Outside of The Championship, Luton are putting their parachute payment advantage to good use. Drew with bottom club Port Vale, they are outside the playoffs with most of the teams below them having at least a game in hand.
Ten league defeats in a row for Bristol Rovers is genuinely impressive at this point.

A win and Ipswich & Saints dropping points would be a great day.

Oddly not worried about Middlesbrough or Stoke having the quality to mount a challenge
Don't know if Middlesborough are having a new manager bounce, but they look really good at the moment.

Think the Yanks will get rid of Davies soon, as their dream of a double promotion is fading fast 😂.
Next game is Sheff Utd away. Blues have been dire on their travels. Wouldn't surprise me if the Yanks pull the plug on him. They have had delusional expectations regarding L1 and the Championship. Won't be any easier next season, either.

Middlesbrough are solid at home. W7 D2 L1 and guess who their only defeat at home was against..

We have the best form for both home and away games in the whole of the Championship. Middlesbrough have the second best form for both home and away in the Championship. That's why both of us have pulled away from the rest Screenshot_20251214_071840_Samsung Internet.jpg

Third place is currently on a very low PPG rate.

As it stands second place could be secured with just 77 points this year

Surely we are boro’s bogey side?
We are which is good but I'm also glad I Bristol are too mate, if it goes to plan we will be 8 points a head , obviously not as good at 10 but head towards Jan with a 8 point gap on 2nd and a bigger gap on 3rd plus with a few quality signings in Jan and we're set for a good second half to the season

It’ll be good if Boro lose for sure.
Im not quite ready to believe we’re going up just yet…but I can’t imagine how I’d feel if we don’t!

Every win is vital and massive in this league but yesterdays result felt different, it felt like one of those results you look back on at the end of the season particularly, I don't know why it did for me because we've had so many good results this season but in my gut it just felt like one of those.

Interesting that Ipswich away form is very average Be great to get something at Southampton to set us up for the next 2 at home

Will be amazing for sure mate, just to be able to play against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea , United again
One of my favourites was beating Chelsea first game of the season…twice in a row!

After the 2nd win I heard this big burly Chelsea fan moaning…”it ain’t the team it’s this facking place..”.

What's interesting is Ipswich are 3rd in the home form but 12th in the away. Hopefully a nice 4-0 spanking incoming to right last weeks wrong and put them back below us by a good points margin.

Still in playoff contention though. Do not want them going up. They would spend loads and stay up making it harder for ourselves

PNE, MILLWALL and HULL to join us in premier league please!
You do know only 3 teams go up. So if those e went up.... we wouldn't. Also, we dont want PNE going up. Thats our forst guaranteed L of the season away at Deepdale. Theyre already 3 points better off than us before the season has even begun.

Be nice to play Tottenham, Chelsea, United. Or anyone, really. I dont think theyll defeat us either. I reckon there's a good old chance we'll fight til the game is won.

Be interesting though with FL when we played Chelsea. See what sort of reception he gets from the Chelsea fans sitting in the opposition dugout.
