Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits their form crisis has forced a rethink of January market plans.

In the short-term, the manager is concentrating only on Monday night's home clash with Wigan and the task of securing a much-needed victory, but with the January transfer window looming large, a plan is being drawn up.

Pardew said: "We have been unlucky, but we are in the process of analysing whether we under-cooked it, and that's what we should do.

"It would be silly not to."
