At that time they were in the top 6, so couldn't have been that bad at that time

We spanked them at their place in a pressure match. We'll be fine.

I don't, things can change quickly and although we didn't look good a times we looked a lot better than Christmas and we now have a strong bench at the moment, to the point that monday FL will need to drop 2 players from the squad Allen/Bidwell/Wolf

Did Leicester really raise their game or were we just below our best to even the playing field?
Milwall are decent but I wouldn't put them significantly better than the Preston team.
Will take the 6 points but we need to raise our levels from the last two matches, think it's risky to think that level of performance will get us the necessary points between now and the end of the season.

Millwall are justifiably in the top 6 and looked a well managed side. Lesta fans agreed it was the best they had played in a long time.

Still laugh when I was told on here that I was a shit fan for prioritising the league title over second place cos I didn't want Middlesbrough to beat Derby earlier in the season 
Apparently Boro winning increased our chances of top 2

All teams are gonna have purple patches. The good thing for us is we don’t need to be great to finish high.
We’ve beaten two good sides in Leicester and Millwall. Have some faith in the lads who’s got us here

Have to think long term. Less chance Derby were gonna be in autos race compared to Boro.

This is starting to put us under pressure now. It's important that we deal with it well in the two upcoming away games. On this form I can't see Middlesbrough doing anything other than beat Norwich next Saturday.
We could well be out of the top two before the end of February. That doesn't mean we can't climb back up again but the team will need to keep its nerve.

Boro were already in the auto's race. We were about 13 points clear.
The reason we have been dragged back into the race is because we had a sub par month or so

Can someone please confirm to me we have just won 2 really hard games, tuened around our christmas form and are 6 points clear. I don't think I'm sure reading this thread. Don't get me wrong it could all fall apart, but there's nothing to suggest that, when we were playing really well we took all the points we could to help when we went through a bad patch, which was always going to happen. Boro and Ipswich have also had a bad patch

If Boro had 2 less points it would be massive . It's as simple as that
I was right. It's not a troll.

Well at that point we were almost just as close to Derby as we were Boro I believe.

It's in our hands, other teams will win games, all we need to do is win enough of our games including Middlesbrough

Yes I'm aware. I could see Boro were the bigger threat. Clearly some couldn't.

If you listen to people on here Ipswich and Boro are guaranteed to win every game now and we won't beat anybody

Don't really care what boro or ipswich do we focus on ourselves and win games. We beat Norwich monday boro will think they won a game 3 0 and gained no ground that will start playing on there brains

It's just we've gone from 3 points ahead, to 9 and now back to 3. Really need to start getting a few away wins. At least Lampard knows about being at the top

Both really good results.
If Leicester had Millwalls attitude they'd be top of the league, fortunately they're a bunch of wage thieves but they still possess quality.
