Steve Harper's warning to fellow Magpies
NEWCASTLE United may be leading the Championship promotion race - but Steve Harper knows there are still plenty of teams trying to trip them up as he delivered a stark reminder about the challenges lying in wait for them this season.
United will return to league action with a tough trip to a resurgent Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening with a healthy three-point lead at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship table. But, having failed to win either home game against QPR and Bristol City before the international break, Harper knows the chasing pack are far too close for anyone at St James's Park to be sitting comfortably.
The Magpies have, at times, looked a class above the rest of the Championship, although complacency and arrogance are a constant risk for a team which many still hope is set for another humiliating tumble after relegation from the Premier League.
