10 points minimum keeps us on track
I've only seen bits of their recent games but they were very lucky to beat WBA and Stoke.middlesbrough have :
Sheffield united
Coventry
oxford
Leicester
Birmingham
Could see them getting 10-12 points
And whats the worst case scenario Brighton?Oxford W
Boro L
WBA L
Sheff Utd L
Stoke W
Boro will tear us to pieces, narrow defeat at a dreadful West Brom, torn apart at Sheff Utd then should see off Stoke. I can’t see any better than that, we are not getting out of this rut as the manager refuses to adapt and the players look devoid of confidence and energy.
Yes however in 2 weeks we play Boro but Ipswich v hull is off due to fa cupSo all the games in hand teams play tomorrow night, Blackburn v Sheffield Weds, Hull v Watford, Portsmouth v Ipswich and Sheffield Utd v Oxford.
We will have a clearer picture of what’s needed to keep ahead of them.
Would it destroy our confidence if we dropped to 2nd for a couple of games? IF Boro went top would they then suffer like we have from the pressure, we know it’s easier to chase than defend a lead.
As long as we keep ahead of 3rd, I’m ok with going up in 2nd place, don’t need a title just promotion.
Feel free to bookmark the post, I’ve explained my reasoning. QPR were in dreadful form with a whole load of injuries, we went in front and still lost playing terrible football.And whats the worst case scenario Brighton?
Bookmarked.Feel free to bookmark the post, I’ve explained my reasoning. QPR were in dreadful form with a whole load of injuries, we went in front and still lost playing terrible football.
In fact I’ll go one further: we will not win another away game this season.
Don't see Boro tearing us to pieces, think they've had lucky moments in their recent away games, which happens when you are flying. We're certainly better than WBA and Stoke, even now.Oxford W

The warning signs were there against Lesta and Millwall, a combination of Rushworth and poor finishing kept them to one goal. Boro are brimming with confidence and their manager is adaptable to what’s going on during matches.Don't see Boro tearing us to pieces, think they've had lucky moments in their recent away games, which happens when you are flying.

so, we going to beat oxford?No point worrying about anything more than the next game.
Should do yes. Let's be honest views on subsequent games are best informed by the game immediately prior. You never know what is going to happen.so, we going to beat oxford?
We'll beat the baggies, they are awful and I think they may end up sinking like a stone.Oxford (H) - W
Middlesborough (H) - W
WBA (A) - D
Sheffield united (A) - L
Stoke (H) - W
Stop it!Oxford (H) - W
Middlesborough (H) - W
WBA (A) - D
Sheffield united (A) - L
Stoke (H) - W
could you imagine if we won all 5?I feel like every game is a must win at this point. Despite the bargaining brigade trying to paint the picture that all is fine, we have completely blown our lead, and the automatic position race has been opened wide. You have 'Boro, Ipswich, and Hull breathing down our necks. Lose the next couple and I suspect we will drop down into a playoff position.
There’s more chance of us being awarded a penaltycould you imagine if we won all 5?
3 tough games in there for them, and Leicester are also capable of beating them.middlesbrough have :
Sheffield united
Coventry
oxford
Leicester
Birmingham
Could see them getting 10-12 points
