If you were offered a draw now vs Newcastle would you take it?

No way. If we can replicate how we played yesterday we'll win.

What’s it called? Cumbernauld
We are coming back to form at the right time just as there's is taking a slight dip without Gayle they are a bit slow upfront I think they are there for the taking there defence seems more than capable of giving up chances too 3-1

If we were to lose, yesterday's results will really soften the blow. I won't be disappointed with a draw now - although that depends how the game goes - like if they get a dodgy decision in their favour like the FA seem to have instructed I'll be annoyed...

What's the chances that Gayle's 'unavailability' is just a ruse? Wouldn't take the draw anyway - it's a match we CAN win - though wouldn't care to predict we definitely WILL!

Nah

We should believe in our own ability here, we're more than good enough to win the game.

As Huddersfield drew yesterday I'm not sure I would take it now. I wouldn't be disappointed with a draw but a win would put us in an unbelievably strong position with Newcastle playing Huddersfield on Saturday. For once I would gamble for the win.

If we put out the same starting line up again its probably the best time to play them all season. Let's put down the biggest marker possible. Let's hope all the travel options work well and the ground is packed and bouncing for ko.

No chance. Without Gayle I'd say we're slight favourites.

And as others have said, they have a bit of a false impression of us after the match at SJP when we were dreadful.
Sadly he's back in training per a local journalist or something, was on twitter.

The odds suggest we average 1.4 points in this fixture, so it's a no from me.

That doesn't mean he's ok to play, even if it is true. He came off early on Monday, he'll be worried about giving it everything a week later.

No, if we were playing away against a side that have played the other 9 in the top 10 at home, won 8, drawn 1, lost none, scored 19, conceded 4, then I would take a draw, but it is Newcastle that face that prospect.

Edit, we have played the other 8, won 7, drew 1.

Read online last night that Rafa has said he is fit to travel if he feels up to it. Sounds like Gayle isn't yet confident that he is 100% over it. Hamstrings are funny things when it comes to confidence

No.

3 points and Shelvey getting a straight red card in the 5th minute.

It doesn't hurt to keep Hughton guessing at who will be up front for the Magpies, and I suspect that is the main reason for saying he may travel.

Blimey, is that true? Incredible stat.

The 5-0 roasting of Norwich distorts the stat a bit, but yes, it is true-ish we played the other 8, won 7 drew 1, we have not yet played ourselves. Edited
