Aye, it's a wobble for us like. To give Leicester credit (though I know you guys don't like doing that often) they seemed to have turned a Rowett led corner, a lot of their fans were saying it's the best they've seen them play for months now. More of the same when they play Ipswich would be the...

Ipswich could feasibly get 30 points and still miss out. I agree that I don't think they'd need 40 though.

I'm hoping Ipswich get a rearranged fixture dumped in their lap for April 15th. I can dream...

As well as Bielsa, Leeds had acquired minted owners for this level, their recruitment for that season meant it was clear they were going for it. Chucking 10M at us for Bamford the season before being an indicator of where they were going. He was a snip at that price too at the time considering...

I've always thought this too. Everyone says "Oh it's a poor championship this year, because there's no team whalloping everyone like Leeds and Burnley..." Bullshit. Sheff Wed are obviously far inferior to anything in it last year, but lots of the middle sides are packed together primarily...

Ironically enough, if Oxford played nothing but the top 4 all season and got the same results as they have from their 7 of their 8 games played so far, they'd be 9 points and +10 GD better off. Don't know why the hell they don't try to low block every single side in this league tbh (aside from...

He's a decent poster tbh, our "GoTo" stat guy (every board has at least one) He'll generally work out a basic formula, then add variables to the patterns as he goes along to make it more accurate. Obviously anything can happen, but it's a well thought out analysis.

Oh I don't think we'll get 9 points from those 3, fat chance. I'd be over the moon with 7, ok with 5, indeed 4 points if the win came against Ipswich. But it's the Bristol City game that fills me with the most dread, can't be helped.😬

It's the only chance we'd have of beating them. A cursed team.

We might, we might not🤔 If we're the only team that do though then you'd have nothing to worry about under those circumstances. 3 away wins would set you up in good stead mind (as it would us)👍

Using your home form thus far this season as a guide (2.44PPG) if you were to maintain it then you'd be looking at approximately 17 points from your remaining 7 games at the CBS, which would take you to 79 points. Obviously FL won't be banking on this with his approach to away games, but IF the...

I think what made your drop in form appear worse than it actually was was the fact that it had such a high basis for comparison immediately before it. If Swansea for example, who aren't a bad side, but not particularly good either, had had that run of results then no one would have batter an...

That's 99% of what I'm bothered about, aye. I was just being light-hearted and suggesting the very last score that I think Boro v Leicester will be.

Nil - nil mate😜

My Dad always said he saw Sunderland as a bigger rival, them being that bit closer probably helped. Then of course in the 90s we didn't play them for a while, so the Newcastle thing became more pronounced. More recently though it's been Sunderland because we've had more seasons in the same...

There was always pi$s-taking between the two, though that was more intense from the cities themselves, not the surrounding area in Durham so much. It pre-dated any established football league to the 17th century with them as a rule picking sides in the English Civil war, with Sunderland being...

See Boro folk tend to often pronounce it more like "Owee" just to confuse matters more.🤣 Aye, County Durham is a weird one, the northwestern section of it around Beamish say is more Newcastle than anything, Eastern (Seaham etc) tends to be solid Sunderland and the southern strip of it...

I keep an open mind. I don't conclusively believe in their existence or absence, instead I reason that it's beyond my understanding, with my experience inconclusive with proving it in my mind one way or the other. My parents were both catholic and they did. While I'm lapsed in that religious...

That seems like a fair description of my late Dad, bless him. Every so often he allowed himself the chance to get carried away by a particularly spirited performance, but usually he'd fear the absolute worst. I asked him once why he supported them if they made him so miserable (I was about 5 at...

Normally there's a mix on there. There's the doom amd gloom bedwetters, the ridiculously carried away, but the overwhelming majority are in between as you'd imagine. Deep down, the mentality of the nearest to average Boro fan is fearing the worst, but when form is better than it has been for a...
