Callum Wilson takes ‘full responsibility’ for poor Newcastle United form and using critics as motivation

Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson says he has taken 'full responsibility' for his barren goalscoring run but he is refusing to let negativity affect him.

A poor run from the England international has coincided with the Magpies’ own troubles in recent months. England manager Gareth Southgate was impressed by Wilson’s contribution earlier in the campaign, forcing him to recall the striker for the World Cup after three years in the international wilderness.

However, the Toon number nine has struggled to rediscover his goalscoring touch since returning from Qatar. For club and country, Wilson has bagged just once in his previous 16 appearances. A third-minute strike against West Ham United last month is all the 31-year-old has managed in 2023, with Newcastle’s frontline under increasing scrutiny.
