Despite scoring four in four games, writer James Brown says only now are Newcastle fans set to see the real Dwight Gayle.

When it was announced both Jonjo Shelvey and Mitro had been left on the bench, I wasn’t the only one wondering.

If it is too little too late and Rafa fails, he will be out of the Newcastle United exit door faster than we can say ‘Championship’, leaving behind a great big Joe Kinnear sized hole for someone to fill.

I can’t remember the last time Newcastle United had a starting line-up that didn’t contain at least three lazy, good for nothing wasters.

Come the final whistle and we might be about to ‘do a Sunderland’ and sack a manager just in time for the derby…

If they are happy to stick with what we’ve got come the summer, then they are both idiots that know nothing about football and we had better start planning away days to Sheffield Wednesday.

Despite all that, I can’t help desperately wanting to believe that things are finally on the up for Newcastle United.

Papiss Cisse has never been worthy of wearing our number 9 shirt regardless of his occasional hot streak in front of goal.

Biggest problem Newcastle United have, is lacking quality midfield partnership to play two in middle without compromising defence and control of possession.

Newcastle United will still be the same club, in the same place, wearing the same black and white stripes.
