With our goal difference we’ll still need to lose three games on the bounce (and rivals will need at least 2 wins and a draw) to overtake us.

We still in this!

FB, admire the optimism, I really do. But.... Said before we don't need to lose 3 in a row. The other team(s) need to win 3 more than us over 20 games. And on current form, that is a very realistic outcome.

Surely if we can have a lead drop from 13 to 6 in a week or so then that can reduce by another 7 in 4 months. Look I'm not saying it will but I'm struggling with this wild eyed opinion that anyone who says it is entirely possible has lost the plot

We are a top team playing in a league where anyone can beat each other, we are still points ahead of teams and as Boro, who have lost a few games of late, beating Saints 4-0, and the way the leagues is can lose next game.
We have won too many because people are now believing we have to win them all. We need to win 10 more and will do so. I still believe and still have faith.

Happy for a little break to try to get rested up and get the players heads in the right place.

Snap! Bangura went off injured for us after 2 minutes too, yet another defender so we're still down to the bare bones. The new lad Malanda looks mint mind, like a championship Van Dyjk, without the whinging. Him, Jones Target and Brittain when all return (whenever that is) would be pretty formidable.

But we need time to get them back. Having two weeks to make signings and rest our legion of crocks (as not many of our fans give a toss about the FA Cup tbh) couldn't have came at a better time.

Today for us was all about getting back to Hellball. It's blatent where the biggest problem for us is; aside from our injury list, which has now taken over Millwall's, not one of the 4 goals today were scored by our strikers and our main two upfront have scored a whopping 16% of our goals all season.

It’s clear we’re on a downward spiral. Will be amazed if we’re not out of autos by Feb. Amazes me that people think we won’t be.

You can focus on the last few games or on the bigger sample of the whole of 2025 where we've been mostly excellent.

The players get a breather now, Torp is due back for Leicester (maybe BTA as well) and we'll do some business this month. It amazes me people don't have more faith.

I think the recent form tends to be a clearer indicator. Have teams worked us out, players losing confidence etc

Hi Boro fan here, it is right that anyone can beat each other, that's what makes the championship a interesting league, we had a good result today, and I remember the season Cardiff went up under Warnock, they lost 5 game's in a row still managed second, from my perspective I would want Coventry to go up alongside us of course, I just think it's your turn or time, as you have been competing and in an around the promotion mix for a few seasons, bit like Brentford when they went up, always being up there but couldn't quite get over the line, anyway hope it's us 2

Individual errors today cost us! Outfield play today was not too bad really . The other teams are targeting EMC knows the refs are not protecting him. One iota question! Is it me or does MVE's form drops in January quite a lot, this will be the 3rd January where his game has gone to mush.

Hello Boro fan #2, perhaps we don’t even want the Premier League and we’re being nice and trying to let you and Ipswich have it instead, have you considered that?

Texas is a mood hoover or a WUM.

Never seen them say anything positive-even when we win.

I've celebrated victories and do say positive things and do want the team to succeed and get back to the Premier League after 25 years (I've waited long enough as have most of our fans I'm sure). Unfortunately, sometimes it's the negative comments/or my concerns that stick in peoples minds.

I think we have being doing our to give it to you, hope not Ipswich because they just expected it, for me I enjoy being at the top of championship and competing a lot more and being in prem fighting for survival, but 1 season up give you financial stability and resources to compete,

I think Doug was getting worried about having to give free season tickets out if we get promoted to the Premier League.🤣
