Newcastle manager Howe pleads for Woltemade patience

Woltemade made a fine start to his time in English football following his pre-season arrival from Stuttgart for a fee of £69 million ($94 million) with six goals in his first 11 games for northeast side Newcastle. But the goals have dried up for the 23-year-old, who has failed to find the back of the net in his last 12 appearances "He is young, (it's) a new league," Howe said of Woltemade in the build-up to Saturday's match at home to seventh-placed Brentford -- four positions above Newcastle in the table.
