Newcastle United: Crisis Point

Where has it all gone wrong? That was the question exercising our Newcastle United team as they sat down to sift through the wreckage of the home defeat against Watford – and looked ahead to a potentially pivotal Capital One Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday. Newcastle United Editor Mark Douglas, writer Chris Waugh and Stuart Rayner – who made his seasonal debut on the podcast – talked about Fabricio Coloccini, whether the players have got away with it for too long and the big talking point of the weekend: the dressing room chemistry. It threw up some interesting conclusions, along with Stuart making a very fine point about Newcastle’s supposed summer of change. And we ended it by asking the question that might be on every Newcastle fan’s lips on Wednesday: would you take a relegation battle if it meant United went deep in the League Cup?
