Wouldn't get quite so worried, they're only 3 points ahead, if we win and they lose in Saturday we're level, who's to say that can't happen?

Not saying it's impossible but given their squad depth really can't see us competing with them!

Anything is possible but they will be the ones to beat to win the division.

A different kind of pasty
They are only 3 points ahead, and that is because they beat us. Beat them at our place and we're the same, so yes, yes we are sticking with them.

No, we are playing for first, we have a strong squad with competition in every department and are within striking distance.

We're playing for the title. If we fall just short, we'll end up second. But if you aim for second and fail, you're losing in the play-offs again. I have no doubt that we have a dressing room of players with the ambition of being Champions this season, and the quality is in there.
Newcastle have the strongest team and squad in the division but do they have the best team? Prove it.

We won't catch Newcastle's goal difference but we can catch them on points.

Are we keeping up?
Until they're mathematically champions we're playing for first.

Realistically, yes. Newcastle taken 31 points from last 12 games, heading for well north of 100. They have such a strong squad I can't even see them letting up for more than a couple of games at a time.
1st go up.
2nd go up.
Either would do for me.

We're not going to finish above Newcastle. But if they can sweep all before them along the way, then that can only help us hang on to their coat-tails.

It all depends on the January transfer window IMO.

They've already lost more league games than us this season
But they've won 2 more.
Too many draws is what undone us last season.

4:00 I thought we were playing for fourth.
Like that MK Dons miss and Wolves goal (V Burnley) last March, the two goals today at Wigan (68 mins) & Norwich (75 mins) swung it fours points to us.
