Difficult. Burnley and Leeds will probably also start picking up points soon. Watford seem very unpredictable and I think Sothampton are doing well. Hard to see which 2 other teams newcastle will beat.

They are likely saying exactly the same about us given the change of owners and possible high profile manager coming in.

We’re not fucked, like. Many games to go.

Need around a point a game (at the very least) to survive. Not impossible obviously, but we’ve just been outclassed by a team that would be in and around us and are currently 4 points adrift.
 

Leeds will start picking up more points soon; just have to hope Burnley and Southampton  don’t pick up form. We realistically could be 6 points behind next week with a very difficult winter fixture list. I’d say we’re very much up against it.

4, relegation is an undoubted threat, but we have a new manager and reinforcements to come in January. There's still more than enough time to turn things around though.

[et tu brute]

All depends on the gap come January. If we can keep it to below 6 points, then we have a chance with new players (hopefully) coming in. More than that, I think it would be a struggle and probably also unlikely that the required quality of player required will commit to come.

[SUPERTOON]

Based on the quality of the others teams down there it’s by no means certain that there will be much of a gap between us and them.

Hope you're right

[Kaizero]

I feel like people are heavily overrating our current crop of players. Bar a select few most of our players would be better suited for Championship teams at best.

Just keep it within 5 points until January.

To be honest, couldn't give a fuck, I've got my club back.

I actually think it's the opposite to this, this side has shown it's more than capable of comfortably finishing in midtable.

Aye, us. Three years ago we took 3 draws from the first 10.

The fixtures were tougher then from what I recall 

 

This time we've had a kind fixture list

 

We are very much in trouble, key is to ensure the gap is no more than 5 points come January.  Some smart investment and we'll be in with a chance.

[Bizza]

It's not the end of the world if we go down tbh. We've got more than enough resources now to bounce back first time easily plus a season in the championship to rebuild the squad and sort things out behind the scenes with coaching staff ect might actually benefit us in the long run.

[samptime29]

Certainly in a tough spot like. Our centre midfield isn't great, not kept a clean sheet all season. Wilson, ASM will get goals, new manager, investment in Jan, there are positives but crucial period. 

 

Chelsea no deal. Then Brighton, Brentford, Arsenal, Norwich, Burnley. Absolutely minimum we need 7 points, ideally 9-10 would be very useful.

[toon25]

Tbf, even if we went down I'd be pretty confident we'd come back up and come back stronger too.

All good points of course.  Basically the plans of the new owners would be delayed a year !

I'm very confident that we will stay up this season. I don't think we will be to far adrift come the transfer window.

(If Steve Bruce was still the manager we would go down for sure.)

4 or 5 new players, premier league standard coming in jan will keep us safe and the rebuild can start in the summer.

The new manager coming in must be someone who we can back and give full support for 3 or 4 seasons.

I’m around a 6 , I’m nervous however yet even if we went down so fuck .

 

We have the new owners we craved, rid of Bruce , not one single fan of NUFC should be unhappy for a good few months yet , what a few weeks we have had , don’t ever forget the turnaround.

 

Whatever happens we are one ☝️

I agree , but we are still now rid of Ashley and most of his twats , that’s enough for me mate .

[Billy Pilgrim]

Still in serious bother and probably won’t be out of bother until we spend

I’m relaxed about relegation. Even if we go down, we’ll be back at some point. If PIF get bored and sell up, we’re still rid of Ashley & Bruce. 

[SUPERTOON]

I’m dreading relegation personally, we finally have the backing to have a real go and there is no guarantee of coming straight back up.

 

I do get the point about no Ashley or Bruce though.

[The Prophet]

I'd say if anything, good backing usually means a very good chance of coming back up. The sides benefiting from the parachute payments alone aren't usually far off.
