Ikon Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Trust me, so am I to be totally honest This is Newcastle after all.. Just trying to use my head a little bit when saying that they won't keep this run going for the rest of the season. It's ours to lose simply put. If we do our job we'll 100% go up, but yeah, it doesn't always go like we wish.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Have to win the next two with the tough games coming up and really should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Win the next 2 and we're on 72 points after 33 games. Arguably we then only need 20 points from 13 games to go up. Maybe 24 points to guarantee it, but I think it'd be unlikely if 92 points wasn't enough - 96 would be a virtual certainty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Some huge games coming up in the Championship over the next 9 days, but Sky are going overboard massively advertising the wrong one. Tuesday Huddersfield vs Reading, not on Sky because of the Champions League television rule Hopefully a draw here, or because they are a point behind and played a game more, if someone had to win, then Reading. Saturday 12.30pm Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday, Sky A week or 2 ago we would have preferred a Sheff Wed win, but after 4 straight wins and Leeds only getting 7 points from the 18 available, Sheff Wed are in a better position now, with both on 58 points but Leeds have played a game more. Ideally a draw, but if there was a winnder i'd want it to be Leeds as they have some tough games coming up Saturday 5.30pm Brighton vs Reading, sky If Reading beat Huddersfield on Tuesday then i'd probably want Brighton to win, so then 3rd and 4th will have lost a game giving us a chance to put a bit of distance to 3rd place. If Reading draw / lose to Huddersfield then i'd probably want a draw here, or if we have got 2 wins against Villa and Bristol before this match then we'd be 11/12 clear of Reading so probably wouldn't mind them winning then obviously Brighton vs Newcastle on Sky a week on Tuesday. Some massive games there mind and the picture will probably look a lot clearer after these games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The reason they are advertising our game massively is that they've had little football on this weekend due to the FA cup and the Sutton vs Arsenal game is on at the same time.

And because it directly clashes with Sutton vs Arsenal, so if you were a neutral and on the fence, you might be a bit more tempted by our game.

They need to win 10 games out of the last 15, which I just can't see them doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Haven't they won 9 of last 11? Why can't they repeat that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The big question mark to me is the fact that Gouffran and Colback are still playing week after week and coming up against the better teams this could well be an issue - still don't understand to this day how a manager of Rafa's standing keeps playing these 2 when they offer virtually nothing and in Colback's case in certainly a liability. The next 5 games are key and the fact that these 2 will be more than likely in the starting lineup concerns me greatly. Time will tell though and we will see where we are after the Hudderfield game.

Not sure how long you can sustain last minute winners and winning games by the odd goal, as we found out you have shit spells. Their ground is also now being used for rugby, and they tend to have a little whinge every year about the state of the pitch. Can't be easy to sustain an attractive style of football on a cut-up pitch. I'm kinda clutching at straws, I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think we have to move away from this attitude that the championship is a stroll in the park just because we cruised it last time. The teams this time round seem a lot better organised and some of them are led by decent coaches from around the world. Even Mourinho has described this as a very tough Championship after Man U had a hard time against Blackburn at the weekend. We are clear of most of them regardless, but we have to acknowledge that there is a 3 way fight for automatic promotion, and we are going to have to fight for it for a while yet. At least it's keeping it interesting/nail biting to the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 On the plus side I think we were still pretty close to third at this point last time too, however we went 17 games unbeaten till the end of the season from game 29, we're actually on course to do similar already being unbeaten in 5. Edit: It's actually 6 games unbeaten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
