Boro thread


I wouldn't worry about us in play offs. Even with defenders fit we will struggle to get there.

If we do somehow get there our defence is too fragile to beat 3rd or 4th over 2 legs.
 
They are in good form but they’ve had some very easy matches. Let’s see how they do against the better sides.

Boro have the same form as us in last 6 games I believe !

6 games left (which in the Championship is a lot!) we’ll see how things pan out and what kind of form can be maintained.

I’d not be too concerned facing Boro in the play offs. They’ve looked bang a average (at best) most of the season.
 
There is quite a significant gap between 3rd/4th and then 5th/6th.

I also can see us having another dip before the end of the season, considering how our season has gone.

If we manage to make play offs - and that's a big if - it's a huge ask of our team to beat Leeds, Burnley or Sunderland over 2 legs, then again in a final. Anything can happen, but 5th and 6th are massive outsiders.

Only 6 games left. Is there time for a dip? Just seen your last game of the season :eek:

You could potentially have 4 play off matches.
 
Will probably go down to the last game of the season. Our game at Coventry could be massive.

The fixture list has been kind to us recently but we were struggling to beat the bottom end teams earlier in the season. We're now finding a way of breaking teams down.

Howson's return has also been key. He's had to play CB due to injuries but his experience and reading of the game has been massive. We can also play it out from the back much more effectively with him there because he's just so composed on the ball. The guy is adored on Teesside.

Looking at your fixtures compared to the other playoff hopefuls, I think Boro will struggle to make them unless you pull off some surprise scorelines. Leeds, Coventry, Millwall away, pretty tough games.

I'd fancy us to beat Plymouth and Norwich at home. One surprise win and a couple of draws and that should be enough.
