Former Blackburn Rovers captain Tim Sherwood claims Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will find himself "under pressure" if he doesn't translate draws into wins at St James' Park. Newcastle have lost just one of their opening seven matches in the Premier League (W1 D5) but are winless since their 2-0 triumph over newly-promoted Nottingham Forest on the opening day.
The Magpies have registered more draws (five) than any other club in the Premier League and have scored just once from open play in their last three matches.
Although Sherwood is confident that Howe is the "right man" to lead Newcastle out of their early season wobble, the Premier League winner insists that results must improve quickly before the pressure begins to mount on Howe.
