Logic says we ok.
Think correct as follows :
18 matches remain
9 home including 3 v current bottom 4
9 away including 7 v current bottom half

Much rather play teams around the bottom 4 nowish, than with say 3 games to go, when they often put in super humanly efforts to nab points and often pull off shocks

There is no hoodoo. We've just got the better of you in the last few games because, for the most part, we've played better than you in them.

Prior to the play offs, our modern record against you was nothing to write home about, and you did the double over us the season before.

If both teams are in form, it will be a good quality, evenly matched game with whoever is more clinical coming out on top. No guarantee of a result, in other words.

It's a foolish Boro fan that doesn't recognise and respect the Hoodoo.

It doesn't matter what form respective sides are in, on the day it's almost guaranteed we will find a way to lose against 2 sides in this league, that's yourselves and Bristol City. Whether it's us suddenly playing like puddings, the opposition performing out of their boots, or just sheer bad luck, we WILL lose those games if at all possible. In the same way that Deepdale is a Hoodoo ground of sorts for yourselves and it seems this season, Ipswich.

It would almost be fitting to think the 3 sides in the mix cancel each other out though; There's no way we're getting a single point against you, there's no way you were getting a single point against Ipswich and I'm hoping there's no way they get a point against us (we've beaten them earlier in the season anyway)

Maybe we're a pessimistic bunch in this regard, but we have reason to be. We don't fear anyone else apart from yourselves and Bristol though. Respect yes, but don't fear in the slightest. We'll lose the odd game against others, it happens, but we don't view it as nailed on.

Deepdale is a 'Hoodoo ground of sorts'???

It's absolutely fucking cursed, needs to smashed to rubble and the earth salted!

Even if we played against the rubble and the salted earth we'd probably just about manage a 0-0.
