Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes hopes his performance against Nottingham Forest will put him "in the shop window to start games" going forward for Eddie Howe's side.

Barnes came off the bench to score the Magpies' third goal on Sunday and seal a fine 3-1 comeback victory at the City Ground.

"I want to play every game from the beginning," he told BBC Radio Newcastle. "When I'm not playing, I'm always going to be disappointed and frustrated.

"But, I feel like I'm someone who will always use that in a good way and when I do come on the pitch I will help the team and show why I should be on the pitch.

"I'm a player who wants to be starting and I feel like I have a lot to give the team. You can praise the manager for bringing you on but helping the team get those vital three points you hope puts you in the shop widow to start games."

Newcastle go into the November international break on the back of two strong performances and wins against Arsenal and Forest but Barnes believes there is still more to come from the Magpies.

"We're on a good run of form, you just want that next game to come," he added.

"You can see in the performances that we're winning games but we've still got things to work on so this little break gives us a opportunity to look at them, correct things and hit the ground running when we come back."
