In an odd sort of way I find that reassuring.
In the same way I'm sure Rafa is pleased the Albion are keeping Newcastle honest, a bit of pressure and focus can only help the team keep it's foot to the floor.
After the Albion it's Derby v Birmingham.
Neither side can put themselves into the top 6 with a win.
Newcastle aside a 'bad' day of results for the Albion would appear to be much worse for many other teams.

Chasing pack (peloton) seem remarkably resilient. Reading have won seven of last nine games I think. Hudds back in form. Leeds winning well. Why don't these buggers give us some encouragement?

Not seen such Bravery!
Win today and the peloton start chasing Newcastle not us 
The peloton is always resilient, by virtue of the fact it can travel with 30%+ less wind resistance.
The lead group needs to keep it at arms length, till 5kms before it's impossible to be caught.
At that point the peloton gets too twitchy and is unable to work for the great good.
Thoughts of 'what if we can't catch them' spreads like wildfire, closely followed by 'we need to make sure we get on the podium'.
At this point the lead group needs to fight the urge to go for for the win, to early, as tired riders are easily caught when there's nowhere to hide.
Set a solid tempo - keep that tempo - hold your nerve - take nothing for granted - sprint for the line.
DO NOT DO THIS:-
