During Newcastle's club-record Premier League losing run they have conceded 15 goals and scored just four - statistics that suggest they are heading for the drop. Ayoze Perez may have netted his first goal of 2015 against Swansea, and De Jong may have returned to the fold, but Carver must be asked how else he intends to get a higher strike rate from this set of players. The return of Papiss Cisse against West Bromwich Albion should help - but will he be match sharp after seven games out?
