A Boro win would mean we could over take Cov IF we can win both games in hand.
I can't see Boro not being top two if I am honest so feel this is the best result? |  |

We just need to take care of our business. A draw is best outcome if both tesm are above us. |  |

Borough could have a dip in form before the end of season. Only takes an injury to the wrong person , or a couple of decisions going against them. Not saying it will happen, but the possibility is definitely there. |  | | |

Draw please.
Boro were very good last night, even though Sheff U were pretty poor after the first 15 minutes and just kept leaving the door wide open through the middle.
But we're better, and that will show over the last third of the season. |  |

Whatever outcome there is from that game is decent tbh.
One or both of our rivals will drop points, Coventry win and it dents boro's progress, boro win and Coventry are looking in a major difficulty, draw and both miss out. |  |

On the EFl show or Sky (I can’t remember which) the other night they billed it as a potential title decider. |  | | |

We still have to play Boro at home.
Given that I think draw is probably best?
However the way they are playing you can see Coventry being well beaten.

I can see Borough being top 2. And whos running their team?
Hayden Hackney, their most important player. |  |

tricky, a cov win or draw means we need snookers to catch them and their form might be lifted by a confidence boosting win.
a boro win takes them out of our reach, but weakens cov further.
i think we try and get up into 2nd as soon as possible, which means a boro win.
even trickier is deciding who wins out of wrexham and ipswich on friday! (if we win (or leicester) ,then the risk of a 4 game week increases) | |

They could have a wobble themselves yet. A Hayden Hackney injury would be devastating for them. A draw suits us best, but we've got to take care of business ourselves too. |  |

Draw is the best result, 2 points dropped for both teams. |  |

Dammit I'm forever imagining a timeline now where we were successful in our bid for HH. |  |

Pile on the misery for Cov I say, no green shoots at all for them. |  | | |

It's in our hands.
All 'ifs' and 'buts'....however...let's humour ourselves and assume we win our game in hand and make the fixtures against each other next.
Before games against each other
Mid 61
Cov 59
Ips 57
'Boro then play Cov and Ips win their game (against whoever you like)
Permutations are>
if 'Boro win and we win
Mid 64
Ips 60
Cov 59
If 'Boro and Cov draw
Mid 62
Cov 60
Ips 60
If Cov win
Cov 62
Mid 61
Ips 60
We play Middlesborough at home which would mean a win puts it back in our hands for second place at worst.
I suspect we'll see a few more twists and turns as yet though and we won't see the above play out in real time and the fixtures against each other could be absolutely irrelevant by the time they come around, but it does show that if we do perform, it's in our own hands.....currently lol!
Reasons to be positive :-) |  | | |

I think you have to say draw as preferred result because it takes 4 points off the table rather than 3. Coventry have a tough run coming up on paper and seem to be weakening whereas Boro are strengthening, so you'd probably go Boro win as 2nd preference | | | |

I think we have established the best result is a 0-0 draw with a massive brawl resulting in at least a 2 point reduction for both.
Failing that the 0-0 draw would suffice - however we still have to do our bit no matter what, and I cannot imagine Boro, Cov or us (Millwall, Hull etc) to stay at 100% wins to the end of the season . . . bubbling up to be quite the last 1/3 of the season |  | | |

I'd love to know what the deal breaker was.
To travel, see the set up, know who you'll be playing for.......... to then go nah, he either had real confidence in boro going up or he really hated our stairs to nowhere lol |  |

we weren't a premiership club, and that's what his heart was set on.
no-one came in for him, but am sure they will next year, even if boro don't make it | |

Don't overthink things - we are currently 3rd favourites behind Boro and Cov so a draw is best as they both drop points |  |

At this stage of the season a draw would be the best outcome. Whether that turns out to be correct at the end of the season remains to be seen.
I remember in our League One promotion season that people were wanting Sheff Wednesday to beat Barnsley around the same time of the year because Sheff Wednesday were seen as uncatchable, but Barnsley were seen as a threat to us catching Plymouth for second. |  |

Good for the short term but not necessarily long term. There's still a long way to go. Boro aren't guaranteed to finish top just because they looked great in the most wide open game of the season against Sheffield United. |  |

Indeed, 16 matches still to go. And 16 matches ago, after the win at Swansea, the table looked like this:

I'm still surprised that Sheffield United were that open, especially compared to how they played against us. I can't see too many sides letting Boro have that much space now. |  |

So we've dropped a point behind Boro in that time. And I think they went on a 4 game winless run without scoring a goal during that period. [Post edited 10 Feb 11:52]

Yup - Blades and PNE results have knocked us of the top of the extended form table for the first time in ages. | | | |

Whatever it was that KMcK did 2 seasons ago to get our squad in the zone & block out what Leeds, Leicester & Southampton were doing so that we didn't fall away, I hope he can do the same again in & around Boro, Cov & Hull. |  | | |
