Neil Warnock is expecting 'big things' from Nick Pope at Newcastle United. Pope signed for the Magpies this summer, joining from Burnley for a fee in the region of £10 million.
Pope got his Newcastle career off to the perfect start, keeping a clean sheet in the Magpies' 2-0 opening day win over Nottingham Forest. The goalkeeper had very little to do at St James' Park on his debut, on an afternoon where the visitors failed to register a shot on target.
Pope is battling for the number one shirt with Martin Dubravka, with both goalkeepers impressing during pre-season, but it seems as though Pope has been given the nod between the sticks by Eddie Howe.
