Eddie Howe has stressed he's not yet 'happy' because the Newcastle United head coach wants to get even more out of a 'very talented' group of players.
There is a lot of work to do yet, of course, but Howe has guided Newcastle to 14th place after previously taking charge of a side who were without a win back in November. To put that recent turnaround into perspective. Newcastle have gone seven games unbeaten in the top-flight for the first time since 2011.
While Newcastle spent more than £90m on new signings last month, perhaps, what has been most striking about recent results is how so many players who were already at the club have improved under Howe. Joelinton, Fabian Schar, Ryan Fraser, Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Willock are just some of the survivors from the Ashley era who have looked different players in recent weeks - much to Howe's delight.
