Who will we beat? (11 Viewers)

If we are serious about getting promoted in the Automatics then we have to beat Boro. We have lost twice to Ipswich and they definately have the psychological edge over us and will probably win the league. They are better than us there is no denying that.

I like FL analogy, and everyone says it but few follow it, TAKE ONE GAME AT A TIME. Every game is losable, drawable and winable it's up to the team to see how they challenge them and thus far they have been remarkably successful.

They're better than us in a head to head because our way of playing plays right into theirs. But over 28 games we have been the better side, including a poor start from them and a poor run of games when most of our squad was ill.

Agree with the first bit. I think they were playing badly at the start of the season, they have clicked in to gear now and i cant see them loosing more than a couple of games their squad is very strong and big.

I'm absolutely confident we will win at least 3 more away games, and won't lose all of the remaining 6.

Let's see how they get on when every game isn't at home. Saturday's game will be their first away game this month.

Something no one else seems to have mentioned either is that our goal difference whilst still excellent has really been reduced by Ipswich who now seem to be scoring two or three every game whilst we are either drawing or winning by the odd goal.
on boxing day our goal difference was +16 over Ipswich our nearest gd rival.
Its now down to +7

And presuming it would matter would mean they would definitely go ahead of us

Yes I thought this also. If Middlesboro power to title, then our assumed total supremacy on goal difference is under threat if us and Ipswich are level on points.
