| Boro winning on 12:43 - Jan 24 with 1767 views | gainsboroughblue | I think the top three are going to pull away at quite a rate soon. There is a real gap in quality imo. It's still in our hands but when a direct rival notches three points in the 1230 game, it ramps the pressure up. Still bloody annoyed by that Pompey postponement, they were ripe for a thrashing. |  |

Surely a top four including Hull ? As mentioned earlier, they have run of home matches coming up. |  | |  |

Watford and Hull with very winnable games, too. Massively important we don’t lose today |  |

It’s a nice to, not need to. Lots of games to play. Be good if we could get a result though |  | |  |
| Boro winning on 13:00 - Jan 24 with 1484 views | Scuzzer | 2-0 now. This could be a big score as PNE look awful. |  |

Yeah. Maybe I'm doing Hull a disservice and I'm biased on seeing them against us when they were truly awful (mind you, we weren't great at times in that game ourselves). |  |

In the League One promotion season, lots of people decided after the 0-0 draw at Bristol Rovers in February that it was game over, and the gap to Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth was too big. So there is no such thing as a "must win" game in January. What is important is the consistent accumulation of points. A draw today and a win over Preston next weekend would keep us on their heels. What IS key in games like today is that we show we can compete away from home, with so many away trips coming up. |  |

Yes for sure points on the board are better. Think this could go all the way as you say. |  |

I've turned over to Millwall v Charlton as it's the 'main game'. Think Preston are done. |  |

How much you want to bet PNE won’t play this open when we visit? They’d probably go into a low block again, even at home |  | |  |
| Boro winning on 13:27 - Jan 24 with 988 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | A nine point week for Boro after a poor Christmas is a little bite of a statement considering they had two away games. We need to match. |  |

Annoying that they've decided to totally sh*t the bed today. They're normally solid and well organised, if a little uninspiring up top. Guarantee it'll be back to a deep 5 man defence against us, as you say. |  | |  |

Never said it was a must win game personally I think it will be a draw, Just saying boro will not go away now, |  | |  |

Coventry a better bet to catch I think. Unless they strengthen significantly this window. |  |
