I couldn’t hate Preston anymore.

When we scraped a draw against ten men up there this site were confident they were a good side. They’re fucking shite.

At that time they were in the top 6, so couldn't have been that bad at that time

We’re going to have to beat them at home, let’s hope we can deal with the pressure.

We spanked them at their place in a pressure match. We'll be fine.

I don't, things can change quickly and although we didn't look good a times we looked a lot better than Christmas and we now have a strong bench at the moment, to the point that monday FL will need to drop 2 players from the squad Allen/Bidwell/Wolf

Right but away games at shite teams are on a par with home games against decent sides raising their game.

Did Leicester really raise their game or were we just below our best to even the playing field?

Milwall are decent but I wouldn't put them significantly better than the Preston team.

Will take the 6 points but we need to raise our levels from the last two matches, think it's risky to think that level of performance will get us the necessary points between now and the end of the season.

Millwall are justifiably in the top 6 and looked a well managed side. Lesta fans agreed it was the best they had played in a long time.

Still laugh when I was told on here that I was a shit fan for prioritising the league title over second place cos I didn't want Middlesbrough to beat Derby earlier in the season

Apparently Boro winning increased our chances of top 2

Idiots

All teams are gonna have purple patches. The good thing for us is we don’t need to be great to finish high.

We’ve beaten two good sides in Leicester and Millwall. Have some faith in the lads who’s got us here

This is starting to put us under pressure now. It's important that we deal with it well in the two upcoming away games. On this form I can't see Middlesbrough doing anything other than beat Norwich next Saturday.

We could well be out of the top two before the end of February. That doesn't mean we can't climb back up again but the team will need to keep its nerve.

Boro were already in the auto's race. We were about 13 points clear.

The reason we have been dragged back into the race is because we had a sub par month or so

Can someone please confirm to me we have just won 2 really hard games, tuened around our christmas form and are 6 points clear. I don't think I'm sure reading this thread. Don't get me wrong it could all fall apart, but there's nothing to suggest that, when we were playing really well we took all the points we could to help when we went through a bad patch, which was always going to happen. Boro and Ipswich have also had a bad patch

If Boro had 2 less points it would be massive . It's as simple as that

I was right. It's not a troll.

Well at that point we were almost just as close to Derby as we were Boro I believe.

If you listen to people on here Ipswich and Boro are guaranteed to win every game now and we won't beat anybody

Don't really care what boro or ipswich do we focus on ourselves and win games. We beat Norwich monday boro will think they won a game 3 0 and gained no ground that will start playing on there brains

Not panicking. Long way to go yet and our form would have to drop off a cliff for us to fail now. This is an easy game for them. We'll have easy games too.

It's just we've gone from 3 points ahead, to 9 and now back to 3. Really need to start getting a few away wins. At least Lampard knows about being at the top

Both really good results.
If Leicester had Millwalls attitude they'd be top of the league, fortunately they're a bunch of wage thieves but they still possess quality.
