Newcastle United legend Nobby Solano says the "connection" between the supporters and Eddie Howe's team could prove to be one of the biggest weapons for the Magpies going into the new season.
Toon players will be back at the training ground and in pre-season in the next few days with fans looking forward to the season opener against Aston Villa on August 12. Solano feels that both of the first two home games, as tough as they look on paper, against Unai Emery's Villa and the meeting with Jurgen Klopp's strengthened Liverpool side, are still a big chance to get six points and set the tone for the season.
Solano told Chronicle Live: "I think for all people look at the fixture list in the first four games, there's still a chance to take six points from the first two home games - simply because of the fans.
