You suspect Eddie Howe has not necessarily missed the treadmill of news conferences.<\/p>\n

The Newcastle United head coach has been sitting down with
\nreporters every few days since the end of August.<\/p>\n

But it felt like this international break came at the right
\ntime. In more ways than one.<\/p>\n

As much as Newcastle would have wanted another game quickly,
\nafter suffering a damaging derby defeat against Sunderland last month, it has given
\nHowe and a number of his players a rare breather as well as some
\nmuch-needed training time.<\/p>\n

Newcastle, clearly, need to respond, starting with the trip
\nto Selhurst Park on Sunday, as they look to do what they have failed to do all
\nseason: go on a run.<\/p>\n

Chief executive David Hopkinson was certainly clear in declaring he
\nexpected a strong finish to the campaign last week.<\/p>\n

It is important to stress the hierarchy remain behind Howe, who ended the club\u2019s 70-year wait for a major domestic
\ntrophy by winning the EFL Cup last season and, also, led his side to Champions
\nLeague qualification in 2025 and 2023.<\/p>\n

But expect the Newcastle head coach to be asked about Hopkinson\u2019s comments and
\nwhat feels like a defining period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Howe to address chief executive’s commentspublished at 09:57 BST 09:57 BST Crystal Palace v Newcastle (Sun, 14:00 BST)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-575641","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
