Only crumb of comfort is if they lose it makes their playoff push a little harder, and if that’s to be our insurance policy I don’t want them anywhere near it. |  | |  |

It's hardly insane?!?! I just said I'd prefer they didn't win! It's just not totally lose lose. |  | |  |

Yep. We only have to overtake one of them. It doesn’t matter who. |  |

Yes it is. We are currently third, there’s two teams above us, we want both of them to lose. Hope this helps! |  |

Which we will do if we win our game in hand, beat Middlesbrough and then match the loser of the the Coventry Vs Middlesbrough match next weeks results for the rest of the season. It's in our hands, this result shouldn't matter to us too much ,but has ramifications for Coventry. I'll reiterate though, i'd really rather Boro didn't win! |  | |  |

Cov are struggling, this win for boro adds more pressure to them and I’m very confident come the end of the season we will be above Coventry. I’m really not fussed if we finish 1st or 2nd. Will be lovely to see Coventry fail in the playoffs |  | |  |

Whatever makes you feel better. What happens if Cov then rally and turn them over Saturday to reignite their season? You’d rather Boro have these 3 points banked? Ridiculous. |  |

It’s just mental gymnastics to make people feel better about the outcome they’re watching. |  |

Crazy. To ‘not mind’ if one of the teams we are supposed to be chasing gets 3 points is ludicrous. |  | |  |

No point worrying about other results. Look after our own results we go up. Simple as that. |  | |  |

I know, tbh I didn’t start a thread about it, I just challenged the notion that a Boro win is in any way good for us. Which I assume was the point of this discussion. |  |

Not against is not anywhere near the same as preferred! I'll tell you what is insane or crazy, blubbing about results we can't control, when we are up, if we do our job, in the results we can control! |  | |  |

They can't, as they play each other next week. |  | |  |
| I'm not totally against Middlesbrough winning this one on 07:41 - Feb 10 with 423 views | RIPbobby | Boro don't seem to get the same respect as us. Preston went to their place and played 2 up top. At ours they had 11 at the back. Blades actually tried to out football Boro and were soon 2 down. When they got physical (like they did v us) then they were much more on top. |  | |  |
