Styles make matches and we aren't good enough to play this expansively against a team stacked with an embarrassing amount of quality. Lampard is keen to live and die by the sword and losing games like that is kind of inevitable.

In defence of Lampard, luck didn’t go our way in either match. I thought we edged the 1st half before the goal away from home, and the 2nd was us playing catch up and being punished. At home, their first goal took a fortunate deflection and we had a stonewall penalty turned down

That said, taking the specific events out of it, the better team won both games.

Using Millwall as an example, they could’ve grabbed a goal or two back at 2-0 and 4-0 flattered to deceive and tonight, there were moments where it looked shaky before we scored the winner. Overall, we deserved 6 points from the 2 fixtures.

2nd place is potentially 82pts

8 more wins from 18 for us
Ipswich need 10 from 19
Boro need 11 wins from 19

Boro need to play Ipswich and ourselves away from home. They could be near perfect for the rest of the season but if they lose both those games, I don’t think there’s way they finish in the Top 2.

Haven't Ipswich got about 4 away games on the bounce including the cup. Wrexham away twice in 7 days is tough. They rise up for the big teams/games.
