Not saying tomorrows is a must win game but beat Coventry & put a 5 point diatnce between us & them, depending how WBA get on at Millwall we will go 5th & still a game in hand over Huddersfield & WBA, prove the Blackburn result was a one off

C'mon Boro!

Have to beat the teams around us.

Our performances haven’t been great recently despite the results. Poor the last 4 games and incredibly lucky to beat Blackpool, Reading and Mansfield. Coventry will go ahead of us with a win and will have a game in hand. Won’t beat them if we play the way we’ve played this year. There’s a lot of optimism around considering our form the last few games…

Our form has been great, and you make your own luck, we have been playing to the final whistle and getting those wins, which takes character, there is no fluke in that, Wilder has changed the belief of the team, these players may have folded in certain games under Warnock, I think top 6 is easily achievable now.

Only incredibly lucky if you just consider the period where the opposition were on top.

We should have been more than one goal up against Blackpool.
4-0 wouldn't have flattered us in the first half against Mansfield.
We were far better than Reading for most of the match.

Even against Blackburn, we had far more chances and a draw was the least we deserved.

Saying that though, I'm more worried about Coventry than I was about Blackburn (despite that result).
They're a good team and they've been above us for the majority of the season.

Yeah I accept that. Just think some are getting a little carried away. People talking about top 2 before the Blackburn game (still possible obviously) but I’d take finishing 6th right now.

At the start of this run we played 5 in a row against teams above us, got 13 points, playing well, things were looking great. Couldn’t honestly say we have looked great since the Forest game, despite results. Scraping past teams in the bottom half isn’t promotion form.

I love our attitude of playing to the final whistle, but we won’t keep winning unless we start playing better again.

Feels like a must win for me just for our mentality and the confidence it will give us

I doubt you'd get many Boro fans that wouldn't happily settle for 6th right now.
I know I would.
The play-offs are the play-offs.

Top 2 was always a slim outside chance, the play-offs are still entirely in our own hands right now though.
If we actually improve the squad in this transfer window, rather than the usual outcome, our form could be brilliant.

We were top of the form table before Monday, having played a game less.

Can't help but think letting hernandez go was a big mistake.
Our best performances were when he offered an alternative threat down the left or centre to jones on the right.
We're too predictable since he left imo.
 
I agree too Hernandez was useful, but I would guess he went to allow us to bring in McGree and/or Bolugun. Those two will hopefully prove their worth as the season progresses.

Ref Hudd/Stoke

Excellent result as both dropped points.
