Newcastle lose 4-1 at Coventry after another heavy away defeat
Newcastle United lost 4-1 away to Coventry in the Premier League.
It was their second 4-1 away defeat in three games, after a loss at Leeds a month earlier.
The results came after manager Matthias Jaissle began his tenure with five unbeaten matches across all competitions.
Newcastle have since fallen to 11th in the league and have conceded the joint-most goals, alongside Bournemouth and Chelsea.
Jaissle apologised to the fans who travelled to Coventry and said the team needed to defend better and take its chances.
Jamie Carragher said the back-to-back heavy defeats raised questions about Newcastle’s physical strength.
Jaissle said the team would analyse the performance and work on what it could control.
