They play 8 of the top 11 in their next 10 league games over February & March. They got lucky with Fulham as the lethal McCormick did a Bridcutt. It's about time their luck changed. A dip in form would be most welcome, especially on the 16th Feb.

Let's see how long Middlesbrough's 'dip' lasts first, eh?

5 point gap in this division is the size of a canyon.
There's a rude joke in there somewhere

Very catchable, but let's not throw it away in our next 2 home games.

So the team on 55 points have to effectively lose 2 x more games than us, the teams above are Hull and 'Boro, not that catchable.
'Boro with a game in hand too, there's a possibility that we could be in 4th spot by the end of today as well.

And yet we have gained six points on Middlesbrough in 8 days.

Beating Hull on the 16th Feb will help. 2 games ago I would have said that 'boro were out of reach, but not anymore. Anything can happen in this league.

I agree, but a draw at Hull would not be a disaster for catching them either.
Need to beat Brentford, and Bolton and then we can look at the table, and maybe be a little closer to Hull and Middlesbrough than some assume.

There's far more pressure on boro,hull and Derby than us...so expect a few hiccups along the way as usual.

We're closer to dropping out of the play offs than autos. How many times have we beaten Brentford in the league in the last 10 attempts ?
We have to win the next six games in a row to be on 2 points per game.

Agreed. It's ALWAYS better to come from behind. B-Muff last year and Reading in 2011/12 our two examples. If the new striker we hopefully sign has the same effect on the team as Knockers, we are in for a very exciting couple of months indeed.

Last Saturday week we were 11 points behind Middlesbrough, 2 games on the deficit has been reduced by 6 points. The canyon has got a lot smaller!

Agreed. Derby are already in meltdown with the chairman having a proper shout in the dressing room. Imagine if they lose to Burnley - total implosion ? [emoji38]ol:

I am waiting till Easter to see where we are and what the prospects are, everybody seems to be taking points of each other at present and we had a dip along with Hull now Derby / Borough are having theirs
On this basis no team would have been able to catch us when we were well clear a month or two back. The reality is that all we can do is keep winning and picking up points then see if the others can hack the pressure. 5 points isn't a big gap at this stage.

4 for us, 4 for them and 3 draws in 11. 5 for us if you include the cup game.
We did the double in 10/11, they did the double last year.
