Eddie Howe has admitted to feeling stunned by the support shown by Newcastle fans since taking charge in November.
The 44-year-old ended an 18-month hiatus from the game to become Magpies boss at the back end of last year, with the club winless and five points adrift from safety.
A tricky start saw Howe win just once in his first 10 games, but supporters maintained faith in the boss and are now starting to reap the rewards.
