Alan Pardew admits he’s worried after Newcastle’s latest loss
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew admitted his growing concern after his team’s poor recent run continued with a 2-1 defeat against Fulham.
The Magpies, so impressive last season, have lost five of their last six league matches and their defensive shortcomings were exposed again at Craven Cottage.
“I’m worried in as much as we’re not picking up points,” said Pardew.
“Performances have been much improved – our attacking has more fluency about it – but it’s a worry that we don’t have enough points on the board.
“We’ve got a tough run of games. We’ve put ourselves under pressure by losing two home games against Swansea and West Ham – that hurt us.”
Pardew’s side have now gone seven months without an away win.
“It’s difficult to put our finger on it,” he added.
“Some performances have been good. We need to get back the resilience we showed last year away from home.”
