Matt Targett has revealed the motto Eddie Howe insists on drilling into the Newcastle United players each day. The training regime on Tyneside has become a hot topic since the former Bournemouth boss’ appointment, with Jonjo Shelvey admitting he fell asleep at 8pm every night in the immediate aftermath of Howe's arrival.
Supporters have also been wowed when training footage has emerged from the club’s media channel. Endeavour and meticulousness are themes that have stuck with the 44-year-old throughout his managerial career and that blueprint has worked to great effect so far at Newcastle.
On-loan defender Targett has embodied Howe’s philosophy since arriving in January. The left-back has started all but one game - the fixture against parent club Aston Villa - and supporters are already calling for his move to be made permanent.
