Not sure what I’d be more embarrassed about, that Boro bring it on video or the Peaky Blinders take over. I think Peaky Blinders edges it…..

7 games in pretty much 3 weeks from the 6th - 28th for Ipswich, including against their local rivals, and 2 playoff clashes (Southampton and Middlesbrough)

I think Millwall are in pole position for 2nd from today, and I like the look of their fixtures too.

Birmingham are definitely going to sack their manager soon and bring in a “big name”

Just seen the headline 'Leaky Blinders fail to get a result'. Brilliant

I know it’s not the Championship, but the race for the final play-off spot in League One is something to behold

On the face of it, Leicester had the easiest fixture of the relegation-threatened teams, and failed to take any advantage.

They have their get out of jail card on Monday at Hillsborough, if they don't win they could be staring down the barrel, and they have to travel to Portsmouth and Blackburn and play Hull and Millwall at home.

This is what’s irritated me about Boro and why I don’t even want them to go up. They may even end up finishing 4th place, Ipswich will have too much at home.

Besides, what metrics are they better than us?
- scored 21 more goals
- better home record
- better away record
- higher than them in the xG table
- they’ve conceded 1 less goal…

The love in has been a bit embarrassing, frankly.

No, it’s a line that’s been parroted by a lot of the commentariat since they overtook us. They’re a team will only just break 80 points.

The QPR manager was just deflecting from a battering but even his comments look pretty ridiculous now.

Not often i'll take the side of Sunderland but saw some Blues fans talking about signing Chris Rigg and i think the comments gave me brain rot, i mean, "growing global profile" ffs! These lot are genuinely the worst fans in the EFL, the most deluded, the most stupid and seem to be enjoying being some sort of Temu Wrexham. Being in the same league as them is going to be unbearable.

Reminder of this classic. "Growing global profile."

Oh they're both embarrassing given today's results.

But we were playing the side now in 2nd as a result with a decimated midfield...Whereas Brum were playing erm, Blackburn, who we considered a draw against as bloody dire.

So I'd say they probably shade it by a decent amount.

xG whilst far from the accurate stat of how well a team does almost certainly indicates fairly accurately one of 2 things; if your goals scored are far exceeding it, it shows that whilst the rest of your side could be average, overall your strikers are clinical.and superb at this level, like Hull for example. If they're far below it, then it shows whilst most of your outfield players are top notch, your strikers are pretty pathetic, like ourselves.

At least our xG shows the midfield aren't doing much wrong, especially given their depletion today. And our performances are decent too. As for strikers though, Good God...

We just need to throw the kitchen sink worth of cash at the striking department for next year and hope that's the final piece of the jigsaw sorted. Can't imagine many strikers at this level not wanting to play for us next year too as they know they'd have tonnes more opportunities to score bucketloads and make a name for themselves than at most other clubs in this league now, unlike in the last summer's recruitment.

Armstrong never is and never was the answer though and certainly not for the had your pants pulled down figure that players get touted for in January.

You have a very good midfield but are average everywhere else at best. Your midfield just keep passing it to each other but you don't have a decent striker. Your defence isn't that good and you need a decent GK. Best midfield? Maybe. Best team? Nowhere near.It's all there in the xG
