Rafa Benitez has to follow up that Leeds game and once again tell his team to get at Preston from kick-off.

I can’t believe we are a few Newcastle fans short tonight, let’s fill St James Park tonight for Newcastle v Preston.

Referee and Huddersfield fan Anthony Madley brings back bad memories for one player in particular before Newcastle v Preston,

If there are any Newcastle players who can’t respond to that then they are really at the wrong club.

Tyias Browning “Newcastle did us over earlier in the season and hopefully it will be a different result.”

Simon Grayson “Rafa Benítez has got players in to cope with the Championship and know how to get out of it. “

Andy Boyle “We’ll be going to (Newcastle and) try and spoil the party.”

Preston fans ‘I wouldn’t go back (to Newcastle) even if it was a must win game and the coach and entry tickets were free…’

David Prutton “Having said that though, I see Newcastle pulling their fingers out…”

Preston take only 1,087 tickets for St James Park as match moved to Monday night and Tyneside weekend hopes dashed.
