Delighted to see Leicester pick a point up last minute it might keep their gaffer in a job for a few more weeks

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.

Boro seem to have a bit of luck on their side at the moment in terms of meeting/beating an injury ravaged Stoke team, a Southampton team that just went off the boil after a decent start under their new manager. Now they are about to face a Preston team that's in really poor form. I'm waiting for them to slip up as Ipswich seem hell-bent on running the table. We just have to keep grinding out results to stay 1 step ahead and can't count on any favours from anyone.

This place is mad, we've just won 2 tough games and for the first time will have a full squad and the ability to rest key players and there's folk flapping it because Boro squeaked wins against t eams they should be beating easily?

Fucking hell lads, get a grip.

We're guaranteed to be in top spot going into February and in the top two to the 7th.

Every win we get and points dropped by the other two pushes that date closer to the end of the season.

We're in a fantastic spot.

They'll be listing all of the players who are too poor for the PL, instead of taking time out to celebrate going up.

It'll be 100% worse starting September. We'll be getting walloped 7-1 by mighty Brentford and the meltdowns will be unbearable. Jamie Allen scores, though. He deserves a Premier League start as a retirement gift.

Their attention will turn to Doug and how he isn't spending millions on players

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 had an awesome game from start to finish. Castledine looked tasty and in a landmark moment Conway scored. Ironically enough we actually played better overall in some of our Christmas fixtures when we got almost sod all (as usual for that time of year)

Tbf we're that far indebted with bad fortune from the main part of the season that we'll take payback in droves from Lady Luck here and there, Stoke missing a sitter late on being such an instance.

Don't know why so so many on here are $hitting their collective pants though, we'd need 10 points more than you in 17 games to finish higher, when you factor in the extra point needed for GD and the given of you getting the 3 points against us at the end of Feb as the Hoodoo does what comes naturally.

Not that that is our main focus; we just need to accumulate more points than Ipswich, and our remaining overall fixtures are better than theirs, though get the idea it may be tight!
