Coloccini: Six more points should be enough
Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini has challenged his team-mates to collect another six points as quickly as possibly to confirm their Barclays Premier League status.
The Magpies sit 11th place in the table but just four points clear of the drop zone after a run of three games which has yielded just one point.
Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Stoke left them in little doubt they still have a significant amount of work to do before their season's mission is complete and they will head into next weekend's home clash with Wolves knowing a win could be vital.
Coloccini told The Journal: "The table has become very close and after everything that happened at Stoke, the Wolves game is a very important game for us now.
"I think we need two more wins to make sure we are safe. Looking at the table, five or six more points will probably do it, so we still need two wins.
"There are plenty of games to get them from but it would be a massive help if we could get one of those wins against Wolves. It would be best if we could get the points we need quickly because that would calm everybody's nerves. Our only job is to make sure we keep ourselves safe. As long as we do that, we can then start to think about the future."
