…for a game that doesn’t involve us.
Middlesbrough v Leeds ffs.
I know ‘just concentrate on what we do’ etc but we’re at that stage of the season where everything matters.
Come on Boro!
Sad innit. |  |

Ayling's absence is a massive yeh right for Boro and Town. Ho hum. |  |

I think Wednesday's Hull v Coventry game is big as well, obviously Leeds dropping points would be massive, but if those two are out of the playoff picture by the time we face them I think that is a real boost, you would have to expect a drop off in intensity, and especially against us where the energy and desire to press is so important it could make the difference.

As long as Leeds drop points , I'll be happy.
There is something wrong about enjoying the misfortune of others! |  | | |

Yeah, think people have been getting a bit carried away with Leicester’s collapse. Obviously if they lost loads in a row and dropped several points behind us then it’s one thing but they ‘only’ fell to be in amongst the scrap and they’ve evidently got enough quality to eke out enough points.
Always bemused me that people thought Leeds beating them a few weeks ago when they really should have won was a good thing. Had that result been flipped we’d almost have a foot in the PL right now. |
It's impossible to know anything for sure, but for a few games everyone was slipping up, so having Leicester in the mix added to the anxiety, so Leeds beating them could have been good. Anyway, all we can focus on is the future. | | | |

Yep, I agree, I never thought it a good thing that our closest rival for 2nd place was winning a game like that given the respective league positions at the time. |  | | |

Just popped over to Moaning On Together to get a flavour of their group state of mind. Not as bullish as I expected, a bit bitchy about us, and quite a lot of expectation of the play-offs. Also Connor Roberts is out until possibly their last game and it seems he's the mature leader in the squad.
Up the Boro! |  |

If we beat Hull and Coventry you can be certain they will quickly pivot to it being unfair, the EFL being corrupt and there being an agenda against Leeds. [Post edited 22 Apr 13:28]

certainly will have done us more good than Coventry who have 4 games in 10 days! ones thing for sure, we will be fresher than them and Hull who also play Weds night prior to playing us! | | | |

Just off a call with a couple of Leeds ST holders, who seemed remarkably relaxed. Seem to think playing away is an advantage.
Both seem more concerned about the QPR game. |  | | |

QPR away certainly won't be easy for them. Loftus Road is one of the smallest/tightest pitches in the league which will somewhat negate the strengths of their team.
As a side note - we have the second biggest pitch in the league. Second only to whom? Yep, you guessed it, Hull. Should be like a home-from-home experience! | | | |

Monday - Boro Leeds
Tuesday - Leicester Soton
Wednesday - cov Hull
Friday - qpr Leeds
Atleast Thursday will be relatively stress free |
McKenna will make up some injuries at the presser just to keep you on edge. |  |

That's a lot of wishful thinking on their part. We looked exhausted. We weren't bottling it like the other clubs, we were just struggling with fatigue and Wes Burns being missing. We might still not make it, but I'm certain that we will do better than we would have done without the break! | | | |

Thought it was fairly obvious at the time that the team competing with us for 2nd was the one we most wanted to drop points to be honest. |  |

If my calculations are correct, Middlesbrough have got no chance of getting in the play offs. 9 points off, 3 games to go, inferior goal difference, need Norwich to lose all their games and for Hull and Coventry to blow it big time too.
I doubt they will up much of a fight. I'll save my energy cheering for Norwich so Hull and Coventry are also with nothing to play for. |  | | |

You didn't watch mid-table Sunderland deserve a draw at Leeds a couple of weeks ago, then?
Don't write Boro off just yet. | | | |

At least this one's straight forward. 'boro all the way. The games involving S'ton are driving me up the wall, as win, draw or lose we just don't know what any of it could mean for us.
Being in our own hands is a plus but we've had shaky hands lately. I really hope we can put the last 3 results behind us. 'boro was a good performance though, so something to build on. I think I'd rather not be playing catchup, but I suppose that depends on where we are after the others have played and the players may think differently. |  |

No worse than a draw for Middlesbrough please. Pretty sure Kieran has been on the phone to Michael asking for a favour tonight. |  | | |

Everyone cool the burners. Ipswich has had a fabulous season to date. It’s such a long hard season in the Championship. Despite the highs and highs and some credit in the bank for the way we have performed, all we have done is put ourselves in a position to cap the season with a promotion!
I’m a living in the reality that few really thought this imaginable. However all outcomes are on the table.
We enter this period in a similar but not exactly same way as we have done all season. We have to work hard for every point and find ways to score goals and win matches. The difference here with the earlier season games is the critical nature of wins and 3 points, early season is points accumulation, there is little margin for error now.
We can do this. IF we were to miss autos this would surely be disappointing at this stage but would then be the playoffs as a viable solid end to season and promotion that way.
Let’s do this for the spirit of Alf, Bobby and those greats that have past. Let’s do this for all the younger fans that have not had the experience of following Ipswich as a top level club. Let’s do this for the current players and coaching group that have delivered so much excellent football and made PR a must see experience.
Caged tigers. |
Lets do it for all the fans that couldn't be on this journey, that passed away before they knew McKenna or Sam Morsey, before the rise. |  |

Some may however wish to move onto better things or wish to stay at Boro next season. But also some may love the thought of being part of stopping Leeds get automatic promotion. |  |
