Bobby Thomas and Jack Rudoni both injured according to Frank, bit of a blow. Lats out probably 2 games, that leaves Woolfendon and Kitching, unless he keeps Bidwell in there and plays 5 at the back, but that seems unlikely when we're at home, especially for Preston, maybe Southampton?

Lati is out for 1 game.

Kitching then, his form wasn't great but maybe a few games out will see things right, it's home as well...

He just had a good 45 mins yesterday..nothing to worry about formwise imo. He's over it.

I’m not sure either

Rushworth is a clear leader
Mve is the clown but a clear leader
Bidwell was so excellent today and having him around as the old timer must be really good
Obviously Grimes by example
Then who?
And I think it’s tricky
Bobby strikes me as a big leader
Rudi the heartbeat
Maybe Lampard and coaches are the leaders

Interestingly who do I look to?

Many players have now done 100 games 3 seasons so maybe there’s just no need for 1 or 2 leaders

Frank the Tank an obvious leader-only have to listen to interviews about him since he joined to realise that.

I’d put Kitching in that category too-in confrontations he’s the first there to back the players.

Leadership comes in many guises though and Latti goes about defending in a very unassuming and professional way-always in the right position and rarely makes a mistake (apart from yesterday’s error!). Wolf a similar character.

Same goes for Bidwell and Allen who are obvious seasoned pros, don’t get the minutes on the pitch that they’ve had previously but can be relied upon if called on. Bidwell yesterday was immense.

It’s definitely an area in the past where a lot of us have criticised the team for a lack of character and back bone but I feel that over the last 3 years you can’t fault the players (& management) for a lack of back bone! (Apart from the odd couple of games).

It’s so refreshing that we’ve got a squad now more than capable covering for injuries and suspensions.

Pretty sure Bidwell is a leader in the squad as well.

Loved yesterday, as much as we continued winning which reaffirmed to me that we can win as many as we need to close this out, I was equally pleased with Ipswich dropping points, they had been winning games and I think they have potential to go on that run so slipping up to Leicester again reminded me that despite the whole squad, additions etc, they are unlikely to just turn round 2/3rds of form for 11 games And if they do, they take points off Bor.
just need Boro to lose or drop points today

Nick I think - I think I prefer to be more humble, plenty of others who do so much more for fans and the club like yourself.
its just a nice time to be a fan and want this to be a perfect finish by winning the league and the best conclusion to this last 8 year journey after the previous 17 years of despair

Three wins and a couple of draws and I think we're there.

That really was an appalling result for Middlesbrough.

Agreed. I thought that last week, but the fact Boro and Ipswich have both dropped points, makes it even more nailed on.

9 points and goal difference ahead of third. With 9 to play, we have to lose 4 to fall out of the autos. With Ipswich and Millwall both needing to match us and win when we lose. It could be sealed really soon if we win another one or two.

Doesn't really matter. As has been said above, those 3 teams all have to play each other. Win win for us.

It really could.
Let’s win those one or two first though!

I genuinely think we now need 10 points to win the league. From 9 games.

I reckon 4 wins.

Not sure I would accept that now though to be honest . 4 wins out of 9 games seems like a poor return.

The way we are going, I would now absolutely love us to stay unbeaten for the final hurdle.

5 wins and 4 draws would give us 96 points!!
6 wins and 3 draws would give us 98 points!!!

I honestly don't want us to lose another game
