Alan Pardew, had impressed him shortly after taking charge of Newcastle United.

Joey Barton added: "He was conscious not to make too many significant changes to what we do, which I think was the best way. He hasn't rocked the boat too early. Obviously, he's a manager with his own way of doing things and he
will try and filter that through to the players in the coming weeks and months, but at the moment he tweaked a couple of things he'd seen and thought from afar. We've got to keep looking upwards and stick together as a dressing room and as a football club.
We've got a decent team when everyone's fit, and we could surprise a few."
