The Magpies suffered a 3-2 home loss against the Bees, who came from behind to record their first ever Premier League win at St. James' Park.

Sven Botman's header on his 100th club appearance fired Newcastle in front before Vitaly Janelt's leveller and Igor Thiago's penalty turned the contest in the visitors' favour before half-time.

Despite Bruno Guimarães' spot-kick drawing the hosts level in the closing stages, Dango Ouattara's late strike condemned Newcastle to a third successive league defeat, with Trippier providing an honest assessment after the full-time whistle.

Here are some of his post-match thoughts:

On defeat against Brentford:

"We start the game well and go one-nil up but, again, it's about putting more pressure on the teams that we've been playing when we've got the lead.

"It's disappointing to go in 2-1 down but we came back into the game. In the whole, it's the way we're conceding the goals. It's not like us and hasn't been since I've arrived at the club.

"Now, it's a busy period so for myself as a senior player and other senior players in the dressing room is to calm things down because we've got another big game on Tuesday (against Tottenham Hotspur)."

On Brentford's late winner:

"It's the way we concede the goal. I always look at myself after every game and I don't even need to look at the third goal because I'm out of position.

"That's where I stand up and take responsibility, which I've done throughout my whole career. I don't hide. I don't shy away from it.

"We're frustrated especially at home because we've been a force and threat. Teams have always feared us but now we have to reset. We have to keep going. This is the reality playing every three days.

"Us players will take responsibility and apologise to the supporters but all I can say is stick by us like you always have and we go again against Tottenham."

On the requirements needed to improve the Magpies' current form:

"Maybe a little bit of confidence. When you don't win, I've been in this position many times in my career when I've been a young player and the senior players have stood up. I'm in that boat now where we need to steady the ship.

"We need to keep listening to the gaffer. He sets our plan and it's us players to take responsibility and execute that. The goals we're conceding is down to us and nobody else."

On the need to bounce back ahead of four successive away fixtures:

"Make no mistake, we will turn this around. We're just going through a difficult patch. I'm not using any excuses for the amount of games because us players, supporters and the club want to play Champions League football.

"We want to be playing in every competition so there's no excuses from my side on that sense but it's about resetting. We've not won in five but it's all about character, stepping up and being accounted for, myself included.

"We will be back winning games and it's another tough test at Tottenham but all we can do is recharge, keep listening to the manager and go again because it's a relentless schedule but that's what we want."
