We asked for your views on the possibility of Newcastle joining the relegation scrap in the Premier League; as they sit eight points above the drop zone with four games remaining.
Here are some of your comments:

Richard: I fully expect Newcastle to end up in the relegation fight as we’ve been shocking recently.
Craig: We won’t get dragged into anything. Our poor performances across the entire season have left us already worrying about relegation. It’s intensely obvious that Eddie Howe’s time is over, and delaying doing anything about it until the summer is going to make this one another badly planned summer that’ll hurt us again next year.
Albi: We are not safe. Failure to pick up a single point from the remaining games and then three wins from Tottenham’s last four remaining games will sink us. It’s unlikely but possible. The West Ham game at home is anything but a banker.
Tom: Yes – there’s total lack of direction from coaches and effort from so-called players.

David: Most certainly we are in the relegation dog fight. They are in free fall, have a total lack of confidence and some players in the squad are believing all the hype about big money moves and have totally switched off. We have seen this before and Eddie needs to only select those players who are going to run through brick walls for him in the remaining games.
Tom: Yes, Newcastle United can get relegated this season. We need four points to be absolutely safe. If we build on the performance against Arsenal we should be OK. But we are relying on Tottenham to be as abysmal as they have been all season. The Arsenal match proved yet again how important Bruno Guimaraes is to the team. We look a different team with him playing.
Dave: I’m probably a bit pessimistic but yes I think we could be caught. I think normally 42 points was safe but this year, I can see both West Ham and Spurs reaching that target. Essentially, I think we need at least two more points to guarantee safety. Our form has been awful so I’m keeping my fingers crossed we can scrape out a couple of draws.
Adie: We just don’t look like winning our remaining games this season, so relegation is a worry. Though I do think we’re fortunate to already be on 42pts, which should be enough to stay up.
