Nick Woltemade’s barren run in front of goal stretched to seven games in all competitions after Newcastle United’s record-signing managed just 13 touches in his side’s drab goalless draw against bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Edwards is out due to injury maintenance for a second consecutive game, and this one will be a tough task for the Wolves.

Anthony Edwards is in his sixth NBA season, but he is still only 24 years old. These two numbers can lead to some conflicting viewpoints among fans. In six seasons, it’s easy to say Edwards should have the league figured out by now after more than half a decade in it — that he should be consistently great night in and night out.

Wolves in the second half brought on Jorgen Strand Larsen, a forward Newcastle wanted to sign in the summer. And his appearance only highlighted how troubled Eddie Howe has been by his striking options this season. While the goalless draw again highlighted his side’s trouble in breaking down a low block.
