Mental strength is key to success says Hughton
CHRIS Hughton is convinced Newcastle United have the mental strength, as well as the ability, to win promotion as he shrugged off the growing concern surrounding the quality of his team's performances since Christmas.
Newcastle have stuttered their way through January without producing a convincing display to back up their promotion credentials and have enjoyed just one league victory since December 20 even though their unbeaten record has been stretched to 14 matches.
With West Bromwich Albion winning 3-2 at Blackpool on Wednesday night, United's lead over third place has been slashed to just four points, and they desperately need a win against in-form Cardiff City - and their former Newcastle striker Michael Chopra - tonight to settle any nerves.
