Titus Bramble has admitted he's still finding his feet at Newcastle and that the pressure is huge as a pose to Ipswich Town. The U-21 England International has not yet been able to hold down a regular place in the team though he believes when his chance does come he will take it with both hands. Bramble has said,

"It was difficult coming to a massive club like Newcastle from a club like Ipswich - I don't mind admitting that.

"There is a lot more attention paid to the team and everything you do is magnified. It's an entirely different type of pressure to what I'm used to.

"But that's not to say I can't cope with it. I'm still confident I'll be a success at Newcastle United and I'm not going to let anything change that.

"I'm confident in my ability and the manager is
confident in my ability, and those are the most important things."

Bramble has been kept out of the side by Nikos Dabizas and Andy O'Brien so far this season. However, he added:

"I'm not in the side at the moment but I'm not going to sulk about it. We are in so many competitions this season that I know my chance will come again.

"When it does, I'll take it."
