With only 11 days to go until Newcastle host Southampton, interesting to see how many minutes on the pitch for each of the Newcastle United players in the pre-season friendlies.
So have the right players got the right number of minutes this summer?
Newcastle has played SpVgg Unterhaching, Hull City, Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama F Marinos, with a maximum of 360 minutes available for each player (ignoring injuries, suspensions, extended leave due to international duty etc).
With only next weekend St James’ Park double against Girona and Brest still to come ahead of the serious stuff.
These are the highest to lowest in terms of minutes for Newcastle United players so far in pre-season (Just in case the breakdown for each player needs explaining: S = SpVgg Unterhaching, H = Hull City, U = Urawa Red Diamonds, Y = Yokohama F Marinos):
