The pressure is on for the club to win some silverware, but Scotland international Caldwell, who has recently signed a new one-year contract with Newcastle is convinced that this season will see him become a first team regular.

22-year-old Caldwell said: "If there is one of the lesser known younger players going to make a big breakthrough this season, then I hope it is me.

"There are a lot of good young players here but I'm still confident enough in my own ability to think I can compete with the best.

"As a group of players, we are all desperate to win something - and in the end, that is how we will be judged.

"People will stop talking about this great Newcastle side unless it starts to win some trophies."
