"This week we’ve had a mix of emotions. There was anger after the Crystal Palace result and those emotions can be really positive if you use them right.
"There haven’t been too many smiling faces around the training ground, but there’s a feeling of steely determination to put it right.
“It’s been a strange year in terms of the Premier League table, it’s been very tight all season. We need a run of wins that we’ve needed all season. The biggest difference has been the lack of consistency."
With uncertainty surrounding several players’ futures - and his own - Howe said his priority remains Newcastle’s long-term interests.
“I just want to serve the club and do what’s right for the football club,” he said. “That’s always been my aim. If that’s me leaving to help the club, then of course that’s something I’ll do, I’ve got no issue doing that. It’s not about me. But if I believe I’m the right person to take the club forward, which I do currently right now, then I’ll do that and I’ll fight to the end.
