The former Liverpool midfielder has blown 'hot and cold' during his time on Tyneside and it is time for him to prove he has a future as a Premiership player.
Danny Guthrie: “I have had a frustrating season. It had been six weeks since I had played when we played Wolves, so it has been tough.
“It is always difficult to get into a game, let alone the pressure of this game like Wolves, but I was really pleased.
“Like anyone, I can only get better with games, and hopefully I can have a little run in the team now.
“It is strange how it works out – you are not involved for six weeks and then you could be looking at a run of two or three games.
“I was pleased to get 90 minutes. I felt good, and my sharpness and fitness can only improve.”
