My gut is telling me Boro will be champions. There’s a real togetherness in what they’re doing since Helborg came in. They’ve got the momentum now to win it.

We’re at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. The character of the team has gone. Low confidence, no fight and mentally weak.

We won’t be finishing 1st. At the end of the day getting an auto spot is all that matters and we need to be able to keep the gap between Ipswich and us.

If we end up in the play offs we won’t win it. Other teams have the bottle and form right now at the business end of the season.

Lampard and the players need to wake up and take a long hard look at themselves. Do you really want this or are you happy to go through the motions week in week out?

A team that's won one in seven has run rings around us and should have won by more. It's just completely unacceptable at this point yet we have a manager who sticks his fingers in his ears and goes on about 'moments' and 'hard work'.

Hull are on a great run and have 4 home games on the bounce in Feb (5 including the FA Cup). They could easily be in the top 2 come May.

1st Middlesbrough WON 61pts
------------------------------------
2nd Coventry DRAW 59pts
_____________________________
Ipswich WON 54 pts
Hull LOST 54 pts
Millwall WON 53 pts
Wrexham LOST 47 pts
Preston WON 47 pts
Watford LOST 44 pts
Stoke DRAW 43 pts


Had to drag myself to update this. Was a bit sad

It's still in our own hands. We have gone on big win streaks under lampard before and one more will get us over the line. Massive game Monday

I eliminated Southampton but fuck me they could be a playoff worry now if we don't get autos

5 teams in auto race as it stands though. I only fear 2 of them but unfortunately that's enough to drop us into playoff zone

As a boro fan and a rival I hope top 2 in any order not fussed in the slightest it's us and Coventry, this game could be what breaks your bad run, you have what it takes to beat us, when we broke our losing sequence beating Southampton 4 -0 and that game we were better second half which went against the trend of boro being a lot better in the first half to not as potent in the second most games due to the effort and energy used in first 45 mins o f games, anyway after Monday which I want us to play the better and win, I hope we both win enough to get over the line.

A mini update. Why not?!

#rivalswatch

1st Coventry WON 62pts
------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough LOST 61pts
_____________________________
Millwall WON 56 pts
Ipswich WON 54 pts
Hull LOST 54 pts
Wrexham LOST 47 pts
Preston WON 47 pts
Watford LOST 44 pts
Stoke DRAW 43 pts

Back on top of the league with a momentum changing result hopefully

As it's mid February I think it's fair to change the elimination threshold from 20 to 15 points as we enter the final 14 games

Thus it's time to eliminate both stoke and Watford from the autos rival list. On a personal note good luck to robins in achieving a playoff berth, I know not all will agree.

Yeah wouldn't be surprised to see them go back top

But if we get 3/4pts from next 2 games I won't be panicking.

Hopefully Ipswich Millwall hull drop some points on the next 2 weeks to take the edge off Boris probably double victory

We need the famous low Oxford block again for this one.

The Leicester game could prove though for them. The Foxes are obviously desperate for points and do have some good players

They might just completely fold, or make a good fist of it. Hard to tell. New manager bounce may help

Just need Fatawu to score a couple of 20 yarders, that's all Leicester have at this point.

I don't know what the others' run ins look like but our run in doesn't look too difficult. I mean Wrexham, Hull, Southampton and Derby are the biggest tests post Sheff Utd. Derby just good away from home, Wrexham we owe for their place, Southampton are so hit and miss but worry about them.
We do have Swansea away but put that curse to bed last year and Watford last game of the season will be unpredictable as they are. If they're scrapping for a playoff it will be different to them being on the beach

Boro have Ipswich and Millwall left to play so will be a proper ding dong and mean atleast one team will lose ground on us if we capitalise

I think we should be looking at getting our away hoodoo off our backs on Saturday.

Get 3 points there then anything at the blunts is a bonus.
