Rafa Benitez has told Newcastle United’s supporters to forget about their previous problems at St James’ Park because if they win their final five home matches they will be back in the Premier League.
The Magpies have fared better on the road this season and have lost five times in front of their own fans, who were far from happy during the 3-1 defeat to Fulham last time out.
But with five of Newcastle’s eight remaining matches coming on Tyneside - starting with Saturday’s visit of Wigan - Benitez says it is time to push the Championship leaders over the finishing line.
