Newcastle United Supporters Trust are furious at the current state of affairs at the club.

While the Magpies are not in the relegation zone, a series of poor performances and results have led to question marks about their ability to stay up.

They have not won a single game in the past eight matches, and have only ONE goal in ten hours of play.

The NUST wants manager Steve Bruce sacked so someone else can steady the ship and keep the club away from the drop zone.

Greg Tomlinson, chair of the Supporters Trust, told members: "I contacted the club on Wednesday to express the significant concerns of the (NUST) Board that the club appears to have not learned lessons from the 2015/16 season and that the club is in real danger of sleepwalking to relegation.

"The performance at Sheffield United was simply unacceptable, but it was not unexpected for anyone that has watched the full 90 minutes of all our games this season."

Newcastle are in 15th position, seven points off the drop zone.
