Eddie Howe has warned that patience will be the watchword when Newcastle United take on Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Magpies dominated the game in their last visit to London to take on the Bees but Howe is not expecting any type of cakewalk in the capital this time around. In fact, he expects Brentford to be a completely different type of occasion to West Ham who were beaten with relative ease in the second half as they capitulated in front of a crowd of 62,470.

Howe issued a warning that the two London games are highly unlikely to be similar. The Toon head coach was asked if it would be a different challenge against Brentford.
The United boss said: "Yes, I do because we felt here that if we could get the first goal, it would help us, naturally with the crowd and the difficult situation West Ham are in.
"Brentford are in a totally different position, the feel of the stadium will be different, the reactions of the crowd will be different. We have to be prepared. Their style of play is very strong, so it's a totally unique test."
The encounter against Brentford is also the second of three consecutive away matches in the Premier League for the Magpies. They picked up a maximum haul at West Ham and now face Brentford then Aston Villa next weekend.
Howe said: "It's difficult for me to look at it like that. Now we're looking at Brentford. Aston Villa will be a totally unique challenge, a really tough one because they're doing brilliantly at the moment.
"But Brentford is going to be hard enough, so I don't think we look at it as a block of games or a group of games. Three away games is quite unique and it's a different thing, but it doesn't really change how we prepare for each one."
