Nolan eyes back-to-back wins

Newcastle midfielder Kevin Nolan is calling for more of the same as the Magpies attempt to drag themselves to the brink of Barclays Premier League safety. Alan Shearer's men gave themselves a real chance of staving off the prospect of relegation with Monday night's morale-boosting 3-1 derby victory over Middlesbrough. A second successive home win over Fulham on Saturday, coupled with defeat for Hull at Nolan's former club Bolton, would all but end Newcastle's fears of slipping into the Coca-Cola Championship because of their superior goal difference. Anything less could open the door once again for Tigers and possibly Boro and even West Brom, and that will be the motivation on another huge day at St James' Park. Nolan said: "It's about this club being in the best league in the world. "This club deserves to be in the league, and we all believe, come Saturday, we will put another performance in like we did [against Boro] and we will get the result we need."
