Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini is back in the Newcastle starting line-up, for the Premier League clash against Bolton Wanderers this afternoon at St. James’ Park.
Fab coming in for Tiote is the only change to the side that won 2-0 at Swansea on Friday afternoon and racked up four wins in a row.
So it looks like Fabricio will partner Mike Williamson at the back, and James Perch, as expected, will fill in for Cheick Tiote in defesnive central midfield, and it looks a strong Newcastle side to take on Bolton Wanderers this afternoon.
It’s good that Yohan Cabaye is fit, after being taken off after 74 minutes on Friday in South Wales, presumably as a precaution.
For Bolton, both Davies start – Kevin is up front and captains the side, and Mark, who is rumored to be a Newcastle target in the summer, starts in central midfield for the Trotters.
If Newcastle can get the win this afternoon, it will be the first time since April of 2006 that Newcastle have won five league games in a row.
Howay The Lads!!

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Tim Krul; Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Davide Santon; Yohan Cabaye, James Perch, Jonas Gutierrez; Hatem Ben Arfa, Papiss Cisse, Demba Ba

Comment #83This season NUFC has really become alive and we’re gelling as a team superbly. The spirit Pardew has managed to retain and improve from since Hoots is impressive. We have seen improvement from all our players since Alan Pardew and look where we are already in his first full season in charge. No more are we in the front pages for the wrong reason and long may it continue. We have bought quality and everyone is still scratching their heads as to how we captured gems no one else could see. We are mugs no more in the transfer market and on the playing field either. We are all in it together and united we will be back in Europe were we belong because the sleeping giant that is Newcastle United has indeed awoken!
Now let’s win and bring us closer to Europe!

Comment #100We can’t play 442 — Jonas can’t cross & we don’t want HBA out wide on right.
433 is so much better.
