The run in

Preston and Birmingham are tough games for us. Never seem to do well at either of those.
 
There are several tricky games for all the top 3. Every team we're playing except Stoke have something to play for. Hull and Ipswich may not by the time we play them. Every game is going to be hard.
 
One more reason I'm glad we've won today is because it takes the pressure off the Preston game. That will be very tough. But we're due a good result there.

With the force field around our goal we can't lose.
 
It was only a few weeks ago that our performances against the top six sides was supposedly piss poor, even though we beat a couple of teams who were in the top six early in the season

Now it's 4 points from Norwich, 3 points from Leeds, 3 points from West Brom, 3 points from Boro and 4 points from Villa.
You can chuck 3 points from Derby into the mix as well as they were top six when we beat them
 



I still think it's a tough run in and if I was a bookie, I'd still have Leeds slight favourites over us. Norwich are home and hosed imho.

All that said, if you'd said to me at Christmas we'd be in the top 2 after this Leeds game, then as well as being delighted if not a bit surprised, I'd have said we'd see it over the line.

Still got shivers about what could happen if we finish outside the top 2, but what this group is achieving is incredible.
 
14 points should be enough for us to finish second and I can see 14 points in our eight games. Wins against Bristol City, Ipswich, Forest and Millwall and maybe draws or losses v Preston,Hull, Stoke and Birmingham. Doubt we can afford to lose more than two.
 
Boro at home to Norwich next game which Boro needs to win to stay in the playoff pack tough one for Norwich

Boro are in awful form and are losing to everyone. Think they will miss the playoffs
 
Boro need to win their next game, it’s the only tricky looking fixture Notwich have left.
 
all 4 sides still with a chance have very similar run ins now.

SOB has a good way of showing the expected strength of opposition in the compared to next season thread
