Hughton hails on-the-pitch unity
Chris Hughton has praised the way in which his Newcastle players have bonded together despite the ongoing chaos off the pitch.[LNB]The Magpies went into the international break sitting at the top of the Championship table despite seeing 12 players leave the club and only two arrive in the wake of relegation, and Hughton has sensed a unity and a determination to drag the club back into the top flight among those who remain.[LNB]He said: "There's certainly a togetherness in this group of lads. We experienced a fair amount in pre-season with what was going on at the club.[LNB]"Every single day, it was a different player that was going to be sold, and amongst all that, they realised all they could do was get on with the job at hand.[LNB]"If they don't have a big desire to get this club back into the Premier League, it is going to making it doubly difficult, and that's what they have done.[LNB]"They have got on with it, they have trained very, very well and it has become quite a tight group and a really determined group."
