Steven Taylor pleased with Coloccini partnership
STEVEN Taylor's growing understanding with Fabricio Coloccini is helping Newcastle United to "win ugly" - something which the 23-year-old hopes they continue to make a habit of this season.
The Magpies' latest 1-0 victory - at Preston North End on Monday - was far from a classic.
But a ninth clean sheet this term highlighted their new-found solidity. Taylor puts that down to a settled combination at the back, and singled out his much-maligned central defensive partner Coloccini for praise. "Preston threw a few different types of strikers at us, but I thought we dealt with them really well," commented Taylor. "I thought the defence was fantastic. Jose (Enrique) and Danny (Simpson) did really well, and I feel I've got a really good understanding with Coloccini at the minute.
