Boro v Watford tomorrow

[El Volví]

Despite the score, I reckon both these will give us tough games next month!

We know there are very few easy games in the Championship. Boro lost to Sunderland last week, the tightness of the teams below us could be in our favour.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Interesting that the Boro RWB Jones has been on the bench recently

If we can beat Boro at home today's will be a good result because that'll be Boro and Watford buried

 

[Trafford]

Elsewhere, helpful that Burnley, Blackburn, Luton and Sunderland have all got to play replays in the FA Cup.

BBC final score match pundit reckons they are this seasons Notts Forest.

 

[Harry's Game]

Draw would have been better but that’s the second best result we could have hoped for

He said that with a strong Middlesbrough accent mind

I am fine with them coming third and beating someone nondescript in the Wembley final.

I only have an issue if they exceed what Forest did.

So theyll be promoted througthe play offs

Obviously they are, they are third, However my Sunderland supporting mate said they were garbage at the Stad of Light.

Boro next 2 at home v Blackpool and away at Cardiff. Both very winnable
we are at Rotherham and then Swansea at home. Could easily lose points in both.
Then we play Boro!
Potential if they beat us to close the gap to 3 points if the 2 preceding results go against us!

So basically if we lose our next three and they win their next three, they will still be behind us.

Rotherham & Swansea are both very winnable also. Boro at Cardiff could be facing new manager bounce. No need to catastrophise things. If we keep the squad intact we will go up comfortably, together with Burnley.

 

[Yewsman]

Basically we are 12 points ahead of Boro with a game in hand at Rovrum. Win that and we are 15 points clear plus vastly better GD with only 17 games left. Even if we draw we are 13 ahead and lose we are still 12 ahead!

 

[Bladey_blade]

Akpoms form drops off, they do. That's all folks

Keep away from thi razor Blades GCB

Looking at Watford today they were bang average, and if they perform like that regularly they're nowt to be nervous of. Boro looked lively but fucking hell they fall down a lot. On our day we'll piss all over these two.

If their two games are “very winnable” why cannot our next two be also ?

 

[Trigger Blade]

Obviously they are, they are third, However my Sunderland supporting mate said they were garbage at the Stad of Light.

Watched that game as a neutral and I thought Sunderland were by far the better side, Boro created very little and. I couldn’t see them troubling us either in the head to head or generally between then and the end of the season.

They were I watched it and not much better v burnley although unlucky not to go in front

Watched today as well and Watford look terrible

Because that would ruin my point. Durrrr!

Disagree.

The only threat I see to us comes from Middlesbrough.
Despite last week's loss, they're the only team I see capable of putting together a run of form at 2+ points / game to the end of the season.
Good manager, solid all over the park and strengthened significantly in January.

 

[Harry's Game]

They are levels below us.

No one will catch us

No one

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Watford aren't a threat, just like Norwich.

Neither are Boro

 

[CaptainMorgans]

They are levels below us.

In recent performances? Disagree.
Boro were excellent today and we haven't been particularly impressive for a long time.
You can't fault our ability to grind out a result though, even when under-performing.

No one

Upper midtable form (8-10th) should get us over the line.
To an outsider, you'd think we'd walk it.

The threats you might see from the inside; (1) injuries continue to mount, (2) we lose key players before the deadline, (3) some kind of financial shenanigans that results in a points deduction or loss of morale (late paying players etc.)

Watford aren't a threat, just like Norwich.

They're too inconsistent and seem to have conditioning issues with the squad. Perhaps the only club to rival our injury situation this season..

As I said, I only think Boro have the capability of keeping up the form required to push.
If I was a betting man, I'd say they'll be promoted one way or another.

Boro will have another bad patch, forest last year was an anomaly if you look at history, akpom gets injured/stops scoring Boro stop, WBA despite losing to Burnley are probably the third strongest side in this division and are the "scariest" if anyone
