Jamaal Lascelles has shared what Eddie Howe has written on signs around Newcastle United’s training ground to motivate the squad.

It was a good start to Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup campaign, overcoming a tricky tie against Tranmere Rovers.

Eddie Howe’s side went a goal behind against their League Two opposition, before Jamaal Lascelles and Chris Wood secured the Magpies passage to the third round.

Speaking to Newcastle’s official website, goalscorer Lascelles was asked whether he believes they can win the cup this season.

Lascelles responded positively, mentioning that Howe has been encouraging the side with signs around the training ground: “100%, we’ve always dreamed of it (winning a trophy) and tried for that, but it seems more realistic with this manager.

“From pre-season he was speaking about it, and the league is huge for us, but these cup games are just as important, and we approached it that way.

“He put signs up around the training ground about 67 years, we all know the importance of it, and the importance to the fans of giving them something.

“We’re going to give it a real go, and we started that way tonight.”

Newcastle fans have been starved of a major trophy for a long time now.

The Magpies have won several smaller competitions, such as the Anglo-Italian Cup and Intertoto Cup since their 1955 FA Cup triumph.

They also lifted the Championship title on their way back to the Premier League in 2017.

However, none of these trophies match up to winning major honours, and Eddie Howe clearly seems determined to change that.

The players being reminded of these past successes will motivate them going forward, and Lascelles clearly believes Howe is the right manager to lead them to that first trophy in 67 years.

Newcastle’s next opponents in the Carabao Cup are Crystal Palace, but they’ll face to wait until November to see if this cup run can continue.

They might have several new faces through the door by then, with one potential signing possibly about to break their transfer record.

There could also be departures as well, with Newcastle’s half-time substitute against Tranmere linked with a move to France.
