The season saw Newcastle end in 15th place after a difficult season for the Magpies. Newcastle started the season without a win from their opening eight games, and ended it by only winning three times in 19 Premier League games. Manager Alan Pardew was subject to protests during the opening run, but seemed to have turned a corner by following it with six consecutive wins, including a Capital One Cup victory at Manchester City. Pardew left Newcastle in January to join Crystal Palace, with manager John Carver taking over until the end of the season. He presided over some of Newcastle's worst ever league form, including a run of eight consecutive defeats. A win over West Ham on the final day of the season ultimately secured Newcastle survival.
