I was referring to their overall XG.
And I'm not dismissive of it, far from it, but like most stats, it's not infallible.
Though you wouldn't know that the way some people go on about it.

I was talking about the fella who posted the screen shot of the match stats from today

I hope the Preston keeper was time wasting again

Ipswich’s 3 home games in a row coming up is a bit ominous.

Ipswich’s 3 home games in a row coming up is a bit ominous.

We'll have 3 after tomorrow most likely.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The reason why we're favoured by the stattos is that so many fixtures involve the chasing pack.

If we can put a decent run together while they keep taking points of each other we're laughing.

Im actually a mess watching this boro game out .. fucks wrong with me

how much was added on

Although we maybe in the same boat if Bristol beat Port Vale.

 

[Nick]

how much was added on

5 added on

It's tough at the top

 

[mark82]

Leicester are very toothless up front. They probably should've won this.

 

[Major Tom]

4 points dropped by Boro’ and a tough away game Monday. Mind games kicking in if we get points in the next two.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Well done Leicester.

Middlesborough have only picked up two points from their last three games. We already have six from our last two, so that's decent even if we lose tomorrow.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Happy for Boro to drop points

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Take that 1-1 at Riverside. 2nd game in a row at home they’ve dropped points.

 

[Evo1883]

Boro draw a great result , 4 points dropped agaisnt the bottom 3 at home

 

[Domo]

lovely boro draw - thatll do nicely

 

[Danceswithhorses]

boro 1-1...got to be happy with that

 

[mark82]

Need to just do our job. Not the end of the world if we don't win tomorrow though.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Apart from Middlesborough, results not going our way tonight.

That’s the most important result I’m tracking. Even if Ipswich win their games in hand, we remain ahead of them.

Boro dropping 4 points at home against 2 relegation zone teams is pretty disastrous at this stage of the season. Ipswich are chasing them down aggressively and I don’t think they’ll finish above us.

 

[Nick]

Hull and Ipswich winning and level on points. Boro draw.

Could have done with a couple more results go our way again.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Bit of dysentery in the ranks at boro

 

[HadjiChippo]

Didn’t think Leicester had it in them.

A win tomorrow for us and we have real breathing room again.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

I know we are focusing on Ipswich (3rd), but that's 2 points from 2 games for Boro against 2 teams in the bottom 3. You would have thought they'd pick up at least 4 points from those games!

 

[shmmeee]

This isn't r/championship the 12th placed trophy doesn't mean anything here

We’re all just humans in this crazy world man. At least I’m not talking about us holding the championship championship belt.

 

[clint van damme]

Needless to say a win tomorrow would be lovely

 

[TomRad85]

Funny old league. Little over a week ago everyone thought Boro were just going to run away with it. 3 games later, no wins, just 2 points and all of a sudden they are looking over their shoulders at Ipswich more so than us.

 

[jordan210]

If we keep getting results we don’t need to worry about the chasing pack.

with a few teams creeping up will start to put pressure on 2nd and 3rd

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Hull and Ipswich winning and level on points. Boro draw.

Could have done with a couple more results go our way again.

No I think that’s a great outcome. In reality they were decent fixtures.

Boro dropping points in these games is great as they still have the chasing pack to play

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Ipswich’s 3 home games in a row coming up is a bit ominous.

Leicester and Hull won't make it easy for them

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

As long as we beat Stoke, anything at Sheff Utd is a bonus for me.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Bit of dysentery in the ranks at boro

Boos around the stadium. Took the stuffing out of them since we beat them.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If we can get a win tomorrow that would be massive. Would prefer Ipswich to end up in the playoff places and have to face the likes of Wrexham. But I'm mainly concerned about us.

 

[Martw]

Hull and Ipswich winning and level on points. Boro draw.

Could have done with a couple more results go our way again.

It was unlikely that the results would have been any better than Saturday so taking both games into consideration we have to be happy

 

[David O'Day]

but lads it's "hellball"!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Win tomorrow and nobodies gained ground on us and we have extended 2 points over Boro.

Just need to do the job tomorrow in our toughest remaining game imo
