tonights the night then.
the mighty Seagulls take on the barcodes in what has been billed as the title decider ,yeh ok ,there is still a dozen games after this one .
must say though if the Albion can inflict some damage tonight then maybe the terriers can do the same to them on saturday.
whatever the outcome from tonights match i will be watching .

Do you care if you win the league? Surely going up is all that matters.

Newcastle are having a little wobble but playing away may suit them. They wont have their own fans groaning at them and stressing them out.

Huge win for Newcastle last night. Had they lost they could have wobbled a little and been nervous for the Huddersfield match. Now they have some wiggle room to play with and will go into the weekend feeling good.

I expected more from Brighton, not seen them before. Any Brighton fans on here? How did you feel about the display last night. I thought the gap between the two teams would be tight but on overall play I thought Newcastle looked a level above. I accept the chances count may be in Brighton's favour but on overall play and considering they were at home I was disappointed.

it was a sub standard performance from Brighton ,and the fluke goal put the toon right back in the game ,and they ended up the better team on the night.hopefully saturday will see the terriers get a draw with the toon and Brighton beat forest ,that will be useful for Brighton.

Norrin - I am pleased to hear that was not normal for them. I'd like to Brighton go up. They seem to have a good set up, play the right way and have been on the edge for a couple of seasons now. If they don't go this year then it will get harder I suspect.

I would think Newcastle winning is the best result for you. Only Huddersfield can stop you getting promoted. Give up the title, just get promoted. No one cares who wins the division, only that you go up.

Coventry sack Russell Slade and the news is Mark Robbins will be appointed in the morning.

Not much chance of getting a beer in Reading tomorrow with The Toon in town. Think we'll see if Fulham really have play off credentials after Leeds visit and we go to Newcastle. Think I know the answer sadly

I think you are our main danger of missing out on the play offs, so hope you lose both games.:ears:

Oh and I will be having a beer in Reading tomorrow. Hopefully not drowning my sorrows. Come on URRZZZZ.

Where you planning to have a beer. Might even pop in and buy you one. I hope you can soften them up for when we go up there at the weekend

We have our beers in a nice members bar inside the ground. A perk of being a season ticket holder. Don't think they will exert themselves too much against us.:whistle:

Brighton have the easiest fixture tonight and could close the gap on the top spot dependant on how Newcastle fare against Reading

The mighty Terriers 🐾🐾🐶 are looking to bag some Villians so a couple of draws for Dirty Leeds and the hoops would suit us fine, in fact, I could cope with Foolham nicking the result.

Our game in hand is all well and good but points on paper are much better, I would like to see some daylight between us & the hoops and the Lilly whites.
