Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul admitted his relief that his Carlisle United debut didn't end in calamity on Saturday, but it was a different story three days later at Millwall!
Krul said his Brunton Park bow was almost ruined by a communications breakdown which saw defender Richard Keogh head against his own crossbar.
Krul Luck As Tim Gets That Calamity!

Krul: "Richard was already up to head it when I shouted 'keeper's.' It was just a little communication thing and we are still getting to know each other."I am still learning the names but now I know what I have got in front of me.
"I am really happy - my defence was on its toes, the centre-backs were winning their headers and I was pleased with that.
"I was aware it was our first clean sheet for a while, but with a performance like that we can get a clean sheet every week."
Sadly, Tim produced a 'howler' in the last minute at the New Den to gift Millwall three points.
Millwall boss Kenny Jackett admitted his relief after Tresor Kandol's last-gasp strike secured a 1-0 win over Carlisle.
Substitute Kandol's stoppage-time header was a gift as Krul 'came and didm't collect', and the goal settled the game and kept up the pace on Leicester and MK Dons at the top of League One.
Jackett: "We were pretty nervous at the end and if we had not scored I would have been very disappointed because we knew we could beat Carlisle.
"They played well here last year but it was quite a demanding performance and all we needed was for that first goal to go in.
"It would be lovely to score more goals and put all our chances away but at least we are creating the chances - I know if we do create them on a regular basis, we will score."
