Large majority think top half finish won't happen for Newcastle United this season

Newcastle United supporters are firmly of the opinion that a top half finish won't be achieved in the Premier League this season. The Magpies are currently 14th having only lost once in the league since the turn of the year, but fans remain realistic with the vast majority of the belief that a top ten is a bridge too far.

Everton are next on the fixture list, following Newcastle's late 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge last weekend, before United have an almost two-and-a-half week break from all domestic action. Manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that the club will travel to Dubai for warm weather training during the international hiatus.

The Toon are at present just four points behind 10th placed side Southampton and also boast a game in hand over the Saints. But with just 10 games left this season, fans are seemingly unsure that a top half finish can be achieved.
