Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce isn't panicking about Fulham's sudden form surge.

Scott Parker was bullish about Fulham's prospects of reeling in the Magpies after collecting a point at Turf Moor on Wednesday, but Bruce perhaps pointedly revealed his side would studiously concentrate on the task at hand.

“Let's see where we are at the end of the season," Bruce said. “It's the accumulation of points that you get at the end of the season and that will never change.

Fulham have obviously closed the gap a bit but they're still struggling to win as well, they've only won one in the last 14 games. It's all to play for.

“We know we're in the bottom half of the division which means we have to get to the figure as quick as we possibly can.

“You've got to quietly get about your job and get the points on the board and that's what we'll be trying to achieve."
