Toon Army in town Saturday lunch time.

Bobby Robson brings his in-form Newcastle United to the Molineux on Saturday. After a poor start to the season, Newcastle are now up to sixth place and very much in the groove.

The main man behind this recovery is the prolific Alan Shearer. Once again he’s belied the critics waiting to write him off and is currently the top scorer in the Premiership with 11 goals from 12 games. Let’s hope that he doesn’t manage to add to his tally on Saturday.

Missing from the line up is our mate Craig Bellamy. How I’d have loved one of our players to have kissed the Premiership badge, right in front of his weasely face, but we’ll have to wait until St.James’s Park now for the opportunity.

However, Sheola Ameobi is looking pretty good himself and both forwards will test Craddock and Butler to the full.

What must play into our hands is the timing of the fixture. With Newcastle having played Basle last night there is very little time for them to recover, travel down to the Midlands and then play at lunchtime. Apparently, this was an oversight as Newcastle were expecting to have qualified for the Champions League group stages and therefore, didn’t expect to need the extra days break.

As for ourselves well in my opinion we can’t play any poorer than we did at Everton. Jones has got to re-iterate to the players the need to harass the opposition whenever they are in possession.

For me we always open brightly but seem to fade after 15 minutes. Therefore, an early goal against a sleepy United would give us an ideal platform from which to go on from.

It seems as though we are going to be missing Colin Cameron once again, which is a real loss as he’s the only midfielder who looks like scoring. As to if Jones will stick with 4-5-1 or go 4-4-2 I can’t say.

Although the game was already lost at Everton the introduction of Miller and Blake didn’t really make much difference. However, Miller’s wide runs did open the middle up for someone supporting from midfield.

We have a good record against the Mags who see us as a jinx side. They won’t have forgotten what happened last January and will be trying to keep going their good run.

It’s more bad news on the injury front this week with the loss for a further three months of George Ndah. At the time of the F.A cup fixture he was on fire and his pace would give us something we don’t have at the moment with our fit strikers.

The pundits are all tipping an away win so it would be nice to upset the odds and grab a vital third home victory.

I feel that if we lose this one then a mini-gap is going to start to appear between us and fourth from bottom.

Also house pride is at stake for me as my flatmate is a Geordie, who I’m giving a lift to the game with. If we lose then he may forget the fact that I didn’t gloat when we won in January and make the trip back up the M6 longer than it already is!

When we won 3-2 in the cup it was the start of a purple patch we could do with something similar tomorrow.

However, I feel that my mate will have his day but you live in hope!

Come on the Wolves!
