Kieran Trippier vowed that Newcastle would turn around a disappointing run of form to get to where they want to be by the end of the season.
The 35-year-old full-back acknowledged that a relentless schedule was taking its toll on the Magpies - they have played 11 games in 35 days in four different competitions since 4 January and will have negotiated 18 in 60 days by time the March international window comes around - but insisted there was no room for excuses.
