Newcastle 1-2 Bournemouth: What Howe said
[Getty Images] Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We fought back well in the second half and at 1-1 I thought we could be the team to go on and win, but we didn't stamp our authority and, similar to recent weeks, we conceded a poor goal late on. "They are a very good team, and they gave us problems at certain moments. I don't think there was a lot in the game.
It was a game of minimal shots from us. We should create more at home and that is a disappointment. It was an even game, but they had more product.
" On the elements that are missing: "Confidence and our flow isn't really there, which is putting pressure on our backline. There's minimal threat before their two goals. We make mistakes, and we don't recover from them.
I think the lads were there, they were present, they were trying. I would never criticise the group for that. We are collectively not at our best level, but I don't doubt the character of the players.
" On booing from the fans: "Disappointing when you are not delivering for your supporters. That is the ultimate disappointment when you feel you are letting people down who come here and support us. If they are critical of us, we have to accept that as that's the game we are in.
