Newcastle have 3 points from 8 matches. They've not yet played Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea. So they have 6 of their remaining 30 games that will be very difficult to get anything from.
The last 4 seasons, the average points for the 17th placed team is 36.5. That leaves them with getting 33-34 points from 24 games. That's with the worst defence in the league and no ability to improve personnel until January. Assuming nothing against the best three sides, they'd need something like W9 D7 L8 from the rest just to get to 34 points.
If I were a Newcastle fan, I'd be much more focused on staying up than winning trophies.
