Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shaka Hislop believes Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse must rediscover their best form if the Magpies are to climb the Premier League table.

Alan Pardew's men have had an awful run of results, having won just one of their last 10 fixtures in all competitions.

That run of bad results includes a 2-1 loss to Fulham on Monday night where both strikers failed to show anything of last season's free-scoring attacking play.

And Hislop believes the pair must snap back into action if the north-east side are to kick-start their season.
