Routledge and Smith could be back for ‘Boro trip.

Routledge, 25, who has so far made a significant impression in his handful of games for the Magpies so far, picked up a strained calf in our 4-1 victory over Coventry City. Until then though, he seemed to have added some much needed balance on the right hand side since his arrival from QPR, though it can hardly be said that he hasn’t been desperately missed in the wake of some emphatic victories and excellent team performances since that time. Nontheless, it would be great to see him back to improve the squad even more.
Manager, Chris Hughton, confirmed today:
“Wayne will train on Thursday”
Then added with a slight note of caution:
“But we’ll have to further assess his condition then with regards to the weekend game”
It is also hoped that midfield attack dog, Alan Smith, may also be available for selection against the Smogmonsters after he missed our emphatic victory against the Tykes of Barnsley due to an ankle knock sustained in training.
i was considering going to this game but i’ve got a slight chest infection & going to this part of the country would make it 50 times worse so if it’s on the telly i’ll just watch it in the pub…….& if it’s not i’ll still be in the pub.
