Newcastle United will probably still be able to toast promotion in a few days, but they let the glass slip through their fingers against Leeds United as Chris Wood's equaliser, deep into injury time, denied them victory. Leeds still have some work to do if they are to secure a place in the promotion playoffs but the late leveller leaves them in fourth place - three points ahead of seventh placed Fulham.
"Their objective at the start of the season was very clear, to win automatic promotion, and they are on course to do that", Monk said, quoted on www.leedsunited.com.
Rafael Benitez's men are eight points ahead of third-placed Huddersfield with four games remaining - the Tykes have one in hand - but are now four points adrift of leaders Brighton, while Leeds have strengthened their grip on a play-off berth.
Leeds suffered a 2-0 defeat when Newcastle visited Elland Road in November earlier in the season and will be keen for revenge this evening. "We have to try to win, and it doesn't matter the name of the team".

Newcastle looked comfortably in charge but then deep into injury time, Roofe floated a ball in from the left and New Zealand global Wood, broke free of his marker and confidently slotted home.
"Newcastle are obviously one of the best sides in the league".
"I'm not down, I am just so upset, because there have been so many games where I see things I don't understand", said the former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager, referring to the decision to add on five minutes at the end of the game.
Newcastle appeared to have done enough to close out the result having dominated the match at St James' Park.
