Well no I don't think we certainly will get 2nd place.We are 4 points behind to a team who has played 2 more games than us.

But if it isn't to be Bournemouth (who have been scabbing wins and have a really hard run in) then no other team is really standing out Boro been on a good run but lost at Bristol the weekend.Losing Brererton a massive loss but our frequently fixtures are kind following Fulham.

I would place that bet no question on us finishing in the top 6 though

I’d say it’s 50/50 wether we stay in the play off zone. If we do miss out I wouldn’t be surprised.

Steve Bruce lost 3 out of his first 4 games, wonder who the other game was against?

 Yep, 2 points lost by us rather than 1 gained. Albion were there for the taking and we couldn't do it

[superniko]

A draw would be good tomorrow just to keep us ticking over a little, a defeat and we really do start worrying about dropping out of the top 6. Regardless of our easier finish to the season. 
Draw away and win at home and you won’t be far away. I’d take a Draw tomorrow and Win on Saturday all day every day.

The table just makes for uneasy viewing compared to where we were at just a few weeks ago. We’ll have just a two point gap on 7th if we lose tomorrow, and it was at 8+ very recently. We can’t keep thinking we’ll pick up after Fulham as that’s still 3 matches away and our morale would be sunk in the mud. Point is the minimum we need tomorrow and we simply then have to beat QPR on Saturday.

Good win by Coventry tonight too; it's the teams sneaking up on the rails that you have to watch and there's so many now that could make the top 6. 

Somehow we've got to find a way of winning again.  

[glen9mullan]

Hard to stomach that by 5pm Saturday we could be out the top 6.

Must not lose game tomorrow

If we have serious intentions of promotion, we must beat Sheff Utd and QPR. 

I don't think we have the manager to do that. I think we have the squad, though, apart from a good (extra) striker.

[AdamRochina]

highly doubt we can beat anyone with the forward line we have,  shambles not bringing in someone who knows where the back of the net is

I agree, it’ll come down to managerial quality in the end.

QPR must have won 10+ points with 85+ minute winners. The mark of a good manager and great mentality amongst the group.

We only ever concede late winners.

That's what teams pushing for promotion do, find a way to win when the odds are against you or down to 10 men etc. Respect to anyone who does that.......... we talk a good game about character etc, about time we started showing it.

Similar to the obsession about specific runs of form, that point is disproportionate to the fact that the difference between the teams is 2 points. You say the "sign of a good manager" but would that not also mean that presumably, we have earnt 8 more points than QPR within the first 85 minutes which reflects well on Mowbray?

That would be great. All the teams that have laughed at our Venky plight need a good old dose of shit owners and opportunistic snakes.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Well our run on Sky sports has been a f**kin disaster......

1 win- Boro

2 draws-Luton and WBA

4 defeats -Hull, Swansea, Forest and Sheffield united 

Was it ever going to be any other way?

It’s not just the defeats - how many goals ? Most of the time we’ve played like drains.
