Furthermore, Callum Wilson is also out for a while.

Newcastle's next 5 games :

A : WBA
H : A.Villa
A : Brighton
H : Tottenham
A : Burnley

We have only lost two in the last seven .That with a heavy injury list.
Why would we get relegated.?
Because there is a fair degree of negativity regards our attacking flair, and entertainment value. Many seem to think relegation goes hand in glove. If Palace, prove anything, it’s proving that is wrong.

It’s amazing how there is a far more positive take, by commentators on teams that are no better off than us. Even regarding sides recently beaten by us.
I find most commentators on any Palace , game spend most of the game , relaying negatives from Palaces past and present.
Fulham, deserve to get out of relegation, it took a while, but they have really sorted themselves out, and if a Fulham supporter is being really hopeful, they should be.
I think Newcastle fans must be bricking it.

The difference might be contained in Newcastle’s injury list, to a fair degree, on the other hand another plus for Fulham, is they have stopped getting beaten to often, and are actually beating some decent opposition.
That last day game could become an edge of seats moment. But just to spoil that notion. Fulham ,are going well enough to have removed the pressure that would be in that fixture.
It always amazes me Newcastle, can not break this constant flirting with relegation, yet little old Palace, should have it all sorted and dusted by now. Not your view of course.

While it is never over if there is 'mathematical possibility' I don't see Fulham making up 11 points on us.

To get 1 point a game is a big ask, it is not impossible of course.

You do all these calculations, then get out on the pitch and it is a very different matter.

Fulham or Newcastle? Fulham are the better team imo but its all about pressure.

As long as we pick up 6 more points we won't have to worry about whose behind us. I never like relying on other team's results. All too often that game which you think one of your rivals is bound to lose against tough top 6 opposition confounds us with a shock outcome.
