LEWIS HALL is hoping he will have the chance to repay the faith boss Eddie Howe has shown in him this season.

Hall said over the weekend that he and his team-mates "are desperate for Howe to stay and be our manager".
The 19-year-old left-back admits he had a tough introduction to life at St James' Park last term, initially on loan from boyhood club Chelsea.
