Butt backing for Shearer
Nicky Butt is confident Alan Shearer will guide Newcastle to Premier League safety. [LNB] Shearer saw his homecoming spoiled by Chelsea at the weekend to leave them third from bottom of the table and three points adrift of safety.[LNB]Former Manchester United man Butt believes Shearer's arrival has helped transform the dressing room and that he can help inspire a revival.[LNB]"Alan is one of those men who has charisma and an aura about him," Butt told the club's official website.[LNB]"He demands respect and he gets that the minute he walks in the changing room.[LNB]"The players are happy he's here and it's been an enjoyable start.[LNB]"He's been very upbeat and the whole town is on a high.[LNB]"Hopefully now he can help get us out of the trouble we're in and I'm confident that together we can do that."[LNB]PositivesButt believes Newcastle could take plenty of positives from the defeat to Chelsea and felt the Magpies were unlucky not to get anything from the game.[LNB]"We took the game to Chelsea, worked hard and snuffed out what they had to offer," added Butt.[LNB]"Unfortunately we couldn't create as many chances as we should have.[LNB]"Alan was very upbeat at half-time and said that we could win it.[LNB]"We had to kick on a bit in the second half but then they got a goal which was a bit lucky when it deflected before hitting the bar and coming out to Frank Lampard.[LNB]"To concede a second was again disappointing and we were down after the match because we thought we could have got something.[LNB]"But there are plenty of positives to work on because for an hour I thought we competed very well against one of the best sides in Europe."[LNB]
