It's time to get tough Feb 28 2007 By Luke Edwards, The Journal 　　Scott Parker has told his Newcastle United team-mates to forget about qualifying for Europe next season if they do not develop a tougher edge away from St James's Park. 　　United's 1-0 defeat at Wigan on Sunday leaves the Magpies seven points behind sixth-placed Reading with 10 games left to play. And, while nobody as St James's Park has given up on securing European qualification via the League, Parker knows they must improve on the road. Glenn Roeder's men have slipped to defeat in their last two Premiership away games following two insipid performances against Fulham and Wigan. 经过作客两连败後，新堡目前余下十场比赛，落後第六位的柳丁七分 由於第六名可获欧协盃参赛资格，所以余下比赛真是分分必争 队长就说了，如果不改善作客表现，就不用想可以参加明年的欧洲赛事。 当然大家都想新堡能够出现在欧洲赛事 (别忘了新堡是本季欧协盃头号种子啊 XDDD) 　　And with trips to Watford, Sheffield United and Reading to come this season, Newcastle's captain is looking for a steelier edge to their game away from home comforts. 　　Newcastle have not lost at home in the League since the season's nadir, the 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United on November 4, but they have managed just three away wins over the course of the campaign and the second-half performance at the JJB Stadium at the weekend was as bad as they have produced all season. 根据赛程，新堡只剩下三场作客赛事，分别是万年炉主、雪菲联、柳丁 至於主场，对上一次败仗已是最低潮时输雪菲联(问题是雪菲联本季作客只曾三胜) 　　That result was enough for Parker to issue a stark warning about their prospects of a top-six finish if they do not psyche themselves up for a fight against the top flight's strugglers. 　　"We've got a few games like the Wigan one before the end of the season and we need to make sure we improve," said Parker, one of the few players who matched the Latics' work ethic on Sunday. "People will look at the fixture list and think they are easy games because they aren't against so-called top teams, but they won't be anything of the sort. 　　"It's these sorts of games which define a season. It's easy to get your- self up for games against Liverpool and Manchester United, but it's the games against the likes of Wigan, Watford and Sheffield United which will make or break your season. 队长警告队友不会对实力较弱的对手轻敌，必须全力以付 新堡既曾主场对红军和红魔打出代表作 也作客对威根和主场对雪菲联时踢得不知所云 　　"These teams are scrapping for their lives and you have to stand up and be counted. It's easy to do that at home, but we need to do it more away from St James's Park. 为什麽不能轻敌，因为他们也在为保级拼命啊！ 他们主场全力争胜就是取分的最好途径。 　　"If we're going to have any hope of getting into Europe, we will have to play a lot better than we did at Wigan. The bottom line is we're going to have to win away games if we're going to finish in the top six, because we can't just rely on our excellent home form." 　　Parker's own form has been disrupted by a series of niggling injuries in 2007, but United's captain still epitomises the sort of spirit and commitment that is going to be needed if Newcastle are going to make another late run into the European places. 踏入07年，Parker一直受连串伤患影响，表现不及上半赛季好 但他仍然以身作则，打好每一场比赛 　　And that is why the former Chelsea star was so frustrated by the surrender to a Wigan side who Newcastle - on paper and man for man - should have been too good for. 所以他才在球队输给威根後那麽 Orz 　　"It was a very disappointing game for us at Wigan, although we deserved to get something out of the game because we had a lot of chances in the first half," said Parker, who has recovered from the slight hamstring injury which kept him out of Newcastle's Uefa Cup games against SV Zulte-Waregem. 　　"We missed a penalty when we should have put the game to bed, but we didn't play well in the second half and we fell into their trap. We knew what sort of game it was going to be, we knew it was going to be a difficult game physically, but we didn't handle the conditions well, especially in the second half. 　　"They didn't produce anything that was special but they got their goal and hung on." -- 希望你的状态能升回季初的勇态!!! --
