Just like the huge amount of sympathy we received last season, after missing out on 89 points. But I take your point. In the majority of seasons 87 or 88 is enough to secure an automatic promotion place. Obviously the Championship is getting even tougher, and more competitive.

Not sure a 0-0 draw at Reading can be classed as dropping points though. They are a good side on their own patch. If I were a Newcastle fan I'd take the point happily enough.

I think you may well be right, that superior goal difference could hold us in good stead too, it's worth an extra point.
