'I want more points' - Eddie Howe 'not happy' with Newcastle start to the season after latest draw

Most Newcastle United managers in years gone by would be thrilled with a start to the season that saw the Magpies lose just once in their opening six games. But Eddie Howe admits he's 'not happy' with the fact his side have drawn four games so far this term.

Newcastle enjoyed the the lion's share of chances at St. James' Park during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace but failed to make the Eagles pay. The draw follows other frustrating clashes with Brighton and Wolves, along with the late defeat at Anfield earlier this week.

When asked if he was happy with Newcastle's start to the season, Howe admitted he is desperate for the club to start turning draws into wins after a tricky set of fixtures in recent weeks. "No, I'm not happy with it. I want more points. I want to win every game," he said.
