Dirty Newcastle v Wolves preview

How good would a win at St James Park feel come Saturday evening?

It would probably see us go out of the relegation places, drag Newcastle into the relegation battle and two fingers up to those poor fragile sensitive Newcastle souls who were so upset after our game at Molineux.

Match of the Day's editing that night affected our season for a while after they highlighted strong tackles on Barton. The period where we were labelled dirty produced our worst period of form but we are pulling ourselves out of it now. Look at the fair play league and decide for yourselves who the dirtier team is.

I do however think that that saga will be our advantage tomorrow. We have nothing to lose, but Newcastle are in a dangerous position with one win in ten and very likely to play in an aggressive nature. Hopefully, they will be more intent on kicking our players instead of using their talented players. Barton and Nolan in particular have been impressive this season, as much as I dislike them although recently Barton's excellent crossing ability has been of little use since the departure of £35 million man Andy Carroll.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is set to start tomorrow, and although the loss of Kevin Doyle is huge I'm confident that Sylvan can produce the goods. He may not be as clever, or as good at holding the ball up but he is a top class finisher and he will get in good positions. Doyle does a massive amount of work outside the box, though sometimes we need someone to get in the box and Sylvan can do this.

With a trio of Henry, O'Hara and Milijas up against a likely two man midfield for Newcastle, I can see us winning the midfield battle and ultimately the game.

2-1 Wolves, our number nine with a brace.

If you are going, have a great time and roar on the lads.
