Howe Stresses Importance Of Next Two Weeks Before Planned Training Camp



Eddie Howe is confident Newcastle can put their struggles behind them against Wolves on Sunday. The head coach revealed during his press conference that he is satisfied with this week’s work ahead of the critical fixture saying:

“It’s been a good week in terms of delivery and intensity.

“We’ve been unlucky. I don’t believe in luck, because you create it yourself, but we’ve had an unlucky period when things have gone against us.

“Lots of things are tested behind the scenes on these runs. What is the culture of your group like? What is the culture around the training ground like? It’s a good test of that. So far, the players have come up with the right answers.”

Newcastle’s excellent first half of the campaign, in which they lost just once, has kept them in the Champions League discussion. They are currently sixth with some matches in hand on the clubs immediately above them.

A couple of wins before the international break could put Newcastle into stronger contention ahead of the final 12 fixtures of this match. Howe admitted that the turn around in results needs to happen quickly as he stated:

“Two big games (against Wolves and Nottingham Forest) because of where they are situated.

“We have the international break afterwards and we want to go into that break really in a good moment.

“We’re also running out of games. They are going to go so quickly, 14 left. We need points and we are determined to end this run of games we have had in a confident way.

“And we need to try and maximize every single one of those games and it’s still in our hands.”

Howe has also confirmed that the club plans to head back to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp during the break. These excursions have helped in the past and could again spur a late-season revival.

Howe said the following about the planned trip:

“That’s the plan. We’ll have quite a few players away so I think we’ll have quite a small group, but that is the plan as we currently stand.”

Howe’s full press conference can be watched in the YouTube video below.

    Yes, I think GL thought he was bullet proof and I suppose he’s the classic ‘we’ll make an example of him’ sending out ripples to any other throne makers.
    I think my brother Jake would be an excellent choice

    Alex Scott would be great. Gary Neville is a great pundit but not a great presenter in my mind.

    Jail, why not Saudi? Dubai is a better destination, much more relaxed, better for wags (if they come along), also I understand they’re staying at Jebal Ali, Arsenal have played there too, the facilities are better.
    Looking forward to seeing them.

    TfB – you’re possibly right about it being a poor comparison. Not that I think he’s wrong either but because of the connotations that it leads to.

    I won’t go down the rabbit hole of further political debate on this blog though. 🙂

    Alex Scott of Bristol City we are apparently looking at him. Only 19 and looking the business. He should not be considered for MoTD surely? 😉

    Alex Scott the woman ex professional footballer would be my second choice. Please no to Jenas. He has killed the One Show

    AP,

    I hurried that poem l posted earlier today and on reading it back I think it comes across as a bit OTT.

    I know I’m prone to writing piss taking rhymes but I think this one may have gone a bit far and l would like to apologise for that.

    I also know that you’ve been on the wind up recently but that’s no excuse for me to get too personal.

    Sorry.
