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

I've just got the book published and it's on it's way, you can pick it up at the CBS at Oxford's visit.👍

They're buying him with next season in mind obviously.

False modesty my arse. Like I've already said previously, I'm over the moon with how we're doing. I'd be a complete plantpot not to be, especially when weighed up against how our last decade has gone overall. And I'm certainly not hiding it. But I've had over 40 years of supporting Boro now and...

Nah, rest assured we'll give you the boost in morale that you need🤣 We have more confidence in mirroring your early season run by beating the Blades, then winning our next 5 on the bounce (right before we get beat by Bristol City of course, another hoodoo) after we face you, than we have of...

The Plump Lass still remains silent bud. None of us are guaranteed the Prem yet, but conversely it's Hull that I'm wary of right now. Bloody champo seesaw!

I'm enjoying our resurgence, I'd be stupid not to. But we could finish 1st or 2nd and I truly wouldn't be bothered, right now we aren't the side for you to focus on and I'm not too focused on our points in relation to yours either. From our perspective it was important that we get them in the...

You do know it's still the same gap to 3rd as before kickoff? Preston have forgotten their crap form, have turned up at Portman Road and are giving Ipswich a game so far.

Quite true. However Derby are just one side. If Derby were in 6th and Norwich 7th, but 12 points behind them with a game in hand, then I'd agree with you. But that's not the case. Mathematically you could even argue that they were 50% likely to overtake Derby, it wouldn't make much of a...

Conversely, I don't think they have what can be described as having a "good chance of the playoffs" at all. I think they have a very slim chance indeed (which of course is better than no chance) The reason being that they're 12 points off them with 17 games to go. Now if it was just a case of...
