da wazamba： Newcastle fans might have been cursing Martin Dubravka for his late blunder in their 1-1 draw with Wolves last time out – the ‘keeper lost out to Willy Boly in the air and the Frenchman nodded home from close range – but the Slovakian’s error was not enough to prevent him from being named North East Football Writers’ Player of the Year on Sunday.
The 30-year-old moved to St James’ Park on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018 and a string of impressive performance saw him nail down a starting spot and a permanent switch in the summer, as Magpies chiefs moved quickly to ensure the stopper remained on Tyneside.
Having made 26 Premier League appearances for Newcastle this season, the custodian has looked a fantastic buy but a string of error-strewn showings have led to some negative reaction on social media, the Wolves clash being the latest of which.

Dubravka had this to say on receiving the award:
“It’s amazing, I couldn’t believe it.
“I got the message that I won this trophy and I couldn’t believe that, because I spent an amazing year here, but it is the first year, you know.
“It is an honour for me to be part of this great history and I know that fantastic players won this trophy before me, so I am very pleased with that.”
