Some of that 11 won't make it

Sounds like a possible season ender. 'At least 6 weeks'

Win on Saturday and there's a strong probability we would already have enough for play offs with 7th spot (Southampton) currently tracking at 68 points. Winning the next two would definitely secure it.

If Bristol City win their FA cup game they will have played 8 games to our 5 before we face them. They also play Boro away 3 days before our game. You'd expect them to be physically exhausted by that schedule.

A win for us Saturday lunchtime could be massive. It puts pressure on Ipswich and Hull, both with 2 games before we play again on Wednesday evening.

Nicely set up for his return to West Brom 😉

Despite winning 11 of those in the reverse fixtures? It’s achievable but we have to get back on form now, no excuses.

I want to see the opposite of our approach to the Ipswich game. In their faces and none of this timid backing off and letting them have the ball.

And need to repeat that ideally.

Boro collapse. That's what they've done for a few seasons now and hoping for the same again. As for us, can we get back on the horse and start winning again?

Third option is to go all out and still end up relegated. That is why clubs of our stature tend to be conservative to avoid financial meltdown.

That’s what they’re doing at Blues, with an 11% interest on borrowing. Ouch!

To give a flavour of the wildly different path this could take from now. This time last season Sunderland and Burnley were on the same number of points and finished 24 points apart! I don’t think we’ll do a Sunderland, but can’t see us matching Burnley either given our defensive frailties...

Looks like light rain for the most part. Just means they won’t water it, unlike QPR last week.

Boo!!!!!

Boro and Ipswich will do. They can lose the rest!

No, but he can cut out more at source and stop the 30 yard run at our defence that we’re giving our opposition.

It does feel increasingly like this will be our last signing (if it happens), with an announcement at 6pm stating 'and that concludes our business'. I'm not necessarily unhappy with that as an outcome.

'We are top of the league' is literal, but I've never been comfortable hearing it with so much of the season left.

Only if Boro win both of theirs.
