I'll give it a go mate;

Happy weekend, can't catch you, have head start on Ipswich. They bigger squad, more dosh, less injuries, us slim points advantage, better fixtures.

Better? Doesn't read as well mind.

Conflicted- they've got to play Boro and Ipswich yet so an upturn would be nice, but then what's happening at the moment is very, very funny.

Great result for Birmingham Shitty and their piles more of multi million pound signings against a Stoke team with about 2 fit players. Chimney molesting freaks.

This is grammatically speaking, way more at the level of the other Middlesbrough fans I know. I even read it in your accent.

And back to reality.

No game is easy in the Championship unless you have Sheffield Wednesday and even then nothing is guaranteed. Yes we have to put the points on the board but so does everyone else. We have the points on the board with a good GD. I'm at ease with this.

If in every 6 games. Ipswich win 4 draw 1 lose 1 they get to 89 points
Win 3 draw 1 lose 2 gets us to 88.
that’s a massive difference

it really is only ourselves who can stop us now

That's exactly what Ipswich have achieved in their last six games, despite losing today.

We need to win on Monday to achieve that, in what by then will be our last six.

Just rewatched the highlights of the Sheff U game

The ball from Hamer and finish by Cal for the first goal was lovely

Same for the last goal and great finish by Bamford.

Would love love love it if we could get Hamer back here

We need to shoot on sight against them next week, their keeper at fault for those 2 goals at the end. Doyle’s was unstoppable.

I just cannot see them having a perfect month with those 5 away games in a row.

They surely drop points in those games, and if they dont then fair do's!

We appointed Mark Robins as our manager in March 2017, since when we have had him and FL as our manager/head coach.

Marti Cifuentes is Leicester's eighth manager/head coach since they sacked Ranieri in February 2017 and it looks as if they will soon be appointing a ninth.

The above excludes caretaker appointments.

Ipswich injuries


McKenna said at his pre-match press conference that a player, not named, had picked up a knock in training this week. Asked if that was Davis, he replied: "No, we lost Ashley Young during the week so we had to make a couple of decisions.

"Today, to be honest, the team selection (five changes) had to do with freshness and protecting players.

"Because we've gone from a fully fit squad to now having Chuba (Akpom), Jaden (Philogene), Nacho (Marcelino Nunez) and Ash (Young) out, all with pretty significant injuries, all of them.

You seem to overlook the variable that makes your summation work - our continued form.

I’m just being realistic.

I was thinking more the Kai Wagner one I’d highlighted, where he’s shot from the left and almost hit the corner flag on the same side. Might actually go searching for a video of it.
