The squad is 'clearly not strong enough'
Former Newcastle defender Steve Howey says the Magpies will not be sucked into a relegation battle - but admits their league position is "not good". Eddie Howe's side are eight points clear of the bottom three with four Premier League games remaining. Howey told BBC Radio Newcastle: "I don't think we'll be in a relegation battle but, ultimately, where they are in the league is not good considering where they have been in the league over the past couple of seasons.
"While I thought it was a decent squad it's just clearly not strong enough for them to be competing on all fronts. " Newcastle supporter Anas added: "I think we'll be OK but one more win will allow us just to breathe a bit more easily and put this season to bed.
