It's no secret that the Newcastle United football club has been going through a rough season. After coming in fifth place in the 2011 2012 Premier League, and in 10th place this past spring, things seemed to be on the upswing for the Magpies. This fall, though, the club has struggled, losing or drawing all of its matches in the first seven weeks of league play. This past weekend though, the team's players finally did the Newcastle United home kit proud, winning a match against Leicester City.
The "at home" win will undoubtedly boost interest in Newcastle football gear. Luckily, at Soccer Box, we have a wide range of United kit options. Whether you are looking for the club's zebra striped home shirt or for the plain grey away kit, we've got you covered. We even have stock available of the Newcastle United home goalkeeper shirt 2014 2015, a stunning long-sleeved shirt with a unique and artistic green block pattern that fans will love.
The Newcastle 2014 2015 Season
These versions of the Newcastle United shirt will be worn by the squad from now until spring 2015, when the standings for the 2014 2015 Premier League will be officially set in stone. The hope among Magpie fans is that they won't have to watch their squad be relegated to the Football League Championship for 2015 2016.
If the season ended today, Newcastle would be relegated, as they are sitting in the 18th position on the standings table. However, the club has plenty of time to turn its rough start around, build a streak of wins, and make fans proud to wear the Newcastle United home kit once more.
Since the Magpies have not suffered loss after loss like the club at the bottom of the standings table (Queens Park Rangers, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 6 losses), United actually does have a chance to forge a recovery path. The squad is currently sitting at a record of 1 win, 4 draws, and 3 losses.
The Troubles
Even the losses that Newcastle faced are mostly justified. In the first week of Premier League 2014 2015 play, the Magpies were drawn into a fixture against defending division champions, Manchester City.
Even with the home field advantage, and with crowds wearing the Newcastle United home goalkeeper shirt 2014 2015 and other gear, the Magpies couldn't withstand the onslaught of one of England's most talented football organizations. The visiting squad won the game 2-0, and Newcastle began the season with no forward momentum.
Given the fact that the Magpies didn't win a match until week eight, it is clear that losing that first game was a blow to both player and fan confidence. However, even with the opening home loss, the team hasn't unraveled completely. Goalkeeper Tim Krul kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, and additional draws with Crystal Palace, Hull, and Swansea City have kept the Newcastle record from dipping too far.
That doesn't mean the squad hasn't faced other substantial troubles, though. Tim Krul had a lot more trouble in the goalkeeper kit at an away match against Southampton. Southampton, which is enjoying one of its more successful seasons in recent memory, crushed United 4-0, dominating the match from start to finish.
Krul's Newcastle United home goalkeeper shirt 2014 2015 looked considerably stronger at this past weekend's home fixture against Leicester City. The goalkeeper kept his second clean sheet in the 2014 2015 Premier League so far, and the Magpies finally managed a victory. Winger Gabriel Obertan scored the lone goal of the match, giving his club a 1-0 edge. Home crowds went crazy after finally seeing their team's winless streak come to an end.
The question, of course, is this: is the Leicester match a sign of good things to come, or will it end up being one of the few United wins for the year? Cheer for the former outcome by purchasing a brand new Newcastle United home kit at Soccer Box.
