How stay focused? Scale of the games, not difficult to keep players focused, particularly with so few players available. People aren't looking too far ahead, not at their own futures, on task in hand.
Not difficult to keep players motivated. How many would have played at St James' Park? First season in Premier League for many of them. No difficulty keeping them motivated. Big, big game, players looking forward to it, know it's going to be a big test. | | | |

Clear it's getting harder and harder for promoted clubs to stay in PL. Gap from a financial perspective getting bigger, harder for clubs to bridge that. We've had a double jump, so different scale for us. Leeds and Burnley only one or two years out, but will still be a challenge. Not impossible, even for us, some margins going our way in first half of the season, then could look very different. Not impossible but very difficult, we needed everything to go right for us. | | | |

We've reflected on 27 points dropped from winning positions. Getting into that position is a reflection of a lot of good work. IN half-time league table we'd be in a position we'd be delighted with. That we've not been able to hold onto leads is an area which shows the gap. The financial gap means teams have bench full of internationals. Physicality required to get to leading position means we're going to tire more quickly against players more used to playing at the level. There's the experience of playing together and the challenge of the Premier League, that's more tied to other challenges. No quick or easy answer to any problem we have, that we've competed in so many games is a reflection of a lot of positive work but disappointment that we've not held on in games. | | | |

Delap future away from Town? Not where our focus is, not where Liam's is. Newcastle is a great game for him and he's looking forward to it. If any player is putting mental energy into their future, then not on the game ahead. | | | |

Kieran future at Town? Yes, that's where my future is. I've already answered that question and nothing's changed. In a project which has been an incredible journey. Going to take a step back this year, but often how progression can happen, but focus 100 per cent on next year. | | | |

Eddie Howe, spent time with him in the summer, great journey, anyone who wants to see homegrown managers do well will have been pleased to see him lift trophy. Glad to see he's back training.
Isak, found him hard to deal with in first game, but not the only one. Physicality outstanding not considering their technical ability. Will have to do well to compete with them. | | | |

Take heart from Leeds and Burnley? Not sure you can take too much from other clubs. But the club is in a stronger position in terms of facilities and squad than it was. We'll deal with that challenge when it comes. | | | |

Always want to give opportunities to young players when they're earned, nice to include Somto Boniface last week. Would be inappropriate to do so without them being earned. Somto done well. Most of the closest players are on loan, they will come back to be involved in pre-season. Where the squad is, there will be players from the academy involved at the weekend and in rest of season.
Wycombe loan exactly what we wanted for Cameron Humphreys. Has done very well, let's hope he can get his third promotion in three years, not sure many people have done that. Maybe four next season! | | | |

Fans have a big role to play going forward. Don't want to talk too much about next season, big days at Newcastle, Everton and beyond. Fans have represented club really well and has been spoken about by players and others. Want to keep earning it and we will keep doing that. We all want to win more games and send them home happy. Big driving force for us, want to do that in the next five games. | | | |

Ambition to become a yo-yo club? No one aims for that. I'm sure Leeds and Burnley would have wanted to stay up last year and establish. Hard to break in and establish it. Each club's approach will be different to attacking that challenge and protecting the club longer term. No simple solution. | | | |

Need experience and money. No doubt teams who have come up, got relegated and come back a lot stronger. Not always the case, Leicester and Southampton 10-plus years in PL. Each club on its own path. But the more years you have, the more chance you have of establishing. | | | |

US investors enjoyed Premier League, not just about money but support that they give. Fantastic ownership group, who support us in every way. Share same emotions as fans, like everyone else will have learned a lot from this year. | | | |
