Yeah, same here. It'll surely impact the players if we were to lose again too. It's not a must win because of positions in the table. It's a must win because we need to arrest this run of results.

If you can’t stand the heat with 3 months to go, you’re in for a real nightmare

Game in hand though remember. We just need to get back to winning games consistently. If we don't, then we won't go up. It's as simple as that.

Can remember the exact words but I cannot believe people were saying we were basically uncatchable.

It's a fucking dog fight now.

.all city have to do is move the ball quickly around the pitch! No pondering about it just pass 1 touch football you cannot mark against it unless they foul.

Same boat - but Boro would still have to get another 4 points to overtake us even then. My only concern over the next 2 games is missing Bobby Thomas. After he's back, I think we'll pick up a lot. Need at least 4 points from the next 2 imo.

We need to not be reliant on individual players. If one defender being out is an issue, then we haven't got a strong enough squad.

We've been saying almost the same thing the last few months (i.e. We're clear of 3rd by 13 points, 12 points, 10 points and now 8 points). I might we be more at peace if Boro was the 3rd placed team rather than Ipswich who are almost certain to grab one of the auto spots. We cannot allow Boro to grab the other.

They have to win the game in hand. They have a run of 5 away games in a row coming up. You lot make out that we will lose every game and the others win them all. It isnt going to happen like that.

is it an issue?

Will tomorrow be the first time he will have started with the rest of the first choice back 4?

Can't remember him starting with them? Wrexham had MvE and JDS out, he's played in a 3, Ipswich JDs was out, Southampton it was him and Lati and they played really well, Stoke was lati and bidders and wilson.

Im not denying that but listening on here yoiu would think we wont win any of our last 20 games. People here cant handle pressure being top. Imagine it next season if we go up and lose every week. Suicide rates could reach an all time high.

A player who couldn’t get in to pompeys team and another who can’t get in to palaces and was just decent in the champ.

They are very underwhelming in the circumstances we are in.

Franks giving everything. The fans are filling everywhere and spending a fortune in the shop and this is all frank gets?

Mad that Middlesbrough are so close having only won 1 of their last 5 before this. Lost 3 of those too.

Ours has been over a longer period tbf, although lost less. Draws have hurt us - particularly Preston & Charlton (and to a degree Southampton).

Boro are not infallible, I thought they were poor tonight

They will drop a few points

yes we need to win games to go up but after that i'm more confident boro will drop points against better teams

Sky -Talking about how the gap has diminished and how they feel that although Boro are in form, "Ipswich are coming" talking about the potential quality players they are looking to bring in. (Despite it being WBA Vs Boro)

Or flip it another way - a £14 million player, and another that Real Madrid have been chasing.

Think it's perfectly reasonable to talk about that given the context of where Boro are.

Mboro showed tonight how you can beat them! If West Brom had pushed on after equalising they would have won it

Bought out SISU, bought the ground, we're here at the top of the league, with Esse ( cost £13.5m) brought into the fold. Supposedly another player coming next week. Yet you want to have a go at the Chairman? P.S. If you think profit for takings in the shop are going to fund a 'statement signing', you're deluded. Anyway, let's win tomorrow, and all's well.

Boro are a bit like us. Dangerous going forward, but if you have a real go at them they're a bit vulnerable.

It was basically fools lapping up Opta saying we’ve more or less won it at the start of December.

All the elements that made us the best team in the league are still there. We've just been a bit stretched over the busy Christmas period.
