Back here at the Newcastle United training ground where we've just been speaking to Jason
00:05
Tindall, not Eddie Howe this morning. Newcastle boss ill apparently but will be taking training
00:10
later today and is expected to be in the dugout for the match against Luton Town tomorrow
00:15
afternoon at St James' Park. So yeah, interesting speaking to Jason Tindall, different sort
00:20
of perspective on things. He was of course asked about his notoriety and reputation as
00:25
probably the most well-known number two in the Premier League, if not Europe to be honest.
00:32
Asked about the sort of touchline dynamic, the rules introduced. This season where only
00:38
one coaching staff member is allowed on the touchline whereas previously Eddie Howe and
00:43
Jason Tindall very rarely seen apart almost. Hard to separate them on the touchline but
00:48
this season slightly different dynamic. Jason Tindall said he thinks that rule was introduced
00:53
because of Newcastle and that dynamic but thinks they've been handling it very well
00:58
yet to see any bookings or being reprimanded a couple of times but no actual punishment
01:05
for breaking that rule this season. So been managing it alright and Jason Tindall was
01:12
asked of course about himself and how he's got almost a cult status of wanting to be
01:18
the centre of attention but he played that down as you'd expect him to almost. He said
01:24
things like it's just him being him, a lot of it is superstition, being next to Eddie
01:29
Howe wanting to shake opposition manager's hand, being front and centre in the team photos.
01:34
He said it's just a superstitious thing and it's just him being him. If people are going
01:39
to dislike him for being himself then there's not much he can do about it really. So yeah,
01:46
it was an interesting press conference in many ways. A lot of talk about Jason Tindall
01:51
but then a lot of talk about the positivity surrounding Newcastle United despite a very
01:56
quiet transfer window. Great result against Aston Villa on Tuesday night and hopefully
02:01
they can build on it against Luton Town tomorrow because I think a failure to build on it almost
02:06
puts Newcastle, it's two steps forward, one step back because you would have expected
02:11
Newcastle to beat Luton Town or you would expect Newcastle to beat Luton Town regardless
02:16
probably a surprise to see them beat Villa so convincingly in particular. So building
02:23
on that Villa win will be so important to Eddie Howe and his side as he returns to the
02:29
dugout, as we expect to see him back in the dugout tomorrow after battling a brief illness
02:35
but won't keep him out of training. I think maybe the transfer window and the fact that
02:40
this was our fifth press conference in seven days probably made him a little bit sick.
02:46
But Jason Tindall kept sort of true to form with Eddie Howe in terms of injury updates
02:52
which is probably the big takeaway from the press conference although take it with a huge
02:57
pinch of salt but Alexander Isak obviously the major blow from Tuesday night against
03:02
Aston Villa. Big doubts over him, could be facing a good few games out was initially
03:09
what was expected with a groin issue but Jason Tindall very much he did his best to play
03:14
that down he actually said Alexander Isak has improved day on day since the injury and
03:20
has a chance for being involved against Luton Town tomorrow. Whether that actually transpires
03:27
I'd be surprised if we see Alexander Isak tomorrow personally but Jason Tindall wouldn't
03:31
rule it out and he wouldn't rule out the likes of Callum Wilson, Harvey Bond said they're
03:36
very close would expect them to at least make the bench tomorrow. He even mentioned Joe
03:40
Willock he said he's a bit further behind the likes of Wilson and Bonds but has a chance
03:46
as does Jamal Lassell. So yeah I mean if all of those come off it's quite a lot of major
03:53
injury boosts for Newcastle in the squad all of a sudden looks very stronger, very stronger,
03:57
much stronger heading into the sort of final sort of 15, 16 games of the season. So yeah
04:05
big boost for Newcastle hopefully would expect to see at least one or two back I'd say Callum
04:11
Wilson, Harvey Bond the closest two if Alexander Isak is back that's great news because that
04:16
looked like a real it took the sheen off what was probably one of Newcastle's results of
04:21
the season certainly away from home, well I say that, 8-0 against Sheffield United wasn't
04:26
bad either but yeah looking a bit positive Jason Tindall that was the message a lot of
04:32
positivity around the recent results and the injury situation sort of clearing up at the
04:38
moment but the proof will be in the pudding tomorrow when that team news drops. But in
04:43
the meantime we'll have all the updates from Jason Tindall's press conference and all the
04:48
previews looking ahead to tomorrow's game at St James' Park back in the Premier League
04:55
