8 Youngsters Who Could Save Newcastle From Relegation

4. Macaulay Gillesphey

Currently on loan at Carlisle United, the defender is comfortable on either flank as well as in the centre, and his lower-league experience can only aid his progression. With injuries a constant problem in Newcastle's back line, a claim could be made to bring the 20 year old back to Tyneside early, especially with the current back four proving very ineffective. Plus, with a name like Gillesphey, his arrival in the first team could provide positive memories for a fan base fed up with inept performances on a weekly basis. But when you're grasping at nostalgia something is badly wrong.
