EDDIE HOWE has insisted Newcastle are not “in a dark place” as he backs Callum Wilson to fire them into Europe.

Only one win in the league since the turn of the year has seen Liverpool catch up in the race for fourth place which also involves Tottenham.
That target – even a top-six finish – seemed somewhat fanciful at the start of the season when players started to mention their hopes, after just escaping the relegation battle in 2022.
