MAGPIES PRAISED
Alan Shearer cancelled out Nathan Blake's opener to earn a point, and Robson said: "Considering we played on Thursday night I can't give my team enough credit.
"Not many managers would have agreed to play this game but we did and it was a commendable effort."
He added, "I'm not saying the top three is totally conclusive but can anybody catch them? I would say realistically no.
"With all due respect to Wolves these are the games we have got to pick three points up from."
Wolves boss Dave said: "At 1-0 up we started to do one or two sloppy things and we got punished for them.
"But everyone did their jobs and I can't take anything away from my players. We gave them a good game and on another day the chances would have gone in."
