Sneak a win, anyway possible and get to the international break please! Need those 2 weeks R&R for the squad at present. Isak, Bruno and possibly Botman back and we will be looking a lot better. Wilson's hammy's could do with a break by the sounds of it also! After that we just need to manage the squad through to January (10 games - 7 league, 2 CL and LC-QF) and get some cover in. Spine needs shaping up in Jan for me, CB, CM, CF cover. If we are out of Europe by then probably less important.
Think Barnes (toe) and Anderson (stress fracture) are New Year jobbies. Murphy will need surgery so Howe's suggested 3 months (New Years again). Krafth coming back in will be handy but if Botman is back he's probably a fringe player as opposed to rotation as Tino's ahead of him now but Botman apparently is likely to be back mid December so could play his part in the League Cup - but he's not registered for the CL... Burn's suggested date is January as well and Target has no return date yet. https://www.premierinjuries.com/teams/newcastle-united

What people say and what they really think are different things. He'll be keen to replace the sub standard players quickly as he knows he's got very few seasons left.
