brilliance immediately if you lose the flow and you're not getting games and then you get a start and you're under pressure to deliver sometimes that doesn't always work out what he needs is a little bit of running game he's not going to get them now the games are run out there's only two games left but I wouldn't lose hope for Newcastle supporters that he's not going to do something decent next season From Forrest's perspective battling back to get a point today brings him seven points clear of safety we're speaking of course before West Ham

Yeah, he has.

There's no doubt about that.

I mean, he came in in position last year.

He went to the Wolves and helped to save them.

But then this season didn't start for him at Wolves and he was gone out of there.

He was hanging about.

And as you say, they took it.

He had a history with Maranacos.

He had worked at Olympiacos before and had some success there.

So they obviously had a relationship.

But he has done a good job.

He's getting good, consistent performance out of them.

They've stopped leaking a lot of goals, which they had been leaking.

And they've had injuries, they've had to contend with a lot of injuries as well, still have a good few players out.

But they've had plenty of good players in the squad.

There's been no lack of spending by Maranacos in terms of recruitment of players.

I kind of thought they'd got too many players at times and it didn't allow the managers, the various managers to...

settle on the team.

I imagine with his involvement, he was probably in their ear telling them, you need to play this guy.
