add to that the fact that a few teams are closing in on boro for that 3rd spot thats more pressure on em and law of averages says their not going to win 10 out of their last 12 games

That's it there. Do they risk 1 point for 3 when a draw every now and then could be vital for them to hang on to a play off spot. Going all out every game may lose them some points and they could end up burnt out.

Same goes for us, we now need to not be as open as we were for the Boro and Millwall games. Same tactics as the Watford game for the rest of the season.

I expect Boro will bounce back and get 3 points this weekend and hopefully we can get at least a draw which wouldn't be a disaster for us. We must win our game in hand though.

Win our remaining home games with a smattering of away draws and we are practically home and hosed (practically šŸ¤”)

boro have got a 4 game run now where they could easily pick 9/10 points but in their last 8 games theyve got burnley norwich luton plus tricky away games at bristol city udders and rotherham its just a question of us keeping our noses in front of them in the next 3 weeks

No we are not we play 4 if the bottom 6 and you don't think teams will park the bus for boro .boro have lost 9 of 18 away games.
We play all of our games except Burnley are against teams below us is how you should look at ir

Bit boring I know but I've just averaged the table positions of all the remaining teams we play and it's 12.53 which is just below halfway in the league, so our run in is exactly average

think i have to agree with you a point would be a great result if we were to win were nearly there imo

Theyā€™re in form & will have a lot of confidence from the Leicester game. I donā€™t see us getting anything from the game, Iā€™d also take a point
 
I think being home or away makes a big difference to these things. Not sure what weighting I'd give it tho

i would definetly take a point but because blackburn are favs for the game its practically another free hit for us like the spurs cup tie they will definetly come at us but that might just suit us were more of a counter attacking side thesedays

A good few said the same about Spurs

It's to be expected against a top tier side I suppose. Spurs didn't go hell for leather in that game but that shouldn't take anything away from what the squad did. Fair fair play to them. If I have one criticism, just one.

Why can't we show that much determination and passion most matches? We were fairly toothless against Spurs till Illi came on, then we got a bit more confident and again, perfectly acceptable, I expected Spurs to dominate possession and have more chances but after seeing that display why can't we play like that most weeks? Is it the opposition? It's certainly no secret teams are now doing what they can to take our key players out the game and some are even setting up quite defensive.

Agree
Boro have already won something like 10 out of their last 12, which is an incredible run but guess what?
They now need to go on another incredible run of 9 or 10 wins from their last 12.
Itā€™s too much to ask, even Man City would really struggle to achieve this, if they do manage to finish 2nd then they deserve all the plaudits.

Wilder has played another blinder for us, being so poor at Boro has given us a head start,

God knows how you work that one out mate & head full of cartoons. Where are you getting all these phantom points from? A pie chart & graphs?

I think it puts pay to the talk that weā€™ve got a more difficult run in than Middlesbrough .

Yet another 3 points dropped
 
Hey Blades fans, Did you see Boro tear Reading to shreds at the Riverside? Theyā€™re not a bad side either, rocky away but solid at home and are unbeaten at the Madejski stadium in their last 7 games with some good opposition.. So good luck you donā€™t drop more points there..

Quiet a sensible post S26Blade šŸ‘ the only thing is we are not looking behind at all, we have your team in firmly our sights. You could of been home and dry (game over) 13 points clear with a game in hand 3 weeks ago but your not for a reason. Instead itā€™s now 4 points with a game in hand (if you win it) There are 33 points to play for yet and by the time we play Burnley they will of been promoted on their form looking forward to their holidays. Your side are definitely favourites no doubts but along way from being home and dry. Itā€™s been another belting Championship season and whoever gets automatic promotion fully deserves it mate.
