Keegan insists Newcastle cannot afford to relax

Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan insists they're still not safe, despite their 4-1 win at Tottenham.

"We're definitely not safe yet but we can look up not down," Keegan said. "We could catch Spurs up and we could catch up West Ham. People would have said that was ridiculous a few weeks ago.

"We have three home games and three away left and playing like this, I think the players will look forward to playing anybody."

Newcastle have now recorded back-to-back wins, with Keegan seeing enough to suggest there may not be the need for radical changes to the squad in the summer.

"I'm saying to the staff that if we can add little bits to this it could be quite exciting," he added. "There is quite a lot here. Sometimes it gets lost when you are on a bad run.

"When they play like that you think we don't need an awful lot to set us alight, just two or three. And the players would welcome that. They will have to be very good players to better us."
