A big January transfer window and a five-game unbeaten run has completely changed Newcastle United’s fortunes around in the past month and has provided a light at the end of the tunnel.
The Magpies were in a dire position heading into January, but after bringing in five new players and spending £90 million in the transfer window there were reasons to be optimistic.
In addition, their five-game unbeaten run has heightened expectations, in which the Magpies have drawn two and won their last three games to pull four points clear of the relegation zone.
