It's a foolish Boro fan that doesn't recognise and respect the Hoodoo. It doesn't matter what form respective sides are in, on the day it's almost guaranteed we will find a way to lose against 2 sides in this league, that's yourselves and Bristol City. Whether it's us suddenly playing like...

From our perspective, the first half today was the worst 45 minutes I can remember us playing under Hellberg. It was a Typical Boro event all over, Robins always seems to set hs stall out well against us. The second half we played more of our usual game, Kim's subs were the right ones, Browne...

I hope he's kept in the job for another 6 games personally, before getting the bullet after a defeat against us, then them having a nice new manager bounce for Ipswich 2 games later. Homes against Oxford & Charlton next up should help.

They were a decent sides when we played them in the reverse fixture tbh. We were top of the table at the time (in fact I think it may have been the game that you jumped us) and had them at home. They were efficient, solid defensively and whilst not pulling up trees in attack, still actually had...

Like Kris says (whilst we're still dominating games, as we always tend to do so) it's much more of an air of efficiently grinding out results as you have been of late, rather than absolutely blowing teams away like we both did earlier in the season. Our results haven't really outshone yours...

Indeed he did. He was part of Wee Ginge Gordon Strachan's patriotic but doomed experiment to bring "The Best of the Best" down from Scottish football in his determined opinion that the Scottish Prem was the same level as the championship, if not a little higher. He spunked our entire parachute...

In a strange twist of fate, your slump was identical to ours, with 3 losses and a draw, it's just that yours was 2 games later amd 1 of the games was in the cup. Ipswich having the very same slump coming up would be delightful.

It's the main reason (using 2 PPG) I suggested 88 points would all but guarantee the autos for a side, aside from a completely freakish run from the side that would finish in 3rd. As 2PPG is the most that I think us AND Ipswich could feasibly BOTH get, considering we have a face off game as...

Snap and I want no parachute teams to go up at all. I'd quite like Preston or Millwall to do the Wembley win, assuming we both get the autos if course.

The average placing of a side we've faced since he came in is 12.8th (yours 11.6th in that period) so average really. 5 Homes, 5 aways, same as you. We have had the most first teamers out injured in the championship in his reign though (quite a few long term, ie will be out for months...

Nah he's right, we're actually the biggest chance creators in the league recently. It's having a striker who can bury them we're lacking. That and our multitude of accomplished yet injured defenders out obviously. Hellberg's average PPG is 1.9, which would see us finish on 85 - 86 points. Of...

Well, looking at the stats of the 3 sides everyone considers "in the mix" for the autos, makes for decent viewing. COV; 19 games remaining, 10 at home, 9 away. Don't have to play Ipswich, Leicester, Brum, Charlton VERDICT; A good ratio of H/A games, not including a very good (and Hoodoo!) side...

Thought you'd win today tbf. You were just going through a standard wobble that every side around the top does, akin to ours? It's just our wobble started a week before Christmas whereas yours didn't begin until after Boxing Day. Guess which side around the top (with 5 wins and a draw in their...

Nah, Ipswich and Boro games were bigger for you than this, potential 6 pointers. This just feels bigger with the gap narrower at the time of KO. Over the whole season the points from this will help, but it's not the biggest.

Looks like your club has it's own particular bunch of bedwetters, much the same as we do🙄 "Would take the playoffs"?? As well as you still being favourites for top 2, they're virtually guaranteed for you anyway at the very least yet he would take scraping 6th right now, such is his fear of the...

See, "substancial 6 figures" to me says about half a million. He's 31 years old so chances are won't have much in the way of resale value unless he hits a purple patch for the second half of this season, by all accounts was decent in the Belgian league, not much to sing about in Germany and...

We're not averse to the odd project tbf. Some work spectacularly, some bomb, that's the nature of the beast, but we are at least trying it now with lads that have played to a high league one standard minimum and/or have played internationally at some level. Leo has played for England up to under...

Aye, there's a hefty sell on clause included I'm led to believe. In terms of asset value, if and when he moves on, even if we get 4M plus for him it's still a profit at least. 2M is a comparatively low risk investment right now anyway, even if he's only been ripping it up at the top end of...

They have disliked the Venkys for a while tbf. Obviously no one would compare to Jack Walker for them, but going back over the last decade and a half, there's been transfer embargos, mismanagement and stupid prioritising in abundance during their tenure (the ridiculous situation of a club...

Course you're still in it, to say the very least. Cov were always going to have a period of low points return like any other side in the league, the difference being that with the points on the board already, they were the side that this slump would affect the least. The key thing here is that...
