...... as they're playing later than us and it's live on Sky.

Newcastle look comfortable at the top and certs for automatic promotion but the next 2 months is where it'll become interesting.

Between now and April 1st they have 9 games but only 3 at home. Not only that, 3 of those games are away to the teams in 2nd, 3rd & 4th plus Norwich in 7th where it all started to go wrong for them last season. Defeats away to Brighton, Reading & Huddersfield could see them out of the automatic places.

Today sees some interesting fixtures down in that division with 3 of the top sides at home.

Brighton v Burton
Leeds v Cardiff
Reading v Barnsley
QPR v Huddersfield
Wolves v Newcastle

If all the home sides win the table would be

Brighton 30 64
Newcastle 30 62
Reading 31 59
Leeds 31 57
Huddersfield 30 55

Wolves should give Newcastle a game but I think a draw is as much as they'll manage .... still, it's live on Sky so worth a watch especially if the others have won and put the pressure on ;)
 

They're going up, 100%. Pointless even talking about them tbh.

Still funny as fuck whenever they get beaten in that division like.

Aye, but you're a complete bullshitter. I've been to one game this season (that was ironically on Sky), so you're wrong. Again.

Good to know you've reverted to type after asking me for my help before.

There's only one period when it might be in doubt and that's the next 9 games ..... only 3 at home and the other top 3 teams away.
