Winning a trophy has to be the aim for Newcastle United according to Charlie Adam. The Magpies have not won a domestic cup since their 1954-55 FA Cup win over Manchester City.
Eddie Howe has spoken of his ambition to write his own chapter in Newcastle's history and the Carabao Cup could prove the best avenue for success. The Toon second string came from behind to beat League Two side Tranmere Rovers and tee up a third round tie with Crystal Palace.
Speaking to BBC 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Adam said: "It's very difficult to win silverware, over the last few years it's been the big two that have won it, apart from Leicester who won a trophy. I think that has got to be the ambition for a club like Newcastle where they've got to go and try and get a trophy.
