From memory our league form went downhill after the Wolves quarter final as everyone had their eye on Man Utd - so that’s fecked Southampton

I've bet them to get promoted at 10/3 but that fixture congestion could scupper it.

We went 2 wins,1 draw and 5 losses plus the semi in about 30 days. Killed the playoffs charge.

It's worse than that. They're still in the cup. Their game with Blackburn on the 25th will have to move.

They've been playing so well, but this congestion is going to cost them.

Think this will hugely benefit Ipswich as Southampton will play the Semi a couple of days before their game in the last week of the season....

Yes, but watching an actual game being moved at the same time as trying to work out where another one fits in brings it home.

Next season in the Championship:

Wolves, Burnley, Spurs/West Ham, 4 out of 6 of Ipswich, M'Boro, Millwall, Southampton, Wrexham, Hull. Birmingham, Sheffield Utd

Maybe a couple of others I have missed, but it does look like a brutal division next season, so really glad/important that we've made it this season. Hopefully sets us up nicely to strengthen as a club.

Surprised more boro fans aren’t questioning Helberg tbh. Should be on their way to the prem but they’ve thrown it away with only 2 wins in 9 since the wankathon after going top

He clearly is very good at implementing a tactical style, but the team are mentally weaker than under Edwards

They have zero composure in front of goal. You can blame the squad but I think it is down to the coaching staff. Look at how Lampard improved the goal-scoring of Rudoni, EMC, BTA, Eccles

They seem too emotional. We rattled them easily & you could see it was gonna go wrong yesterday when Conway was geeing up the crowd twice in the first 90 seconds because they’d won a throw in and a corner

There is a mental block there similar to what we had away from home in January. If they had the cajones they would’ve rectified it against Millwall like we did against boro. They didn’t and that is purely down to mentality

I don't think that can be laid at Kim's door tbh.

I think it is a mental block of sorts, but the rest of team are still scoring some, what you would expect from players in their positions. Sadly the goal returns from players in those positions only wouldn't be adequate for any side.

It's just that the strikers are dogshit and have been all season. That wasn't a Kim thing either, that was the problem with Conway and Strelec all along as we can see from their paltry returns even when we were on form or going back to us under Edwards. He's rectified Tommy not being able to hit a barn door at least by finding a place for him on the left wing that he's actually not bad at. And in Conway's defence I'd never have a go at Tommy either for geeing the crowd up, he was pumped up for the game, passionate and raring to go in front of a full house which is what you want to see.

But he's crap.in front of goal and Strelec whilst ok at internationals is a pretty garbage striker in the championship too.

There's nothing Hellberg can do about that, he didn't sign either of them and you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

That doesn't make sense though. At this point, we are demonstrably not 100% promoted. Of course it's overwhelmingky likely, but that's not the same thing.

We’re projected to hit 95-96 points so that’s why the Opta computers have us at 100% likelihood of promotion.

Ah, a glimmer of light into what the figures mean. We are 100% likely to be promoted if their prediction that we will be promoted turns out to be correct.

4 points from consecutive trips to Ipswich and Boro is no fluke, you've got to applaud Neil for the job he's done at Millwall. If they get autos he deserves manager of the season imo.

But don't they have a bigger wage bill than we do? I agree that he's been amazing obviously.

Bit of a mad take that.
Even if you were looking for an alternative to Lampard it would have to be Neil wouldn't it?

Sort of Championship related - but assuming we are promoted, a high percentage of our games will be in London - Fulham, Spurs/West Ham, Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Palace, possibly Millwall. Had almost forgotten about that aspect. If Boro go up, you'd have the 3 NE teams, a bundle in the NW (Everton, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd) leaving Bournemouth and Brighton on the coast. Forest and Villa would be fairly local. That only leaves the Yorkshire Republic of Leeds as the outlier!

Given relegation restrictions and staying in the top 6 is as big as us being Championship champions. They couldn't even have a loan player if it came with a loan fee or the wages were above the average. They've up showing Brum and Hollywood how to do it.

Nah. Their ‘restrictions’ have actually really helped them succeed by incentivising them to hold on to their best players.
