4. Defining Period
The opening month of the 2021 season will be the most defining period for the Pies.
Given the nature of their off-season and the consistent noise and backlash surrounding the club in all facets, the fans will be looking for something to get excited and cheer about.
A solid first month could just give the club and its fans the hope they will be looking for and show the football world that the Magpies have quickly moved on from all the events that had taken place prior to the season.
