Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson is urging his Magpies' squad to put the Champions League disappointment behind them, and concentrate on the task ahead. Sir Bobby said: "Football is all about today, not yesterday. And this is another dawn for us. We have to look ahead, remain positive and accept that this (against Birmingham) is an important match.

"In those four years we have made remarkable progress and created massive expectations for the fans of Newcastle. We are not afraid of this. This is a massive club with a marvellous public - they crave success and this is what drives us on.

"We will keep our heads up and not crumble. We will bounce back because the players are strong enough to put Wednesday behind them.

"There will be no transfer activity here to my knowledge - we go with what we have!"
