Perhaps Andros Townsend would have made a difference for Newcastle United.
Rafa Benitez spent deadline day - and the entirety of January - urging the club's hierarchy to re-sign their former winger from Crystal Palace.
They did not and, on Wednesday night, Benitez's team wore a tired and predictable look. In short, they looked in need of the fresh blood their manager craved. The Spaniard, pointedly, said he was 'surprised' by the club's failure to make a single signing last month.
Newcastle, though, were within a few minutes of returning to the top of the Championship.
