Aleksandar Mitrovic might not have set the world alight in the North-East, but Newcastle fans are warming to him.
The £15m man has recovered from early disciplinary problems to become a regular for the Magpies, even if his goal tally leaves a little to be desired.
His popularity is clear to see, based on the reaction to the Serb being dropped for the trip to Crystal Palace.
Cowardly decision to drop Mitrovic but leave players like Colo, Dummett & Sissoko in the team.
One bad game!#NUFC

Dropping Mitrovic but not Sissoko or Colocinni? Big mistake in my opinion, it's a lack of service that's the problem, not Mitro. #NUFC.
