Newcastle form in promotion-winning campaign
The Toon blew away their Championship opponents under Benitez last season to finish above Brighton at the top of the Championship, as they coped with the pressure perfectly.
Remaining consistent throughout, Darlow was a huge part of the side as he kept 15 clean sheets in 36 league and cup appearances for the Toon, conceding only 32 goals.
That kind of form in a league as hotly contested as the Championship is impeccable, and a move to the Scottish Premiership would see Darlow double that figure if he was given the number one shirt.
