Habib Beye: "If we want to have that sort of atmosphere every week in St James's Park it is down to us to do our best to inspire this sort of crowd.
Best Atmosphere At St James' Park In Two Years!
"They have waited to see the team play the way we did on Monday, and the atmosphere was just amazing. Since I came here two years ago it's the best atmosphere I've seen.
"The fans are always behind us but if we want this quality of atmosphere all the time, and this type of game, then it's up to us.
"It won't be easy, we need to work very hard to win the game. If we win we will go to (Aston) Villa with confidence. If we don't get a result, if we don't get any points, there will be more pressure at Villa, and it's never easy to play them with pressure.
"Hull will be doing everything to win (at Bolton, also tomorrow), and save their place in the Premier League but we can't wait on them to lose. If
we win our games we will be safe. Winning on Monday was so important because it was the first time we went above Hull, with the goal difference. It was massive for us to get out of the bottom three.
"When the own goal went in I just thought 'Well sometimes this happens'.
"I'm 31, I'm not a young kid. When I scored an own goal at the start of my career it was really hard, I was 21. Now I'm 31 I know the game is never over and I can't do anything about an own goal once it's gone in.
"You can't be sorry for yourself after four minutes, and not play any more. Straight away I knew we had to go forward and try and get our confidence back. I didn't think about the (own) goal for the rest of the game. It was really unlucky but I just said 'We must come back, keep playing and win the game'.
"I knew with the quality and the spirit we have we could do that. I don't want to say it helped us, but when you get a setback like that it makes you come out and try to make it right.
"We started the game really badly, giving Middlesbrough a goal. But because we kept pushing and pressing them we scored after nine minutes, and then went on to win the game.
"But it's not enough, it's not the end of our season.
"We have six points to go for before then and I hope and believe we can get them."
