MATCHDAY QUOTES
"The worst is over.
“It's all down to renewed confidence and self-belief.
“We have shown consistency at last after our disaster against Birmingham City and the team spirit and morale have never been higher.
"Newcastle should provide an accurate measure of our improvement but after the recent performances I have no doubt at all that we are equipped survive.”
Graham Turner.
"We never once let our heads drop when we went behind and we always looked capable of getting back.
"By the end we thought we could have taken all three points."
Allan Evans.
