I'd rather we finish 5th/6th now to avoid Saints in a two legger. |  |

I really don't think we have been good enough over the course of the season for top 2. Best we can hope for is to play Hull in the play offs. Wouldn't want to play Wrexham or Southampton. | | | |

I’m starting to worry we might drop to seventh before the end of the season. |  | | |

Things will look different after Boro draw tomorrow and Ipswich beat Sheff Weds at the weekend.
A blow but top 2 not done yet, although I'd say we are not the favourites for it now. |  | | |

We are running out of games where we can afford to only turn up for 45 mins. |  |

Tonight was awful but let’s not be ridiculous.
Realistically to finish in the play offs we need about 12 points. |  |

No. Still twists and turns to come. We can't do anything about Middlesbrough but they will drop points (if they don't then fair play to them they would truly deserve to go up) and we need to get back on track with playing on the front foot FROM THE OFF on Saturday and then knock Millwall off their stride.
Then rest, reassess and reset over the international break. | |

Zero chance we miss the POs. |  |

A dent in the push for sure, Boro and Coventry showing no signs of slipping up, and if that is the case we will have to say they thoroughly deserve to finish in the automatic positions.
We will finish where we deserve to finish, and if we are honest, this has been far from a perfect season, I am not sure we deserve to go up automatically - the play offs is what may just deserved. |  | | |

The only team I would want over two legs is Hull , I think the others would cause us far more problems. | | | |

Six away games left inc Saints and Scum, Boro at home who just need to avoid defeat, plus other 'easy' games like WBA when we couldn't beat Leicester or Stoke?
Sorry but it's not happening, absolutely zero from last two games to suggest the next 10 will be different. | |

Plenty from the previous four games to suggest it is possible. And this is the Middlesbrough that before their last two games hadn't won in 3 and previous that hadn't won in 4, dropping points at home to Blackburn, Oxford and Leicester.
I honestly have no idea how this is all going to pan out, but it is extreme to say that there is zero chance of us winning games and Middlesbrough losing them off the back of a couple of draws, however they came about. [Post edited 10 Mar 23:18]

We're 4 points off.
There's 30 points left on the table. |  | | |

But this sums up weak mentality we have.
If we are play offs there are teams like Wrexham who we fear, let that sink in.
We have no bottle and I wish McKenna would come out and call out the weak mentality in the squad. |  | | |

I admire your optimism but Millwall can grind out a result we can't even if Boro did somehow throw it away. | |

I’d fancy the 2024 team over this year’s in a three game play off. Although it would be peak banter era if the inky game we win by coming from behind is the play off final.
But top two is far from done. But we need to rely on other teams now. |  |

I think our problem is that we have to many poor individual performances mixed in and around our good ones.
Tonight for example clarke was shocking
Mehmeti was non existent first half
Taylor was awful
Azon spent more time on the floor than off it
Go back a bit we had the oshea nightmare show
In between we have some incredible wins and the top two is back on. But theres simply no trust in this side imo that it can put on the run that would be required.
The form since Sept was good enough for top two.. but the opening month of the season meant that we needed to be even better than we have been and imo thats a burnley level champ winning side and we just arent simply that.
So yeah I think top 6 finish for us. Unless boro and millwall go on an incredibly bad run. |  |

The beauty of the game is we really don't know what's going to happen next.
Millwall and Middlesbrough fans would've been celebrating us being 2-0 down and then probably assumed we'd got the game won at 3-2. You simply don't know what's going to happen next! | |

Clarke did not look like a footballer in the first half let alone a 15m player. I’ve seen enough of Azon to know he shouldn’t be starting games. Awful touch, falls over constantly and never in a convincing way. |  |

I’m not hugely convinced the mixture is quite there with this group. It’s just not quite working whether that’s players, tactics, mentality im not sure tbh.
It’s been a less than stellar season, if I’m honest I’ve not been too captivated by this season it’s all been a bit meh for me.
Top 2 is done for me, I think there’s more slips in this team and I don’t see the other 3 throwing in too many results to allow us to capitalise.
1 of those seasons where the door has been open for us and we’ve never been good enough to walk through it. |  | | |

I really dont understand why weve not seen akpom as a 9 more this season. Are we trying to get out of his obligation to buy?
Neither azon nor Hirst have shown they are good enough this season. Yet we turned down the option of buying another one and then havent tried another option.
Christ even egeli may have become an answer.
Clarke is a massive problem at the moment. On his day one of the best players at the club but a central figure he is not. He needs to be out wide. | |
