Head draw, Heart Villa win

Trust Newcastle to let us down. One season wonders that's all they are.
We must win on Tuesday.

or what?

Or we're all going to die!!!

Losing just doesn't bear thinking about.  We'd be two points behind them and they'd still have a game in hand.

I'd be more worried as Reading are the worst team in the league and will finish bottom imo.

They were still too good for Everton last week though.....2-2 draw

If we're going to stay clear of trouble then a home game against Reading needs to return 3 points. TBH, any of the possible three results would hardly surprise and Reading seem to have picked up a little recently. Hoping for to win by a goal or two but a frustrating draw is probable.

Why do we play our midweek games on a Tuesday? Traditionally we have always been a Wednesday club!

McLeish changed it as he prefers Tuesdays. Maybe Lambert's the same.

It makes sense when it's back to back home games as we don't have to travel and extra 24 hours to prepare for QPR.

[Matt Collins]

We may also benefit because not too many of our players have played most matches this year. Only really Lowton, Clark have played every match

Pretty much sums it up for me too although no result would surprise me. Hope it's not Bolton all over again, that was a desperate night.

[Steve kirk]

We need the win so badly but I think we will end up with a point, any news on whether Vlaar will be fit for the game?

Massive game,Gunnar go for a 3-1 win!

And if we win on Tuesday we're only 1 point behind them and they've lost some pretty winnable games in recent weeks. You look at that team today without Cabaye and Ben Arfa and it doesnt make good reading. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world to see them down in it come the end of the season imo
