Make use of the squad

That is something that Pardew has alluded to, with both Jack Colback and Moussa Sissoko suspended for the game against Burnley.

The Magpies boss has made it clear that whilst that is a huge blow, he expects such occurrences throughout the season and that is why there is a full squad to select from.

Not only will it give players who might not have had the chance to start otherwise a shot but it will mean Sissoko will be available to face Chelsea come Saturday.
