Different animal at their place, though. Boro should have thumped them. Leicester are down if they don't win at Pompey imo. We will beat Pompey - confident of that.

It’s all set up to be like one of those movies where the bad guy is preparing his victory speech, the protagonist looks down and out…then picks himself up for the knockout.

Ive long maintained that we’re better with Lati in defence and that our defensive record is down to dominating teams and an outstanding keeper but go off.

Charity bet we don’t start next season with this back line? You’re so confident they’re all the best in the division should be easy money right?

They are the best in the division, the data bears that out, least goals conceded and the most clean sheets. I'm not going to enter into a charity bet with you over a different issue.

I'm actually hoping Southampton catch them. To be clear, I don't like either, but I'm more convinced Southampton would win play offs anyway than I am Ipswich would. I think they'd flap it.

I don't want Southampton because way they playing could see them being decent in prem . Well better than Ipswich anyway

Still hoping for Boro and Millwall!

They’re the best in the division so surely can all step up to the PL? What about TotS it’ll be a clean sweep no?

Do the team with the best defence, in any league, usually have all their defenders selected for team of the season?

Would love Boro to somehow find their shooting boots on Sunday. Win that and I can see them winning their remaining 4

Burnley went up having conceded only 16 goals - conceded 63 so far this season in PL. Anyone who thinks our current defence wouldn't collapse against quality pressing in PL has got their Sky Blue googles on. Reason Sunderland are staying up is because they overhauled their defense and have conceded comparatively few goals.

I still think Middlesbrough go up.

They're dominating every game - 70-80% possession. 25+ shots per game.
Have key players returning soon (e.g. Hackney)

Feel like their current dropoff is equivalent to Sunderland's last year - who eventually pulled through.

I do think they'll get back on track at some point (hopefully against Ipswich)

Most goals scored, least goals conceded (joint atm), most clean sheets, fewest defeats, most wins. Almost like we're actually a good team!
To top it off we're winning in the stands too with the highest average attendance. Happy days.

The rumour mill is saying that Hackney isn't coming back this season.

Wow I have just seen that about attendances. Thats pretty incredible.

Last year would have only been third to Leeds and Sunderland too.

Would have highest average away attendance too if not for Wrexham existing.
Everyone has to play away at Wrexham, except Wrexham.

Yeh the 2 big ones left which helps. Nice to see us ahead of a lot of similar sized clubs with similar sized grounds though. Time for Doug to get that extra tier on the Arena.

Really not sure why you're banging on about this. Can you just not sit back and enjoy what is happening for us this season? You'll find yourself going down wormholes with what potentially awaits us for next season. Can't be good for your mental health - much easier to accentuate the positives and all that. PUSB!

I never thought I'd see a day when I thought tmour ground was too small and needs another 5 k capacity at least.

I can only see MVE and Rushworth getting in.
A case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

Though that Burnley defence was excellent at this level.

Not me bringing it up. Getting a little sick of people asking me to comment then throwing out insults when I do to be perfectly honest.

Tables during the first 6 or 7 games are a waste of time. In fact the only one that counts is the one after the last games have been played.

Table analysis is something that occupies fans in-between games. Most managers and players rarely reference them during the season.

I agree , 1 win means they would have to realistically win 5 and us lose the last 3
