Keith Gillespie: “It is a bit of a pantomime at times at Newcastle, the way things are going on.
"They had the changing of the stadium name, which angered the fans, and it just seems to be one thing after another.
“They really need to improve immediately. It looks like Alan Pardew is on borrowed time, especially if they lose on Saturday.
“The fans are not happy, and rightfully so. If things don’t improve, they’re going to be in a long relegation battle this year.
“I did fear for them at the start of the season because the players they brought in were players that a lot of people hadn’t really heard of.”
