Newcastle supporters raise questions as Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak start against Brighton

Newcastle United supporters have questioned Eddie Howe's choice to start Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak together after a two games without a win. There was plenty clamour from a section of supporters to see the pair play together with both in the midst of a purple patch.

Howe rolled the dice and the pair did indeed start alongside one another, with Isak out on the left-hand flank and Wilson through the middle. However, defeat to Arsenal and a point on the road at Leeds has seen a section of supporters call for the Magpies head coach to go back to the side that was winning games on the bounce.

Needless to say the pair will start against Brighton this evening with a win handing Newcastle a huge advantage heading into the final two games of the season. A win over the Gulls, then a win over Leicester City would secure the Toon's Champions League berth.
