem with that." Source: Newcastle United Mad
