Have more of a bad feeling and more nervous for this than I ever was for Birmingham. And it's only Monday.

We looked really solid against Blues and the press was really effective so while I understand the caution, why risk breaking up a system that's got us in to this positiion i.e. 3-5-2? I want the same XI and the same approach. We can always change it if it's not working.

Strange journey ahead for me.

I’m away this weekend for my Mother in Laws birthday, however by complete and utter (sort of fortunate) coincidence it’s on the North East coast and about 30 miles from Middlesborough.

Downside is the cottage is in a tiny village in the Moors so the only suitable train to Middlesborough I can get is 90 minutes and an early start. Which is fine, I’m just shitting it that either it doesn’t turn up or gets cancelled!

Think we're 4th for the amount of games lost. If we'd have held on v Swansea at home or Wigan away we'd be qualified now.

Only a point off so many ifs and buts, Watford penalty, even only losing 0-1 to Stoke would probably have been enough.

Concerned they're in the position to be able to take a reserve player red card to absolutely crock Gyokeres...

Think he'll be in for a very physical afternoon

I'm feeling pessimistic and think we'll lose, but also think there's every chance 2 of the other 3 will too!

Think this is similar to what we'll go for, but not sure I could survive 90 minutes of sitting back and holding on...
Really don't like when we just invite the pressure on, it's when we usually blow 1-0 leads

I'd go for the max defence option - Dabo & Bidwell rather than JWE & BNC plus Jamie Allen running around harrasing them rather than Godden

Suspect Robins will not be as pessimistic.

Fear the worst

Not sure why you'd go to set up to try and defend against a team with a good attack and relatively weak defence, particularly when the system you've played most of the season has got you 21 clean sheets anyway and the third best defensive record away from home.

Yes I don’t think we need to do anything different or try and play for a 0-0. Just play our normal game which in itself is very much based on the counter-attack.

Think Robins said they’ll be training hard most of this week, as it was for Birmingham I’d expect everyone to know their roles and instructions inside out.

Take that although they've got Millwall on 70 points, unless I'm not reading it properly.
Unchanged team for me, show faith in the lads and cross all fingers.

Matt Godden appeared in his 12th consecutive matchday squad, if he plays at Middlesbrough it'll have been the most consecutive matchday squads he's been in since he signed.

Yes I assumed that but Millwall can't get 70 points and there's a few other mistakes (eg we get a point in last game but our goal average is different). Tried to read through the how it works but gave up and thought bugger it, we only need to start looking if we go behind!

Millwall v Sunderland Blackburn selected as the Sky live match.

Guess that makes sense, them showing us live against Boro 3 times in a week or so might get a bit boring...

I assumed it was related to old big ears, but I've just noticed that there are PL fixtures on the Saturday.

I thought they were poor yesterday. No reason that we can't win there and do them over in the playoffs.

I fancy us to nick a win to give Middlesborough a bloody nose before the playoffs.

My head, is betting on a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

It unnerves me just how strong first 11 Carrick put out against rotherham. Granted they lost but I'm defo not expecting any favours Monday. We need to treat it as a must win not a must draw

Unfortunately can't see him resting players on Monday apart from anyone with a fitness issue. He'll want to keep everyone fit at this stage for the play offs.
