I won't stop worrying until we are ten points clear with three games to go

All true but we surged ahead of them and have since fallen back.

This is important to me, as I'm sure it is to you, and I can't help worrying. I have supported the Sky Blues since I attended my first match in 1963 at the age of eight. 62 years of supporting the club takes its toll!

I'm a bit the same, sort of dreading match days but enjoying it as well. Our form has dropped a bit only due to the difficulty of our fixtures, most of them away, and illness/ injuries. I take some reassurance from our final 8 fixtures, no games are easy but we have a very favourable run in. As long as we stay within striking distance we should be ok.

The whole match day experience is quite exciting at present. Frank and Doug have certainly turned things up a notch. Go a goal down or two, play well and end up scoring 3 or more goals to win is quite stressful to begin with though

I know what you mean. It takes nervous excitement to a whole new level!

I only worry because it's important to me that, after about a quarter of a century, we get back where we belong. I can see our key players leaving at the end of the season if we don't get promoted and - as my 71st birthday is in a few weeks time - I'm desperate to see us back in the Premier League before I finally shuffle off this mortal coil.

If I wasn't bothered, I wouldn't worry but I am and I do!

Brau?

Are Dasilva and Bidwell both injured and/or ill?

I was worried when we were 10 points ahead, because I knew that just two defeats and two wins for a rival, could whittle that gap down really quickly.

My main worry is and has always been though, that the squad is too thin. Seriously needs addressing in January.

It's certainly a tough game for Middlesborough, as QPR have won 4 of their last five.

It's a home fixture though. I forsee a tight match: something like 1-0 Middlesborough or 1-1.

That really is the issue isn't it and, to be fair to the club, they did try and get more bodies in before the summer transfer deadline closed. It's a shame Sheaf went just before the window slammed shut in our face.

Lampard has made no secret of his desire to strengthen our squad and I'm sure DK will back him as much as he can.

Biggest thing for tomorrow is how fit the players are.

I think they’ve (understandably) downplayed this sickness/virus going round the club. They are all together for several hours 5/6 days a week. It’s pretty unlikely any illness will be isolated. As we saw with Torp and then MVE.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the sub par performances are linked to players not being 100%.

All being well, we have our best players are back tomorrow and closer to 100% than they have been.

I definitely think some players will be missing tomorrow due to this flu/bug thing going round

Hope it hasn't hit us too badly and if it has, I hope Bristol have been hit worse.

Guess it depends on whether it was the flu or not. If it's this new flu, I wouldn't think he would have a cat in hell's chance of playing.

Really hoping we haven't got any players out through illness.

EMC was offside. Can’t complain. Officials were decent for once and not to win against 10 men for more than half the match was disappointing.

Lino flagged for everything and lots of good interventions and tackles were given to them and ref and Lino couldn’t wait to give it

Flagging for everything because they were offside on all occasions. The disallowed goal was the correct decision. Not sure how you can think differently

"The gap" & "losing/gaining ground" to Boro/Millwall is unhelpful noise IMO

We just need to focus on winning the next game

By the sounds of Lampard’s press conference we are going to be missing a few. I would go with:

Rushworth
Thomas Wolf Kitching
KKH Torp Grimes Bidwell
Rudi Simms Wright

Or - start him and have him go around every single Ipswich player and lick them on the face to infect their whole squad, and then sub him off.

Sky blue glasses on. Perhaps if Wright and EMC knew the offside rule we'd have more chance.
