Dean Smith: “Scott Hogan’s buttock is fine…I will speak to him tomorrow morning and see how he is (mentally).”

With 14 of their 32 goals and scoring in 6 of their 9 wins, the absence of Scott Hogan would/will be a massive help to Newcastle United.

For you anoraks out there, you will no doubt have registered Halifax Town and Stocksbridge Park Steels…the biggest threat to Newcastle is surely the new Jamie Vardy.
