2nd place there for the taking this season....

[Perkino]

It would seem that nobody is joining Burnley with any great desire to go up. I thought it would be a tough battle for promotion but too many teams bottling it and letting Burnley run away with it

 

[BensGrandad]

2 x 4-0 again, and we won't be far off on GD.

Especially if those were against Burnley Derby or Boro

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Yay ... and lets hope Hull live to regret that cup run and the fixture pile up.

Thought I wanted a Boro v Hull draw but not so sure now. Beginning to think a fortunate Boro win might be better ....... crazy!

Think you have been very generous to Hull there as I cannot see them winning 4 and drawing 2 of the last 6 games. Several of those sides as fighting relegation. They will win 3 at best and lose at least a couple in my opinion...

 

[Triggaaar]

Yeah but +8 of our GD was clocked up in 2 consecutive games recently . . . . anything can happen . . .

2 x 4-0 again, and we won't be far off on GD.

It took us over half a season to win a single game by more than 1 goal, it's not realistic to expect us to be winning many more by 4. Catching up 9 GD on 'boro in 10 games is too much to ask IMO.

 

[The Birdman]

We need Burnley to have a dip in form now and Brighton to have a good run still up to us.
He we go an exciting run in.

 

[kevo]

Forest might get a new manager bounce for their game against Hull on Tues. Then if we do the biz against Reading it would make things *really* interesting...

Can't argue with anything it's so unpredictable.

I worked on everyone winning their home games, except the 6 pointers. I've only given draws for every Hull away game except the last against what I think will be an already relegated Bolton. They may well slip up and lose a couple, instead of drawing but it's only going to nick a couple of points off of them.

What we really need is for them to lose one of their home games, but buggered if I can see any of those teams doing it

Of course if we beat Burnley and Boro it may not matter!

I admire your pessimism. Oh, hang on . . . .

I was about to top up my glass of wine, just then, till I realised it is still HALF FULL

Fill it up, it's practically empty.

Our match against Middlesborough could be the most exciting and important since we arrived at Falmer.

Or it could be completely meaningless. One or the other.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

If we replicate our form from the last 10 games will that be enough at 86 points?

No, the glass is too big.

You are sounding more and more like Bens grandad. Give it a rest.

Today result has given everyone a lift.

Don't know. It shouldn't be, but Hull and 'boro aren't doing as well as they should.

Surely 'boro will sort out the manager situation and have a revival? Regardless of how badly they've been doing, they're still second, and have the players to cross the line.

I think that's quite an unnecessary insult.

Boro defo should and i really can't see them for all their recent bips surely missing out,yet somehow they do..big game against Burnley for us soon,assuming we get results first with Reading and at keynes..can Burnley keep winning ...lots of twists yet.

 

[T soprano]

IF this and IF that

As well as who said they "should" - armchair experts like us?

 

[Triggaaar]

But since anyone can beat anyone, those are quite big assumptions.

..lots of twists yet.

Probably true.
