We're not looking to win either to stay top or to make a statement to other sides. We're looking to win to put as many points between us and third as possible. Which I imagine is actually your priority too.

While we'll obviousky go for the win the same as yourselves, which is what we'd hope for, I'd be satisfied with a draw personally. You're at home, we have easier games coming up. Whilst it wouldn't keep the winning run going it would still be an unbeaten run maintained and it would signal the...

It's how Oxford play against the top sides. With good reason too as the low blocking park the bus strategy tends to do fairly well for them when they know they can't go toe to toe as easily. Using their games against the top 5 as a guide, their record reads; P7 W1 D4 L2. Not bad for a side 2nd...

Nah there's fat chance of that. I'm too pissed.

No big surprise, it is at Bramall Lane after all.

Or it could be a mediocre week too. We draw both games say, so it's as you were before this weekend. Tbf tonight could go either way, we could triumph or get our arses handed to us on a plate. But the draw is what I would bet on if I was forced to give my honest prediction.

It's not small talk, it's giving perspective on football matters, which is what this board is for. The only way I'll be bothered by Coventry's scores will be if you're in 3rd as that's the gap that matters. Screw the shiny pot.

Three points I'd make though, firstly Ipswich will pretty soon have a bag full of games to play in a very short space of time if they keep going in the cup. And Hull are blowing hot and cold, they're were $hite to watch today (and the game before that) So either of them romping every game is...

You do know this is impossible right? In fact even assuming everyone else in the top 5 wins every one of their games AND you lose against Boro AND the hopeless Baggies, even when the full time whistle blows on your game at the Hawthorns it's still mathematically impossible for you to be out of...

I'm a Boro fan, there's not a chance in hell that I'm even considering us as all home and hosed when there's plenty of opportunities remaining yet for it to blow up in our faces! Starting away at the Blades on monday which will be a tough old game, though it would be lovely to stick 2 fingers up...

The game reminded me of how we used to be under Carrick for his lst 2 seasons when playing sides down at the bottom. (And even a couple of games hangover of that trend prior to Hellberg - and against Bristol City for Hellberg too, but they're Hoodoo so don't count them) Completely dominate, run...

Nah, don't think Hellberg does mind games tbf, he likes to keep people guessing. It was just a straight up statement for him, when he was a teenager Chelsea were his "English team" which most Scandinavian football fans have (and who were dominant in that period) Their ethos for controlling...

It's generally the most often agreed target on our forum too. It's more likely than it isn't (though not guaranteed of course) that total would be enough for the autos.

It's been almost 22 years since we won anything, though have had the Euro final 2 years later at least. Mind, Promotion to us is 98% the prize. The shiny pot you get for winning the title would be nice, but most of us don't give a toss about it in comparison.

Tbf whilst it's handier for you to stay ahead of us, we're not really the issue or the side to watch that everything hinges on. From our perspective, even if we did overtake you we'd be focussed not on the gap to 2nd, but the gap to 3rd? Promotion is the be all and end all really. So I imagine...

I think the most likely result as it stands will be that we'll get a draw against the Blades, before losing to you at the CBS. From there on in for the remaining 14 games I also think we'll accumulate more points than you to reign that new lead from the first 2 games back in. Whether we'll...

This all day long. I want them to beat Tinseltown to get through Round 4, then beat someone like Bristol City in Round 5. Away from home in BOTH rounds to throw the whole headache of travelling into the mix as well. The opposition strong enough that the game is a right slog and goes to extra...

Pompey are in alright form of late, the cynic in me says watch them be $hit again when it gets rearranged.🙄 Still a bit of fixture pile up can't hurt and our fans are hoping at this rate an Ipswich game gets punted down the road to the 15th April.👍

I'd have been happy with a goalscorer coming in, but other than that I'm content with them. The spare keeper and Munroe probably won't get to play much, Malanda looks awesome at least, Castledine slots in to the side straight away and is a free kick specialist we've needed more of (due to...

Can help you on the Boro January additions bit; First teamers - Malanda (bought in summer, but not added until Jan) Sarmiento Castledine Back up - Munroe Wildsmith
