We dropped 2 points late into stoppage time last night to allow Leeds United to snatch a 1-1 draw and Brighton gain another two points on us – they are on 89 points to we have 85 points after a poor run of 9 points from our last 7 games since we won at Huddersfield 3-1.
We are throwing the Championship away with some nervous play in these last several games and we are limping over the automatic promotion finish line.
We cannot blame anybody else but ourselves and we will have to be a lot tighter next season – but Rafa will already know that.
On the positive side we were excellent tonight but I was more devastated than I should have been at the end – but that’s the way it is for me these days.
Why do Newcastle always make things difficult?

Here are some of the tweets from Geordie fans and even a local journalist.

If you booed at full time tonight don’t bother coming to the Preston match just watch it on Sky. #NUFC #PNEFC

#nufc fans extremes always annoy me. We’re never just “ok”/”disappointing”. We’re either dog shit & want to kill everyone or 1970’s Brazil

Conceding a last minute goal isn’t outstanding. Winning that match would have been outstanding but we didn’t do that. #nufc
