Rafael Benitez will not judge his Newcastle first-team stars until the January transfer window as he looks to cement their place in the top half of the table.
The Magpies have taken 14 points from nine games in the Premier League this term, and have looked a much more formidable side in recent weeks after a shaky start to 2017/18.
With quotes attributed to him in the Chronicle newspaper following his pre-match Burnley press conference, Benitez stated that his current crop of players would be given the next three months to continue building on their impressive start to life back in England's top flight.
