Today's games...

[derfblade.3]

Boro, Watford and Luton all winning.
Luton seem to be the surprise package . Not really noticed them but they have crept into the pack.
All in our own hands but who looks the biggest outside threat?

 

[BettingBlade]

I think they’re all a much of a muchness and I expect they will all take points off each other meaning I dont think there will be one stand out team to catch us.

The biggest danger is ourselves.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

They’ve all strengthened…we haven’t.

All the more surprising in Luton's case given the departure of Nathan Jones.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

If we lose against Swansea, our collective arse holes will start twitching

 

[BigBed]

Only 10 points clear now, and we could easily be caught playing like we did today.

 

[Guesty]

They all know they just have to pick up points and wait...

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We're in a bit of trouble I think. Performances + fixtures + injuries + 1 man midfield + no signings + rivals strengthening = ...... a fair bit of doubt

Beat Swansea though and we'll have the sort of points return from the last 6 I thought would have us out of sight, but Boro in particular have won nearly every game

I think it's going to get far too close for comfort and we'll massively regret not sorting ourselves out and strengthening in January

 

[Sheffsteel]

If we lose against Swansea, our collective arse holes will start twitching

Yes because the next game is home to Middlesboro.
Swansea play alot of possession football and on their day can be a great side but they have soft centre, so can lose to anyone too.

Imagine if we lose to both Swansea and Boro......it will be madness on here.....
with the doom and gloom brigade declaring the season over and we'll do well to scrap into the play-offs.

The Boro one concerns me a little because realistically we only need to draw where as for Boro they must beat us to close the gap.
So you can imagine we'll start slow and defensive with Boro being fired up starting quickly.

 

[Roygbiv]

People just going to ignore the fact we've gained a point on everyone below us in the last 3 games in their desperation to shit themselves.

You're going too soon. At least wait until teams get to within single figures of us

 

[Minty]

Then we have Millwall away and Watford after that……

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Then we have Millwall away and Watford after that……

..... and they will be harder games than they looked before because... yep, both have strengthened

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We just ain’t got that necessary composure in front of goal.

 

[BigBed]

Boro is our 6 pointer, beat them and Swansea and hopefully get some bodies back, and were in for an exciting run in.

 

[Lupa The Noa]

Boro will catch us. It's not a massive criticism but we've lost the momentum they currently have.

 

[RetfordBlade]

Boro will catch us. It's not a massive criticism but we've lost the momentum they currently have.

They lost to Sunderland 2 games ago we haven't lost since Rotherham before Christmas what momentum like roy says people desperate to piss themselves

When it gets to 6 points I’ll wet the bed big time

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Reading come from 2 nil down to make it 2 2 with Watford

 

[Roygbiv]

Boro will catch us. It's not a massive criticism but we've lost the momentum they currently have.

They've gained one more point than us in the last 10. We've won 12 in the last 15.

I think people look at other teams results and totally forget our own form

 

[Lupa The Noa]

Who's pissing themselves? I'm not interested in promotion anyway. Look on Soccerway or WhoScored or FotMob. Middlesborough are second only to Burnley on form.

 

[Lupa The Noa]

Our form is fine but there's is better, and importantly, better enough to catch us. That's all. I don't give a fuck if we go up as it attracts the very people you're arguing with- negatiove turds.

But that is the sort of games we win

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Reading 2 Watford 2 FT Watford throw 2 point away in 2nd half

It's not good enough to catch us though. If both teams form carries on we will be 9 points in front of them after the next 10 games. They lost just 2 games ago

 

[Blade56]

Borough commentators today think they will catch us with results and playing us soon.

 

[bakeblade]

Borough commentators today think they will catch us with results and playing us soon.

Boro are definitely a threat, they're on good form and have strengthened cleverly. I think we all know it's going to the wire.

 

[Keen Blade]

That home fixture v Boro is a must-win for them , but I hope Hecky doesn't set us up for a draw.

 

[Stretch]

Boro are definitely a threat, they're on good form and have strengthened cleverly. I think we all know it's going to the wire.

Not all of us.

10 points is a ridiculous lead to chase down, regardless of their form. At worst we have now become hard to beat, and that in itself should be more than enough now.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Watford fucking up again in addition to Norwich losing hopefully limits our threat to just Boro

That home game against them is now the biggest of the season
