[Albion] The Championship this midweek

[Sheebo]

I reckon a win tomoorow takes Huddersfield out of the automatic promotion race, they then have a big local derby against Leeds sunday lunchtime and we have a tricky game at Brentford. Newcastle didin't look that clever tonight particuarly at the back, Shelvey has quality, but if Dean was reffing he'd have been off.

If we were to win tomo - and it's a big, big IF, we'd def want Hudds to turn Leeds over. We shall see

i would have preferred Blackburn to get a result tbh

Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious.

I'm a bit gutted TBH. If Leeda had dropped points it would have been huge. Still, it's good Newcastle dropped 2 at home.

Have to expect Leeds to beat Blackburn, I saw any points dropped tonight as a bonus.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Agree completely. They worry me the most. Which is why I'm ****ed off they won late with another set piece tonight!

Pleased they played Barnsley before the clear out. We have taken three more points than them in last 10, so don't lets get too worried yet.

Derby v Newcastle Saturday is huge

Hull pick up a point at Man U, bad news for Palace

 

[Mellotron]

Something I notice a fair bit on #NUFC on Twatter is how much they loathe the refs in this league. Somebody should tell them their ref tonight hails from West Sussex.

They seem fine with them turning the other way when Shelvey kicks people EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

I know we're getting worried that Leeds and Reading appear to be catching us up, but if you look at the points totals for the last 10 games we are - in fact - pulling away:

BHA 25 pts
Leeds 22 pts
Reading 21 pts

NB: Newcastle 19 pts

Obviously what's getting us worried is the fact that Leeds and Reading have played two more games than us over the past 8 weeks.

This is going a bit like last season except now it's the top six that relentlessly keep picking up points not the top three. It can't carry on surely? Big advantage we have this year is that we have points in the bag and are not chasing. I just know we are not going to do this the easy way though

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Well the script here seems to be that we lose tomorrow and the whole race tightens up. Let's hope the boys ignore the script.

 

[fat old seagull]

I thought we weren't bothered about Newcastle....

What are you on....who has ever said that? They're still bookies fav to win the league!

 

[samtheseagull]

I think Reading are a threat with the new signings they have added. Leeds were very lucky tonight, Blackburn should of at least got a point

I know some are getting worried but I'm not. Win tomorrow and we're then 4pts clear of 2nd - fantastic position!

 

[Jim in the West]

Another interesting fact (!) - if you look at Newcastle's last 10 games, they only played one team in the top 10 (Sheff Weds) - whereas our last 10 games included FOUR teams in the top 10 (plus Preston who are 11th)

I needed those pick me up comments

It's just more the fact it was 89 mins & another set piece with their 2nd shot on target that annoyed me!

 

[Washie]

This is going to give Huddersfield huge belief now, makes our game tomorrow that much harder.

 

[crookie]

Same here. Oh well !

If Huddersfield win tomorrow I get my stake back. Be delighted to lose the fiver

 

[Triggaaar]

Not the best cross from Kaz but it sure counted

What exactly was wrong with the cross?

 

[Two Professors]

Not too bad tonight,but wish Kaz could have scored.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It was a class own goal
