Eddie Howe's side needed to win after Sunday's ignominy on Wearside, and they did. They really had no alternative

NEWCASTLE are considering recalling Matt Targett from loan at Middlesbrough as Eddie Howe’s defensive nightmare worsened. The Mags only had three fit senior defenders available for the Carabao Cup

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has admitted that he is 'unsure' about his squad's 'mentality' amid a miserable run away from home. The Magpies have won just one away Premier League fixture since mid-April and their latest derby loss to Sunderland last weekend further rubbed salt into their wounds.

Eddie Howe was pleased to see Lewis Miley “rewarded” with a match-winning goal as Newcastle clinched a 2-1 Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Fulham. Yoane Wissa opened his account for the Tynesiders in the 10th minute, but Sasa Lukic headed the Cottagers level six minutes later.

Yoane Wissa marked his long awaited first start for the club by opening the scoring before Sasa Lukic, just as he did in the Premier League fixture between these two sides earlier this season, equalised for the visitors.

One would be hard pressed to find a German footballer who had a better 2025 calendar year than current Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade. When 2025 began, the now 23-year-old wasn’t even on VfB

The reality is that all managers leave eventually but with Newcastle United, Eddie Howe will join the 1% club.
