00:00we do have another game at the weekend of course no midweek game this week
00:03it's probably a blessed relief for Newcastle given the bit of fatigue they
00:06were showing towards the end of that uh that Bournemouth game
00:09but if you were wanting to pick any game you'd like to bounce back in it would be
00:13against this week's end opposition in Southampton who are
00:17having a let's be honest dreadful season
00:19um they they go to St Mary's Newcastle on
00:23Saturday three o'clock kickoff and it's just one where
00:26they just have to really just go there no fuss
00:29no sort of issues just go and get the three points don't they
00:32absolutely yeah they don't have to they just a one nil win would be enough as you
00:36say just to get over that Bournemouth one and i'd say it's
00:39the perfect opponents we might look silly again
00:41saying this but it does feel like the right the right opponents they've got a
00:44good record a recent record of St Mary's as well
00:47and so yeah it's a game that they'll be happy with and they'll hope and then
00:51come back with three points and and yeah they need to i think
00:54it's weird because you say Saturday was a disastrous result
00:58but they've also if they win on Saturday against Southampton that's 10 wins in
01:0211 and now you know that's an incredible run for any any team so
01:06yeah if they can get back with a win on Saturday they'll be
01:08really happy they should do as i said Southampton haven't really done
01:11it and they give Man U a scare a little bit but
01:13who doesn't these days so yeah um it's it is a perfect
01:16game for them and hopefully they come back with three points and all they have
01:19to do really is just play like they have done for
01:21the last of the nine games forget Bournemouth
01:23i think put in a performance like they did against Wolves even they'll have
01:26too much quality for Southampton on the weekend i'm sure
01:29indeed i mean and to be fair to Southampton they did also give um
01:32Nottingham Forest a little bit of a fright towards the end of that game as
01:34well but for the most part that they're not a
01:37great side i think a lot of teams have exploited this this season
01:40and you also having had a full week to prepare
01:43you know they're not sort of in and out of games this week at all they've had a
01:47full week of training i think they've just got to go there and
01:50show their quality make sure they're fully rested and prepared for this game
01:54just go there and defeat a team who let's be honest
01:57on paper at least they should be defeating and should be put into the
02:00sword i know they play them at the start of
02:02the season and they only just about won 1-0
02:04having shot of course being sent off but in that game
02:08you also weren't really there was there was so there was still issues going
02:11around at the club at the time that's changed since then so it just has
02:14to be a game where they go out and get the job done and in
02:18his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to southampton anyhow
02:22made clear that miguel almiron will still be part of the squad
02:25with no further progress with the paraguayan wingers move
02:29back to the mls to atlanta united on the injury front
02:33nick pope is set to feature in some capacity away at the saints whether that
02:37be on the bench or in the starting lineup although
02:40callum wilson is not yet ready to make a return
02:43to competitive action with the striker instead planning to be available
02:47come the second leg of the league cup semi-final against
02:50arsenal at st james's park at the start of february
02:54newcastle though need to go to southampton and respond
