Crystal Palace's winless streak hits four after a 2-0 home loss to Newcastle, leaving Pierre Sage under mounting pressure just above the drop zone.
Crystal Palace's slide continues. Newcastle left Selhurst Park with a 2-0 win, extending the Eagles' winless run to four matches and deepening the worry around the club.
The defeat leaves Palace just a point clear of the relegation zone. A side that should be looking up the table is now checking over its shoulder, and every dropped point makes that gap feel smaller.
The heat is landing squarely on manager Pierre Sage. The Frenchman has yet to find the formula to turn Palace's recent struggles around, and the home loss will only sharpen the questions about direction, selection and belief in the dressing room.
Newcastle, by contrast, did the job professionally and took the three points. For Palace, the picture is simple: they need a response, and they need it soon. Another slip and the talk around Sage will get louder, with the fight at the bottom of the Premier League table getting tighter by the week.
