Everyone is talking about Alexander Isak's form, which is helping to propel Eddie Howe's men towards a top-four place in the Premier League.
However, you know your club best, so we need you to tell us the one thing - good or bad - that nobody is talking about at Newcastle but really should be.

Can you imagine the head loss if not? It would have even left social media and spilled into real life (the real marker of serious issues).
This means we can slightly relax. Only slightly, though, because we are technically at half-time against Arsenal in our journey to a second cup final in three years. Can we do it? We are 2-0 up - but nothing is a given. Except Shay.
The story from the weekend is not the hum of anxiety about next week's Arsenal fixture, or even beating Southampton, but Miguel Almiron.
Almiron was subbed on at 88 minutes on Saturday for Anthony Gordon in what looks like his last minutes playing for the club. Reports suggest that very soon he will be rejoining Atlanta United in Major League Soccer.
Almiron is an interesting player. Fast and lean, he provided something new to our team when we needed it in 2019. He joined us in the January transfer window that season for about £21m. Back then, that was Newcastle's transfer record. Let that sink in when you think about how far we have come.
In the 2022-23 campaign, Almiron went on a run of scoring in five out of six wins for Newcastle, and provided many of the assists that helped win the games. This 'purple patch' is remembered fondly across the fanbase.
He has not always been brilliant, but he was there when we needed him. We qualified for the Champions League that season.
After Saturday's game, the players took their customary appreciation moment for the travelling fans.
Eddie Howe took that opportunity - as he did with Sandro Tonali right before his ban - to put 'Miggy' front and centre. He offered the fans the chance to thank this player, and they sang his name.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Southampton and Newcastle.
Here are some of your comments:
Saints fans
Ben: One of those matches where we get reminded that other teams are just better than us in every way. Nobody had an absolute howler, but Newcastle were still able to nullify us without leaving third gear. I'm looking forward to no VAR next season. The way it is implemented is disgusting.
Darryl: I think most of us have given up with this season. I can't believe how poor we have been. In all honesty, we got promoted probably a season too early. It's not fun loosing every week!
Daz: Absolute rubbish yet again! Sack the lot and bring in the under-21s. I guarantee they would do better. Why do the Saints' board bring in a manager that was sacked from his last job due to bad performance when what we needed was a proven manager with Premier League experience? We could have had Graham Potter or David Moyes. We have bought players with little or no Premier League experience and I think everyone from the board downwards needs a clearout. It's an embarrassing time to be a Saints supporter.
David: We have only four players that are the standard to play in the Premier League when most teams have a bench full. This, I'm afraid, is our problem - we've needed a striker for three years. We are relegation favourites and at times our play is pitiful.
Newcastle fans
Anth: Getting back on the 'winning horse' was vital to ensure our Champions League ambitions are still alive and kicking. To overcome a shaky start and push on to a solid performance gets our mojo firing once more especially with important games appearing on the horizon. Well played boys - onwards and upwards!
Si: Great comeback performance following last week's humbling at the hands of Bournemouth. This showed the resilience in the team and Eddie Howe's trust they could come back and perform following a crushing defeat. We seemed to take the foot off the throttle at 3-1 which maybe showed naivety, playing the bottom side. Overall a professional performance that keeps alive our hopes of a top-four place.
Tommy: After the last game, I expected that kind of response. It wasn't our best performance but clearly it was extremely pleasant to see. Sandro Tonali is awesome and Alexander Isak unstoppable. Onwards and upwards for the Toon Army.
Kevin: Newcastle won the game without getting out of third gear. Didn't panic at 1-0 down early on. Dan Burn and Fabian Schar give better balance in defence. Clinical and professional performance.

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle's Alexander Isak is the most in-form striker in the Premier League.
The Sweden international has scored 13 goals in 10 league games since the start of December, which is four more than Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
Out of players to take at least five shots, he has the best shot conversion rate of 42 percent in that time from 31 shots.
He has scored a Premier League goal every 65 minutes in this run and is the hottest striker at the moment by some distance as the closest to him is again Salah who averages a goal every 99 minutes.
Last season, Isak scored 21 goals in 30 games and he is set for another successful campaign with his current standings at 17 in 21 matches.
Highlights and analysis from Saturday's six Premier League fixtures are now available to watch.

Listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle United manager Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a tough game. We knew it would be. Southampton came out quickly and scored. That changes the dynamic of the whole game because I thought we started really well.
"We needed to really dig deep, it was a big test of our character especially after what happened last week (against Bournemouth). We needed a big response and we got that with the penalty, we never looked back."
On Alexander Isak: "He took the penalty really well. He was really good in lots of moments during that first half. He was the conduit, he was the guy linking play for us and then on the end of bits and pieces.
"He's taken the second goal really well, it was a great move from the team. Delighted with him, delighted for the group. It's a big win for us."
On Newcastle's travelling support: "The noise created by our away support was incredible. Those that braved those elements to come down we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. We hope they have a safe journey back."
On subbing on Miguel Almiron, who has been linked with a move back to Atlanta: "It wasn't necessarily a farewell, it wasn't planned. It just something instinctive, with the supporters singing his name. For everything that he's given me and the football club I thought it was only right he shared that with the supporters."

Image source, Getty ImagesIn Newcastle's 3-1 win at Southampton, one thing separated the two teams: a ruthless edge in front of goal.
The Magpies started the game slowly and the Saints made them pay, taking the lead after just 10 minutes through centre-back Jan Bednarek.
The fact I have mentioned his position is worth noting because Southampton's attackers, save for Matheus Fernandes, who took his late finish well before it got ruled out for offside, lacked an edge in front of goal.
At the other end of the pitch, Newcastle's Alexander Isak netted his 16th and 17th Premier League goals of the 2024-25 campaign.
The Swedish striker won a penalty soon after Newcastle went behind, and this goal acted as a catalyst for his team.
Isak curled beyond Alex McCarthy just four minutes later and, after half-time, Sandro Tonali finished with similar confidence.
Newcastle's win means they have won six away from home in the Premier League this term, the same amount they managed in the entirety of 2023-24.
For Southampton, the loss against the Magpies was the first time in their league history that they have been beaten in six consecutive home matches.

All the talk before Newcastle played Bournemouth was whether Eddie Howe's side could push Liverpool in the title race, but that talk has stopped since they lost 4-1.
They are still right in the mix for a top-four finish, but it is important for them to quickly get back to winning ways - and this seems like a good game for them to do that.
Southampton have made a decent fist of it in their past two games, against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, but they still ended up losing both of them.
Let's face it, they are as good as down. Their situation is so bad that, when we spoke about the relegation battle on this week's Monday Night Club, we didn't even mention them - the assumption is that they are already gone.
Their main aim now is to avoid going down with the lowest points tally in Premier League history.
They have got 16 games left to pick up the six points that would see them beat Derby County's tally of 11 points from 2007-08.
It is a big incentive because Robbie Savage, who was Derby's captain that season, has had to live with that record for years.
I'd really like him to keep hold of it, so let's all pray for Southampton to reach the 12-point mark. I don't see them picking anything up here though.
Sutton's prediction: Southampton 0-2 Newcastle
Tyrese King
BBC Sport journalist
Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Southampton (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On Miguel Almiron leaving this transfer window: "I think Miggy's head has been very solidly here. He's been brilliant in training and I never thought for one moment that I had to have a deeper conversation with him [about this]. We are both aware that other clubs have shown interest in him."
Howe also added: "We love him to bits, he's got a great energy and character that's never changed for a second - he's been the ultimate professional. And let's see what happens."
Howe believes there needs to be a "response" from Newcastle after losing their last game, stating: "We need to learn from Bournemouth, we need a response. I have no doubt the players will respond. We will go to Southampton absolutely focused. Southampton are a proud football club, and we will have to be at our absolute best."
On Southampton: "I take that they're more mixed now, I'd say that there are still elements of that possession-based play in their game. I don't think that will go away quickly because they've been playing that way for a long period of time, the new manager is obviously embracing that as well."
Southampton have become "very aggressive" off the ball and adopted a "man-for-man style" according to Howe.
On Nick Pope being available for selection: "There's a chance he'll be in the squad. He's started training with the group again and it's great to see Nick back and his presence, his positivity that he brings. I've seen him do some really good things this week, so yes, delighted to have him back in the mix."
Howe says it is "too early" for striker Callum Wilson despite the "good progress" made to start straining with the group.

This Premier League pursuit becomes a lot easier if you take your chances.
BBC Sport has checked in on some data comparing goals versus expected goals this season.
You can see from the bar graph some teams aren't finding the goals (yellow) to outstrip the expected goals they should score (black).
Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal, Brentford, Newcastle, Brighton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Leicester have all scored more than expected.
Wolves in particular have found the net 32 times from an expected 23.56 - a significant overperformance.
League leaders Liverpool are pretty much bang on in returning what they should, while Arsenal have outperformed, with 43 goals from an expected 37.78.
Bournemouth - 36 goals from an expected 43 - are leaving opportunities on the table.
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle have lost just one of their past 23 Premier League games against promoted sides, going down 1-0 at Luton in December 2023. Since that defeat at Kenilworth Road, the Magpies have scored at least four goals in five of their six games against promoted clubs, winning the past five in a row.
Alexander Isak has scored in each of his past four Premier League away games, with no Newcastle player ever doing so in five in a row.
