To be fair Boro are the best footballing side in the division..swings and roundabouts and all that

They tell themselves that despite losing to us twice and Ipswich at home.

Good outfit, well deserving of their position but we’ve obviously been the best team in the league this season by a mile.

To catch us up, we needed to go nearly 3 months without an away win. There’s an only a month of the season left and the factors that lead to that barren run just don’t apply anymore.

I'd rather we just had a nice comfortable win, no drama's

See, wasn't that nice, on to Saturday and bigger challenges

Should have signed that striker everyone can see they needed

They signed good squad players to support their team but the glaring error was not singing a clinical striker.

Meanwhile, our problem was depth and a ball winning midfielder, we addressed both needs and have gone strength to strength.

If we win all remaining home games it would break the record for points at home in a season, could we?

My personal prediction is that Millwall draw v Ipswich and beat Boro.

Boro have bottled their last 3 home games and that’s where promotion is won or lost. If they fail to beat Bristol City at home, they’re in trouble!

They're already in trouble. 6 games ago we lost our lead by 2 points to Middlesbrough. They were the best team in the world and expected to extend their lead to 5 points after beating us. Since then they lost to us, drew at home to Oxford and Leicester, and today lost to Charlton. 8 points from their last 6 games. Lack of firepower is going to cost them.

Millwall, Ipswich and Wrexham to come. Home form has fallen through the floor. 2 points from last 3 home games. Confidence is the key.

I'm nearly enjoying watching the pile up for 2nd as I am getting the ice bucket ready for the celebrations of saying goodbye to the last 25 years of pain and struggle.

Thanks for everything King and Lampard. Onwards and upwards and I hope our journey continues together.

Possible, just not probable. We’ll get close and a more realistic target is to hit Leeds’ home form from last season which is 4-1-0 for us at home now.

We’re on course to have one of the best home records over the last 8-10 seasons, only Watford (59 in 20/21), Leeds (58 in 24/25) have surpassed 54 points at home in a season since 2014/15, we get there with 3 more wins out of 5.

A nice dodgy pen for us would be great: we are still owed a few decisions

Carlsberg don't do subliminally effective, superbly catchy advertising slogans that will continue to be quoted decades afterwards, but if we did...

Great midweek!

The Den is easy to get to and there's usually no issue getting tickets.
If you ever look on https://www.reddit.com/r/Championship/ you'll see a lot of tourists asking for advice on which London game to pick while they're in the UK. Millwall are nearly always one of the options or suggestions.

They've still got a good atmosphere too, whereas Spurs and West Ham have lost theirs a bit (and Arsenal used to play in the Highbury Library). Not to mention the tickets are cheaper/easier to get.

I can see their appeal to German fans-due to their fan-owned club culture, not, you know, the other thing Millwall and Germany are both sometimes historically associated with...

So, to recap…… we’ve only lost once at home this season, only lost six all season, that works out at one loss every six games. That works out to one/two more losses in the next ten. Since September, we’ve been off the top for SIX days, due to a Borolona surge, which we’ve then gone on to nullify with this win streak. We have more home games than away left.
OH, and Ipswich need more than draws!! Hahaha
I’ve only done this to convince myself we are doing this, it just feels so alien for us to be flying at the top!
