This feels like quite a pivotal week to me.

Two tough away games for us. One thing in our favour, of sorts, is all clubs have either two home or two away games this week. Whilst that means Newcastle have two home fixtures, both Reading and Leeds are, like us, on the road twice.

However, Reading kick off with a very winnable away game at Birmingham tonight, who I think are yet to win under Zola, and Leeds will fancy their chances at Blackburn too.

TV interest comes tonight in the form of the key mid-table clash between Brentford and Aston Villa. Tomorrow Newcastle's routine 4-0 thumping off QPR will delight Sky viewers.

Tuesday

Barnsley v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Birmingham City v Reading
Brentford v Aston Villa
Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday
Cardiff City v Preston North End
Ipswich Town v Derby County
Nottingham Forest v Rotherham United

Wednesday

Blackburn Rovers v Leeds United
Burton Albion v Fulham
Newcastle United v Queens Park Rangers

Yup, I'd be satisfied with a point from both our games this week.

Have done my bit for the cause.

£5 win accumulator on the 4 highlighted teams @ 22.5/1

Someone's dropping points as I'll not be collecting £117,60.

I think Newcastle fans may remember what happened at a few "winnable" games this season.

Given the majority of their better players have been sold off, and not really replaced, it will be interesting to see if they can keep that form up.

I reckon we'll get 4 points from these two, and I'd be happy with that.

I've a feeling Blackburn will beat Leeds.

Regulation wins for the other three.

More a pivotal month. Seven winnable games but only Burton are bang on 3 points, and even that is scary with Clough giving it the "I'm here to save this club" speech.
30 more points needed, 57 available. 13 in Feb from 21 would be good.

Happy? Keep your hand out of my sight as I'm feeling peckish.

At least Hogan won't be there to face us in the Brentford game now, and hopefully by the time we play Villa it won't matter.

Yep, three draws. So three points out of a possible 21 so far under Zola, which is a very respectable 0.4 ppg (Rowett was on 1.6)

Birmingham fans must be despairing. They looked a good side for the playoffs under Rowett.
Is it too much to hope they can turn that around against Reading?
