Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow has revealed that he is happy to be back in action and added that his club needs to focus on building upon the point which they earned against West Brom this week.
The Magpies had been on a poor run of form recently and lost four consecutive games prior to their draw against the Baggies. Darlow replaced Rob Elliot between the sticks for the match against the Baggies.
Darlow served as first choice keeper for the Magpies for the majority of last season as the club went on to win the Championship title.
However he lost his place to Elliot towards the end of the season and made his first appearance of the current League season against the Baggies.
He said about the situation: “The manager rotates quite often, so you have to be ready each week and I’m just pleased to be back and playing for Newcastle. I was happy.
“I knew I needed to manage myself through my first game back after not playing for a while, but I felt good. I felt like I did all right, so we’ll see what kind of team he picks on Saturday (at Chelsea).”
