Major Concern For Toon?

Last updated : 19 October 2016 By Footy Mad - Editor

Newcastle United are sat top of the league and all is going well.

But there is concern that, although Dwight Gayle is the man on fire at the moment, no-one is chipping in with the goals to help him.

Everything at the moment goes through Gayle, with only Jonjo Shelvey (3 goals) sticking the ball in the back of the net.

An injury to Gayle is unthinkable at the moment, with Aleksandar Mitrovic saving his best performances for Serbia; Mohamed Diame playing like Bambi; Ayoze Perez blowing hot and cold; and ex-Mackem Murphy ... let's not even go there!
