Boro are play off bound, I truly believe this after watching that.

The only time Blues got in forward quickly they scored, other teams won't play into their hands like Blues did and piss about with the ball as much.

Not so sure. Going to be a tight race between us, Boro & Ipswich (and maybe Millwall, but they have a lot to do).

That is a perfect example of how stats can be used to make any point.

I think you are right. We will end up 3rd.

Thank fuck that's over.

No change at all over the weekend even though it felt like we'd clinched something.

With the greatest of respect couldn't give a flying fuck what you are sure about. I have eyes and they tell me Boro have a weakness that more sensible teams will get at.

Could do with a favour from Hull for it to feel a touch more comfortable, but really can't see that. Reckon Ipswich will batter them.

I hope you're right. They have a favourable run of games now, hopefully they slip up.

Neither will do that (particularly as they play each other). All teams, including us, will drop points. We're in a good place, just need to maintain.

Also, not sure how you got that from what I said. Ipswich are just much better than Hull. I expect us to beat Hull too.

are they, some proper potential banana skins coming up and then they have to play Millwall, Ipswich and Wrexham.

Every chance they win at the weekend but you can bet that QPR aren't going to play into their hands by slowly passing it around the back 4 and midfield and will get it launched at their overrated defence.

Just want Ipswich to lose a couple. Could do with a Hull win tomorrow so one of their games in hand fucks off.

Was just going off the next 6 they flashed on Sky. Millwall toughest game of them. Ipswich & Wrexham towards the end I think.

How many points do you think will be needed for automatics?

Why does it matter that they play them near the ned? Probably worse to go into the last 4 games of the season knowing you likely need to win them all and 2 of them are away at Ipswich and Wrexham.

High 80's for automatic. Maybe 90 for title, not worked it all out fully though.

Predicting results in this league is a mug’s game. It’s just best to assume that nobody will do us any favours so it’s a bonus if they do.

We keep picking up points and eventually the chasing pack will run out of games.

I just said they had a favourable run of games coming up. Didn't say they were all easy. Didn't even say they'd win them all. Also, I think we'll win the league. I know you like arguing the toss for the sake of it, all I said is that it'll be a tight race - 5 points is a nice gap, but it's not insurmountable. I'm not having a flounce. We've just won 4 on the bounce.

Kind of my point, we need to take care of our own business.

Don't think it'll be that low to be honest. I hope it is!

All I have said is I think someone those "favourable" games will be much harder than the game they had today as the other team will actually target their weakness. They fucked up the last 2 favourable games before this.

I think as soon as we rack up 4 wins itll be a case of anything else is just putting icing on the cake.

Win the next 4 and I think the pressure is off.

2 PPG would give us 92. Don't think we'll be far off that.

100%. I wouldn't expect to win the next 4, but it's not impossible (we've had a run like that already this season).

Ipswich and Boro will be looking at our run and saying it's favourable - Southampton tough, but you'd rather play them than another autos contender.
