Eddie Howe's answer when asked what represents a successful season for Newcastle after cup blow

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has he will only set a target of "a positive ending" to the season for the Magpies - and does not want to burden his players with the pressure of any particular aim.

Howe says his squad must now put their Carabao Cup final defeat at Wembley against Manchester United firmly behind them. When asked what would represent for Newcastle - after an 11th place finish last term - Howe opted against discussing Champions League credentials or even Europa League or Europa Conference League spots.

Howe told Chronicle Live: "Difficult question to answer. What would that look like for us I don't know. We have 15 games left we want to try to win as many as we can and see where we finish.
