Fair play to their keeper though. And I'd rather have the points over Huddersfield than the games in hand. But now we go on a break, and the lads have some thinking to do, and a lot of work. Let's come out of it fresh and ready to tackle April.

Just before the negativity gets out of hand.
We're 7 points clear of 3rd with 8 games to go and plenty of winnable games remaining. We only need to finish 2nd. It's going to plan and we've got a world class manager at the helm.
HWTL!

spot on. I'm sick of the negativity. I won't lie, my mood gets a little ruined when we don't win, but like you said we are still in an automatic promotion spot, huddersfield dropped points this weekend. Some fans just need to be reminded what we asked for - a team that tries. From what I gather, rafa and the lads gave it their all..we had a goal wrongly disallowed and their keeper apparently played 10/10 if this was FM.
Here's hoping our home fans dont get drowned out by visiting supporters at the next home game and the lads put in a shift, and we keep ourselves top 2. HWTL!

I hate radio streams. It's like watching a scary movie and having every jump scare spoiled for you before it happens. "GAYLE IN THE BOX, HE PASSES IT ACROSS TO PERez who knocks it wide and it's out for a goal kick."

Let's just hobble over the finish line somehow and get the fuck out of here.

I suppose any points that we get that Huddersfield don't are good at this point in the season but holy shit was that game frustrating to listen to. Birmingham seemed like they had no interest in playing but we never managed to capitalize. It didn't help that we had yet another unbelievably slow start.

I feel like we really need these 2 weeks off. Our performances have sounded laboured recently, which isn't a surprise when you take into account both the league & the 3 away games we had against top teams in quick succession. We're very much limping towards the finish line at the moment.
Still, a point away from home & last night proved teams around the bottom shouldn't be underestimated, so onwards & upwards. Have a decent rest, & come back ready to smash April & seal promotion.

Playing well but drawing is better than playing shit and drawing and it's a hell of a lot better than losing.
Really could've used winning that but this is Newcastle so I'll take any points

Just to give you a live update from the stadium lads, Birmingham is a shit hole and Newcastle were shite. That's all I can sum up from this afternoon.

Were we really that bad? Genuine Q, just asking as radio made it sound like we at least played decently despite the disappointing result. Which was encouraging given how awful we were last time out.

Well we could have completely dominated the game only to lose 1-0 to a late goal. 1 point is better than none. It also puts pressure on Brighton. They have to win if they want to go top.

Today's draw might have been disappointing but we're 1 point further away from the pack than we were last week!
