Robson wants his Magpies flying again

BOBBY ROBSON has admitted that his Newcastle side need to rediscover their dazzling fluency if they are to make their dreams come true this season.

United have lost just two of the last 20 games in all competitions, but at times have found the going tough and have had to grind out results to climb into the top four in the Barclaycard Premiership, and maintain their interest in the UEFA Cup.

Robson’s men continue their European campaign with the first leg of their UEFA Cup fourth round clash with Real Mallorca at St James’ Park tonight, and while the 71-year-old knows that they have not been in top form recently, he is confident the foundation is there and there is much more to come.
