Eddie Howe spoke to BBC Sport after Newcastle's victory over Wolves: "I thought we played pretty well after the first five minutes. The fact we haven't won a game puts more pressure on you in the latter stages. "The win was all that mattered but we'd love to win in a better style and score more goals. We're defending well as a team.

It would be more than understandable if Howe had reached the September international break fretting and discomforted. His Newcastle side are yet to win a match, they have not been able to field a senior centre-forward,

I think beyond doubt, the plan was this. Yoane Wissa would start against Wolves, then Nick Woltemade introduced at some point off the bench. Preferably with United a few goals up! Basically, minimal pressure on him.

The Germany international’s 29th-minute header secured a first Premier League win of the season for the Magpies.

Newcastle United have been warned that manager Eddie Howe is becoming increasingly frustrated and could quit his role.

Newcastle turned their attention to Woltemade, and in particular Wissa, after failing to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is an injury doubt for Saturday’s match at St James’ Park.

He started in the high altitude Estadio Municipal de El Alto in Bolivia in the early hours of Wednesday morning and Howe has admitted discussions have been held over his condition ahead of the visit of Wolves this afternoon. "Yeah, definitely," Howe replied when asked about Guimaraes' fitness.
