ELEVEN points, ELEVEN points ahead with 19 games remaining?

When was the last time did a pursuing team catch up with such a gap in the Championship?

The answer is (sort of) last season.

Boro were 8 points ahead of the Albion with a game in hand at the same stage, but by the end of the season we were neck and neck with a match to go.

This is the type of thing that I want the chasing pack to be thinking about, not us.

We'll know by the end of February as we have tough fixtures coming up but I think us & the Geordie boys may well pull away even further!!!

Just when I was starting to believe! That's it then we are going to bottle it aren't we.

We didn't catch up though - we were behind Middlesbrough after 27 games and stayed behind them at the end

I think this tells you more. The points we've amassed is the bigger story.

Nine point gap if (when) The Leeds United beat cannon fodder Forest later.

Not really. Eight points is nowhere near eleven points. Had we been a further 3 points behind last season, the last match would have been meaningless.

In 2011/12, we (Reading) were 11 points off 1st placed West Ham after 27 games (we were 8th at the time), and we ended up winning the league.

We had to win 15 out of the last 19 games to catch them, so you'd be looking at a team hitting that sort of form from now on. Can't see it myself.

I can't see it either. This league is very competitive this season.

Last season we lost out on goal difference only. This season we have the greater goal difference. We also have a manager who is going to stay cool, calm and collected, unlike Karanka, who threw a strop causing Boro to lose game against the likes of Charlton.
