Despite being dropped recently by Alan Pardew fit again Newcastle defender Steven Taylor is ready to step up when needed and help his side battle to avoid relegation.

Sol Campbell was selected ahead of Taylor in the Magpies’ last match at Stoke where they were thrashed 4-0, leaving the north east side only four points above the relegation zone.

Taylor told The Chronicle: “I’m fit for selection. I’m just waiting for my chance – it’s as simple as that.

“Every game, you have to see what side the gaffer picks. That’s all I can do.

“We can’t get carried away. We’ve got to knuckle down and take it a game at a time.

“We have to be ready for a battle, because it’s coming towards the end of the season.”

Newcastle’s next game is against Wolverhampton Wanderers-who are third from bottom- after the internation break and Taylor knows it wont be easy.

“It’s going to be tough against Wolves. They’re getting some good results, and we can’t treat them lightly, even though it’s at St James’ Park,” he added.

“We have to sort our home form out. Hopefully, we’ll be OK.

“We’ll take it one game at a time. All we’re thinking of is getting three more points on the board.”
