Nolan’s pledge to start new run

11 February 2010 09:17
KEVIN NOLAN believes the best way Newcastle can get over seeing their 15-game unbeaten run end is by producing another one, starting at Swansea on Saturday.[LNB] The Magpies lost in the league for the first time since October at Derby on Tuesday night, crashing to their worst defeat of the campaign.[LNB] Nolan revealed the players had convened as a group immediately after the 3-0 reverse at Pride Park, determined to put things right at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.[LNB] We knew there was going to be a low before the end of the season and the Derby game was it. Hopefully we are not going to have too many more,[LNB] said Nolan.[LNB] We've got to make sure we respond to it, that's what's been said as a group. We need a reaction, we want a reaction and that is what we intend to give against Swansea on Saturday.[LNB] The good thing about this league is you don't have to wait long to get it out of your system.[LNB] We've got three days to make sure we do the job we should do away from home.[LNB] Despite their impressive run prior to Tuesday, Newcastle have failed to win in six games away from St James' Park.[LNB] They will be boosted by the return of defender Fabricio Coloccini on Saturday, and Nolan believes the Magpies are the victims of their own success this season on their travels.[LNB] Nolan said: We know things are always going to be tough for us when we're playing away. Everyone raises their game against us and that's because we are Newcastle United and we bring at least 3,000 fans wherever you go.[LNB] We were so sorry for the fans who travelled on Tuesday night because the performance wasn't good enough from start to finish.[LNB] We must remember, from now until the end of the season, we have to stick together and do whatever it takes to get us back into the Premier League.[LNB]
