Manager Eddie Howe has been praised for his work in helping two Newcastle players rediscover their form during his tenure at St James’ Park.
The 44-year-old orchestrated a nine-game unbeaten league run, which included six wins, prior to their three latest defeats. As a result the Magpies are now tipped to beat the drop, currently sitting nine points above the relegation zone.
However, Howe will know the job is far from done with eight games of the campaign left to go. Nevertheless, former Arsenal Invincible title-winning defender Martin Keown has praised the work he has done on Tyneside since his arrival in November.
