A familiar refrain rang around stadiums up and down the country less than a year ago.

"I don't want to go home," Newcastle United fans sang repeatedly. "This is the best trip I've ever been on."

Yet victories at the Emirates, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Old Trafford felt like a fever dream on Sunday as Newcastle fell to a 3-1 defeat against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

It was certainly not the anniversary present Howe had in mind as he marked four years as the Magpies' head coach.

Howe's side have failed to win on the road in the Premier League since April and now lie just two points above the relegation zone.

"I can't give you a satisfactory answer to that because it's not satisfactory," Howe said, when asked about the contrast in away results.

"We haven't done our jobs and we feel we have let everybody down. When you do that, when you make mistakes, it's not intentional from anyone. All you can do is hold your hands up and go: 'Right, let's try and fix it.' That's what we are going to try and do."
