Lamps · Feb 22, 2026

The last couple of pages were an interesting read

There's a decent chance of us being 12 points ahead of 3rd after this weeks midweek games with only 12 games to go. Most of the sides 3rd to 9th are playing each other. 3rd v 7th, 9th v 4th and 5th v 8th. But even if it happens I'm sure there will be some negativity somewhere.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Even after ‘Boro went above us, at that exact point it was still exclusively in our hands to win the league because we had them to play the following Monday.

To post a thread like this when that was the case looked premature, with then what has happened in the two games since (for us and other teams) it looks plain silly and attention grabbing.

Exactly, the opportunity was there to hit back and reclaim top spot which is what happened. Boro had to play ourselves and Ipswich away so I still believe that they won’t go up automatically.

Our problems were exclusively away and at home it was v much business as usual and maintaining a 2.4 ppg. I was never really worried about the Boro game.

Hand on heart, I was more worried about the WBA because our record is terrible at the Hawthorns and it’d been close to 3 months without an away win. I’d have been seriously worried had we not beat WBA yesterday - they were shit.

Its all well and good when people can play Captain Hindsight isnt it?

We blew a 13 point lead and dropped to 2nd. We hadnt won away for almost 3 months. Let's not have any revisionism here

I dont think any of us suddenly winning 4 on the spin off the back of that. Long may it continue

You did tbf. The thing is this run was always possible. We've proved it before.

Look, it’s not that deep.
You made a petulant post in an irrational fit of anger.

Then spent time questioning people who thought maybe this was a bit premature and over the top.

You are not the first to do all this and won’t be the last.
Just take your medicine and admit it was a a silly post to make.

I'll feel that more as and when we cross 80 points. My reasoning being nobody's going up automatically on 70-odd points, but when you're in the 80s that changes.

ProfessorbyGrace · Feb 28, 2026

I’m not saying another word until promotion is confirmed.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Anyone with integrity would go “hold my hands up, what a silly sausage I was” and we’re done with it. Colour me shocked there’s a defense of it still

I think we could win 5 more and go up with a couple draws

I originally thought 85/6 but feeling 88

If boro lose monday ( fingers crossed )

If we got 17 points from 33 theyd need to get 25 from 33 to match us

Millwall 26 from 33

Ipswich win both games in hand theyd need 22 points from 33

W5 D2 L4 of the remaining games seems doable

I think its safe to say this is wrong , its safe to say the lampard negativity was wrong .. its safe to say the doubters were wrong .

It will be a good time about now to come together and enjoy whats about to happen , weve all said things that are wrong .

Dont let sense like that get in the way of hindsight points

covmark · Mar 11, 2026

Some of the takes were pretty mad. Remember seeing posts saying that the players were losing on purpose, maybe sub consciously, because they probably wouldn't be playing with us in the PL anyway.

Evo is right though, we need to come together right now. The piss taking can wait till promotion is confirmed

Many of us have said things about lampard , truth is its hard to come into a club after somebody like robins .

I had doubts even this season but really ive never experienced anything like this its all new to me , and us .

Reality is hes outperforming all expectations and is going to cement himself as one of our greatest ever managers , we dont go up like this with anybody else ..its him and his team that have made us the force we are today and he deserves all the plaudits and all the respect from us all .

He will forever be a legend here now

We all say silly things but we all want the same thing

Weve got to back him no matter what next season

Its not hindsight though. There were some posters amidst the mass bed wetting hysteria on here that were offering a more balanced view of the situation we were in. We all know that you don't have any nuances in your views and that you overreact when things go a little awry, but others didn't need to pile on with so much bile.

The Middlesbrough game was the clear turning point though, where the fans were together and really up for it, and which undoubtedly helped inspire the players on the night. Next season if/ when we are in the PL we should bottle that and learn from the experience of December/ January, and not turn on the players or provide a negative atmosphere at the ground when we inevitably hit poor periods of form.

I didnt spout bile

I was pissed off we let a 13 point lead slip within 5 weeks and looked bereft of confidence and how to turn things round. Let's not rewrite history here, its a fact

Its all champagne and blowjobs now and long may it continue, but I stand by the post when I made the thread

TomRad85 · Mar 12, 2026

The reality is, we ran out of steam a bit and had our 'blip'. I'd imagine the illness in the camp contributed to some of the poor results too. The Jan window allowed us to refresh and go again. God knows how clear we'd be if we had Onyeka and our extra wingers all season.

alexccfc99 · Mar 12, 2026

In fairness, who saw this coming after Oxford?

I thought we had blown it and did not have it in us to go on a run like we have, also did not expect Boro to fail to beat 3 of the Bottom 6 at home

The players have been flawless post-Oxford and full credit

Performances like last night, where we were about 5 steps above them fitness wise + the addition of Onyeka really show how much the illness took it out of us.
