So far Lee Clark is still Newcastle United Reserve team coach and has avoided Sam Allardyce's cull, although obviously his future depends on results.

The Reserves have four friendly fixtures before the start of the season:

Benfield Bay Plastics (A) July 24 (7.45) Workington (A) August 2 (7.45)
Gateshead (A) August 6 (7.45)
Newcastle Blue Star (H) August 13 (7.45).

Please note the HOME fixture with Blue Star is at Kingston Park ... not St James' Park.
