The Nigerian admits he loves the style of Kinnear's approach on the training pitch since the former Wimbledon manager took charge.

Martins says confidence is now high and the players are all working hard for the Irishman.

"What I like about him, is that he gives you all the confidence," Martins told Sky Sports News.

"He loves swearing a lot and I love it, as he doesn't care, he just wants us to play well and get three points.

"Now we have won the last game we want to continue like this."

Martins admits he would have few qualms should Kinnear be given the Newcastle job on a permanent basis.

"I think for me, I don't have a problem with him as he is doing his job," he said.

"The important thing is to win, and we as the players have to help him."
