Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul is in no mood to be patted on the back as he and his team-mates continue to defy their doubters.
The Magpies climbed to fifth place in the Premier League table as a result of a hard-fought victory over Blackburn at Ewood Park on Wednesday night.
Krul, whose penalty save from David Dunn proved crucial, is thrilled to see the men from Tyneside continuing to confound their critics.
However, despite having seen his club defy suggestions their fine start to the season would prove something of a flash in the pan, the 23-year-old Dutchman is refusing to sit back and enjoy himself.
Krul said: "We really want to push on for the second half of the season because we are up there and the chance is there.
"We really have to push on. I don't think we should rest on our laurels, we just have to really crack on now.
"We have got a fantastic squad and if we can prove we are a top-six team at the end of the season, that will attract more players to the club and then we can really push on."
