Newcastle head into this weekends home game against Bolton surely with an eye still on European qualification. Bolton currently sit 8th in the Premiership one point above Newcastle meaning a win would see the Geordies leapfrog the Trotters.
This show remarkable progress for Newcastle United who's sole aim was to avoid an immediate return to the the Championship. Great early season form has seen our ambitions change and now we realistically have a shot at finishing 7th this season.
I see this being a close game between two solid teams, however the home advantage should see Newcastle pick up all 3 points. Jose Enrique and Jonas attacking down the left flank should prove too strong for Bolton and with Leon Best in the goal scoring form of his life I am going to predict a 2-1 win for Newcastle with goals from Leon Best and Kevin Nolan.
