Kinnear keen to keep forward focus
The 61-year-old heads into tomorrow’s clash with former club Tottenham determined not to be forced into a cautious approach after seeing his side leak costly late goals in each of their last two games at St James’ Park.
Both Wigan and Stoke left the north-east with a point after Magpies old boys Titus Bramble and Abdoulaye Faye scored last-gasp equalisers, depriving their former employers of four points which would have left them eighth.
