Alan Pardew says that he is worried by Newcastle United's current form in the Premier League.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has admitted that he is concerned by his side's current form.

The Magpies were beaten 2-1 by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday night and sit 14th in the Premier League table.

Pardew's side have won just one game in their last seven matches, and he concedes that he is worried by the team's struggles so far this campaign.

"I'm worried in so much as we're not picking up enough points," said Pardew.

"That's pretty evident. Although the performances against Stoke, Wigan and now Fulham have been much improved – and certainly our attacking play today had a bit more fluency about it – it's a worry that we haven't got enough points on the board.

"We need to concentrate on the next game, Manchester City at home, and try to pick up some points. We've got a tough run of games coming up, but we've put ourselves under pressure by losing the home games against Swansea and West Ham, they were particularly hurtful for us. We can't turn back the clock though, that's where it is."

Newcastle host Manchester City on Saturday.
