Finish above them and you'll probably be okay. Below them and strong chance of going down.

Win Sat and we are 5 points clear of them. That's a decent buffer.
I would imagine a lot of other clubs' fans think that about us this season.

In previous years you could have looked at that fixture list and put your house on 25 points.

However, 15 points should be doable.

Bournemouth home and away for 6.

8 wins and a draw? I don’t know who you’ve been supporting in previous years but it’s not us :P

In previous years (Under Avram or Roeder), some would also look at that and think where the fk are the points coming from....

Keep the Lesbo on the bench.

Use him as a supersub. Or perhaps just a bit better than the average sub.

Quoted both of mine ..... I was being rather fair I thought ... There are 3 worse teams than them (just) they just have to prove it.

Shame. Think both played a part in our recent mini-revival.

So Zabaleta, Adrián and Arnie the only likely changes from wednesday’s ‘reserve’ side?

You keep banging this drum but team selection wasn't the issue midweek. The side out there was perfectly capable of attempting to win the game had they been instructed to.

I think this could end up a goalless draw if we are short of any creative midfielders (ie. Noble and Lanzini). Both sides might try and keep it tight and nick it in the last 5 mins. Newcastle have a better available midfield but I think we have a better defence and attack. Can't really see this as an expansive entertaining game but rather a scrappy hard fought one with lots of passes going astray or runs being made into 'dead-ends'. If we can try and support our front players a bit more , we might get something from this game. Newcastle will be the fresher of the two and I can see Benitez imploring his team to keep the tempo high from kick-off to tire us out.

We have to get something here, I still can't believe we lost 3-0 to them, Newcastle are rubbish and look like relegation fodder with all their Championship level players.
