Captain for the night Obertan enjoyed a decent game and set up Adam Campbell for the Magpies equaliser against the Wanderers and Donachie was ecstatic with the Frenchman’s attitude and application.
We bring you a great new feature where you can vote each game for your man of the match, pick your top man v Bolton now and help give us the definitive top Newcastle player in Monday’s match.
After the Bolton match Alan Pardew was on top form in this post-match interview, I loved the cheeky smile he had on his face, reminded me of mine as I left St.James’ Park as I relived Ben Arfa’s wonder goal in my head.
With Cheick Tiote likely to be missing it leaves Alan Pardew to shuffle his pack again. Coloccini could return but my money is on the manager giving him the extra recovery time, so extra responsibility on Captain Jonas again.
