Howe: We're devastated for Newcastle fans

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says he's upset for fans after their home FA Cup defeat to Cambridge.

Newcastle suffered the shocking defeat in front of more than 50,000 supporters at St James' Park on Saturday evening.

As a result, Howe has won just one game since replacing Steve Bruce at the helm in November.

Speaking after the game, Howe said: "We're devastated for them (the Newcastle supporters).

"A great atmosphere, incredible feeling all the way during the game, even when we went behind, really willing the team to find an equaliser.

"It didn't totally surprise me - since I've been here, that's what the supporters have been like.

"Devastated for them, feel their pain and it motivates me to try to repay their faith and their support by winning games very soon."
