Former Newcastle United star John Barnes believes Eddie Howe has got a "good harmony" within his squad, and believes the Magpies can challenge for the top six in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle started the season with a comfortable win over Nottingham Forest at St. James' Park last Saturday, with a wonder strike from Fabian Schar and a piece of brilliance from Callum Wilson was enough to down Steve Cooper's side.
And while the Magpies' fortunes have changed since their Saudi Arabian takeover was completed in October last year, Barnes insisted that his old side have got their confidence back, and that is crucial if they are to push for a top half finish.
