You know, you look at...

I want to imagine Andy Carroll on the end of that.

That would be in the back of the net.

He does great here, going down the side.

But again, he just flatters to deceive when he gets in front of goal.

I think that's the one thing.

He just needs that confidence in scoring that first goal.

I think the floodgates will open for him.

Yeah, for me, you know, he's explosive.

You know, when he came, obviously he got injured early on in pre-season, came back, got injured again at Tottenham.

But you can see every time he gets the ball, he's positive with it.

And, you know, he really lifted the team when he came onto the pitch.

And I know he's a guy that Steve Bruce will want fit and ready to go, because he can create chances.

You can see with the way he plays, he wants to score goals, but he also can create.

And I think he's the sort of player that we need to be really playing well.

I think Steve Bruce said it when he first got the job, you know,

he's going to live and die on the strikers and the fact that you know how can we score enough goals to keep us in the premiership and I think and that's the you know that's the question that you know every manager wants to ask and Steve Booth is doing all he can obviously the introduction of Andy Carroll now you've still got Dwight Gill to come back in who's a finisher so there are strikers in there I just hope we can get them fit enough and for long enough so we can you know create chances and score goals

I mentioned at the top of the game, obviously, our home form is going to be important here for Newcastle.

Obviously, it's something that we're all keen for the team to get that first win at home.

We know in the Premier League, if you win a game, the confidence that comes from that.
