ewcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini hopes the side will give their all for absent manager Joe Kinnear.[LNB] The Magpies manager is to undergo triple heart bypass surgery which will keep him away from the club for at least two months.[LNB]But the Argentine centre-back was inspired by Kinnear's admission to hospital last weekend and hopes Newcastle can carry the momentum into the season's crucial run-in.[LNB]"Beating West Brom was also important because we wanted to win for Joe Kinnear," Coloccini said.[LNB]"When somebody is out of action like that, you need to show that you remember them, and winning is our way of doing that."[LNB]FightThe 27-year-old believes that Newcastle can use the result to turn their season around and hopes the fighting spirit they showed at the Hawthorns will propel them to Premier League safety.[LNB]"Hopefully we will look back on that day at the end of the season and feel it was the turning point," he added.[LNB]"The other good thing is that we have had a break before the next game, so we can think about the errors we made as well.[LNB]"We know what wasn't good about the game and now we can train harder.[LNB]"We showed fight against West Brom. There were lots of goals, but we managed to emerge as the winners. Beating West Brom was very important for us.[LNB]"They are down there with us and we had to put some daylight between us. This can give us something to build on and we can now look forward."[LNB]
