Newcastle Can Avoid Implosion

Newcastle Can Avoid Implosion

West Brom might relax after reaching safety and it cannot get any worse for Newcastle - surely?

After eight successive defeats, Newcastle couldn’t beat an egg at the moment. John Carver has seemingly lost the plot and the dressing room, whilst the locals have just lost faith.

Seems like the perfect time to back Newcastle then!

That might seem like lunacy but the bookmakers have included all the bad news into the price. Newcastle have probably reached rock bottom and so often with gambling, it pays to go against the crowd.

West Brom have enjoyed some good away days of late but their results have outstripped performance. The Baggies have been out-shot in each of their last five away games and are averaging a paltry five shots per game.

Having reached the magical 40-points barrier the players might switch-off and that could be enough for a desperate Newcastle side.

Despite all the doom and gloom, the Magpies haven’t been completely useless at St. James’s Park. They’ve scored in 14/17 home games this season and have rarely been out-shot.

A home game against West Brom is eminently winnable and Newcastle are underrated at 13/8 (Betfred).
