Newcastle midfielder Kevin Nolan is calling for more of the same as the Magpies attempt to drag themselves to the brink of Barclays Premier League safety.
Alan Shearer's men gave themselves a real chance of staving off the prospect of relegation with Monday night's morale-boosting 3-1 derby victory over Middlesbrough.
A second successive home win over Fulham on Saturday, coupled with defeat for Hull at Nolan's former club Bolton, would all but end Newcastle's fears of slipping into the Coca-Cola Championship because of their superior goal difference.
Anything less could open the door once again for Tigers and possibly Boro and even West Brom, and that will be the motivation on another huge day at St James' Park.
Nolan said: "It's about this club being in the best league in the world.
"This club deserves to be in the league, and we all believe, come Saturday, we will put another performance in like we did [against Boro] and we will get the result we need."
The victory over Gareth Southgate's men was just the Magpies' seventh in the league this season, although they have won back-to-back games on two occasions, West Brom and Aston Villa succumbing in quick succession on Tyneside at the turn of October into November, and Joe Kinnear's side following up a 3-0 win at Portsmouth with a 2-1 home win over Tottenham in December.
However, it is perhaps the manner of their derby triumph which has given such cause for optimism as they came from behind amid a tumultuous atmosphere to grab a lifeline.
January signing Nolan, who played a part in all three goals on his return to the starting line-up, is desperate to follow that up in the best possible fashion, but knows Fulham will not be prepared to accept the fate around 50,000 Geordies inside the stadium and many more further afield will wish upon them.
He said: "It's absolutely massive for us now.
"The last time we won was against West Brom, which was a long, long time ago.
"We didn't follow that up with another win, but we have got two home games back-to-back and we have managed to win one of them.
"We have got Fulham, who aren't going to be push-overs, but they are not great away from home."
Ironically, the Londoners themselves staged an astonishing fightback when they had looked doomed at the end of last season, winning four of their last five games to survive on goal difference at Reading's expense.
Under manager Roy Hodgson, they have fared far better this time around, and head into the game on the back of last weekend's 3-1 home victory over Aston Villa, the Magpies' final day opponents, sitting in seventh place in the table.
Like Newcastle, they have won only twice away from home in the league this season, although those two successes have come at Bolton and Manchester City in the last two months.
Nolan said: "They have started to pick up points of late, so we know it's going to be a tough game.
"Any team who comes here is going to want to play. They are going to want to play on that pitch in front of that crowd, so it's going to be tough.
"They have got no pressure on them, but we have got a lot of pressure on us."
