In fairness, probably not a game we go into for the rest of the season as underdog unless our form dips.
In fairness, probably not a game we go into for the rest of the season as underdog unless our form dips.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.
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).
80.92 for titleIts interesting as Opta has 84 for Title and 82 for Automatics.
The home form has held up throughout all the streakiness on the road. If it continues to we’re in business.Were super streaky under Lampard. I wouldn’t be surprised if we win six or seven in a row again or four of the next five.
Is it just me that thinks that Mandala is a complete donkey?
He's ok, not the 2nd coming of Baresi they painted him to be though.Is it just me that thinks that Mandala is a complete donkey?
You're being very naughty againYes I reckon both Ipswich and Boro win every game for ther est of the season
I listened to the large majority of that game in the car travelling up to Cov . It was a very poor game but Pompey were the better team for certainMy folks said Hull were really lucky against them. All Pompey apparently.
Not as bizarre as the scenario of some of our fans wanting them to beat Birmingham last night.We’re going to end up with the slightly bizarre scenario of wanting Boro to beat Ipswich
It's not THAT bizarre (though Ipswich somehow imploding between now and our head to head, leaving them 11 points behind you and us 4 behind you say, with 4 to play, which I CAN'T see happening, we'd actually be the win to actually send you up, but would the lesser satisfaction of the title kick in for you by then? All academical anyway) as I think more would like to see another non-parachute side go up and you're more likely to get points off us than Ipswich next season.We’re going to end up with the slightly bizarre scenario of wanting Boro to beat Ipswich
Surely a draw would be betterWe’re going to end up with the slightly bizarre scenario of wanting Boro to beat Ipswich
It depends.Surely a draw would be better
Our worst run of form over an 11 game period this season was Ipswich (h) to Norwich (a), over which period, we managed to accumulate 15 points.And will get more than that.
This is interesting.... so bar a complete and utter collapse and a string of losses...Our worst run of form over an 11 game period this season was Ipswich (h) to Norwich (a), over which period, we managed to accumulate 15 points.
If we were to replicate that, it would put us on 86 which would probably be there or thereabouts for promotion.
All we need to do is not be as shit as we were at our shittest and we're there!!

We're not going to know what a favourable result is until all the prior games have been played. As it stands today a win for either of them would be most beneficial.We’re going to end up with the slightly bizarre scenario of wanting Boro to beat Ipswich
As it stands I would prefer to gain two points on both of them as opposed to 3 on one and 0 on the other.We're not going to know what a favourable result is until all the prior games have been played. As it stands today a win for either of them would be most beneficial.
The game is truly gone…
Isn't this because Easter has moved to an earlier weekend next year, the international calendar has been set for some time.
yep the international break is the same period in 2026 as it is in 2027, it is just as you say Easter has moved earlierIsn't this because Easter has moved to an earlier weekend next year, the international calendar has been set for some time.
It's a straight forward mathematical calculation. If one of them wins our points target (for guaranteed promotion) is lowered to 96 as opposed to 97 with a draw.As it stands I would prefer to gain two points on both of them as opposed to 3 on one and 0 on the other.

Personally I'd much rather see Hull win than both pick up a point.
Ideally we want Ipswich gaining minimal points from their games in hand so we can keep them at an arms length.
Yeah I see Ipswich as by far our biggest threat. Then Boro then a fair distance to Millwall and Hull. Famous last words maybe but still
Synod of Whitby in 664Reckon the ecclesiastical calendar has it beat by a few hundred years tbf.
I had a few quid on Port Vale to go through to the 5th round
