Newcastle United fell to another defeat as Luton Town negotiated a 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road. This defeat leaves the Magpies with just one win in their last six matches, the rest being losses.
Luton’s Andros Townsend scored the only goal of the game coming in the first half, heading in at the back post after Ross Barkley flicked on a corner from Alfie Doughty. Newcastle applied pressure in search of an equaliser, but it was Rob Edwards’ team that came closest to adding to their lead.
First, Barkley hit the underside of the bar with a powerful 30-yard drive, and later, Jacob Brown did the same in the second half after a setup by Elijah Adebayo. Although Alexander Isak thought he had equalised, VAR ruled him offside. Edwards mentioned that his team aimed to win the game for their absent captain, who had been discharged from the hospital on Thursday.
PIF (Public Investment Fund), the owners of Newcastle United, are reportedly unhappy with manager Eddie Howe. The team’s recent loss to Luton, marking their fourth consecutive away defeat from St James’ Park, is expected to fuel speculation about Howe’s potential dismissal.
Howe also revealed in his post-game reaction: “We’ve spoken about it internally, we know how important away form is. We have to be consistent in home and away form. It epitomised our away form today, we didn’t compete well in the first half. We were reactive instead of proactive.”
The pressure on Howe has intensified as the team faces challenges in their away performances, and PIF’s dissatisfaction adds to the talk of a possible managerial change at Newcastle United.
Utter garbage
Wank shite
Big mistake if they sack Eddie. Will come back to bite you.
this story is rubbish Howe has took us from relegation fodder to champions league. we are playing with half a squad injured. write a proper story
Utter crap. Eddie and his team have been brilliant and will rise again. Stop peddling negative crap.
Is there now low you clickbait alleged supporters blogs will not sink to in your desperation to channel hits to your site. Who remembers the “Freddie Star ate my hamster” headline?
For God’s sake , half the team are injured . What a crock of shit this article is
Complete made up bollocks
Tosh!
Complete rubbish pedalled by media with an agenda not true fans. With 10 outfield players many carrying knocks playing every three days ….., get real and write with incite not venom
Your all just gealous again because we are inching closer to being a regular top 4. Should Pep be sacked and his mate across the street. Don’t be silly, do you here any other clubs fans singing after away defeats.
We don’t need a change of manager we need to change the playing staff and as we can’t do that overnight we have to be patient Rome wasn’t built in one day.take into account the horrendous amount of injuries we’ve endured and this season simply needs to be consigned to the history books . onwards and upwards for Eddie’s toon army
clickbait nonsense.

Stop this crap negative reporting bull.iam 60 and its been to many years since in my house I’ve been on edge .excited had hope.seen our true fans excited again.give him loads of time for .f.sake god bless our home fans .merry Xmas everyone keep the faith. Its coming boys and girls.
Need to back him in the transfer window good coach not much better anywhere.
Need to back him in the transfer window good coach not much better anywhere in the league probably over achieved in last season deserves more.
Big joke.!! Living here in Egypt, money does matter to the Saudis. BUT your telling me they know anything about football.??? Give Howe a break and please stop being so negative. Stress affects everyone and sadly the players will also be affected by all this negative talk. They aren’t stupid. Results matter. But please don’t do the typical Northern trait and praise and then crucify people. Newcastle had too busy a pre- season for a start before going into an intense period. Far too much expectation from a small squad. Calm down, take a step back and relieve the pressure. Merry Xmas everyone.
Eddie Howe has done well given his minimal experience. No manager in New Castle in past 20 has done better than him.Sacking him will be tantamount to the selfshooting in the foot.Injuries have contributed to mediocre performances. Nothing can be said to have been caused by Eddie Howe
Ya talking utter garbage give Eddie a chance the team is decimated by injuries, there isn’t many managers who would take on this chalice but Eddie stepped up brought in the right players & struck gold we need to back the man who saved the toon.
i thnk Howe has run his course and is obstinate with subs no good buying new players Thiers no guarantee in him playing them
He is a good manager and has done a good job so far with the injuries you have suffered be glad your not near the bottom as for won’t use subs why change something if you don’t have a player sat there who can change it having faith in players is a lost art with a lot of managers he will show loyalty yo players who time and again have given everything for him
