@jarkko We've still got Portsmouth before the break but if we win that game then yes it'll be a minimum of a 4 point gap to 3rd!
We can't complain really - going into October 4 points clear of the play-offs at minimum and still unbeaten - 23 other clubs would swap places with us...
@pedro I think it's still early days in terms of the attack clicking as both Strelec and Sene have probably played not much more than 180 minutes e...
Just to prove how hard the Championship is and how good a point can be - Boro beat Sheff Utd to go 2 points clear at the top and 3 clear of 3rd place ...
Well that was both a competitive game and a game of two halves - Boro looking at their best in the first half and only a poor ref stopped them going i...
Just saw your post after writing mine - so that’s a double tonic for OFB - best no gin though….
@original-fat-bob Hope you feeling better soon - take it easy and hopefully Boro give you a tonic tonight!
It's also a bit of grudge match tonight between Mark Robins and Adi Viveash after they fell out at Coventry and Mark Robins told their chairman that h...
Just for balance, if you're looking for things to worry about then Stoke absolutely battered Norwich in their last game with 23 shots on goal in what ...
If you're looking for encouragement for Boro tonight, then after winning their opening 3 league games (albeit against 3 of the current bottom 6 in She...
@Selwynoz Also interesting comparison of that Reading team that finished on 106 points and our famous Jack Charlton champions from 1973-74. You made...
Many thanks for the excellent preview Selwynoz with your usual great analytical eye and detailed assessment. I'd agree Boro this season look to have b...
@presidentjump Yes I'd agree, Ayling was the standout player for Boro today both in defence and in an offensive capacity - two wonderful crosses w...
@k-p-in-spain It's not quite broken just slightly quacked...
Not a great performance but once again Edwards made a telling substitution with a triple change that changed the dynamic and put Southampton on the ba...
A first half littered with errors that could have proved costly on another day as Boro came off second best but in truth it wasn't a high bar. Boro se...
Hopefully a win today and preferably a draw between Preston and Bristol City that could open up a 7-point gap to 3rd if Stoke don't beat Norwich but s...
@mw-in-darwin I think McCormick could well be an important player for Boro in the next three months - although he has only played predominantly as ...
So the news is that Lenihan is actually injured again and will be out for a "number of weeks" with an achilles injury - which was also responsible alo...
@mw-in-darwin Great spot with Jack Stephens - I hope if he scores he doesn’t celebrate out of respect to that one appearance 10 years ago 😏
@presidentjump I was also reading on some Southampton fans forums that Finn Azaz has so far been a big disappointment and isn't convincing them tha...
@presidentjump I didn't see the Liverpool v Southampton game but read that they played and defended quite well - though I noted the Saints had rest...
Many thanks for all your comments on the preview, they are very much appreciated. I'm back to my bathroom renovation project shortly after taking the ...
@paulinboro I think I probably predicted we'd be 4 points clear of relegation...
What a weekend of results for Boro with Bristol City now losing 3-1 at home to Oxford - who were second-bottom before kick-off. That means Boro are ...
@presidentjump You could look at it another way in that the odds of another consecutive defeat for my preview on probability grounds are now almost...
@jarkko or if you like just 52 points required from the next 40 games at 1.3 points per game...
@presidentjump I think Exmil was being generous when he said Boro never win when I write the preview - Boro have actually lost every game when I wr...
@jarkko Boro now 5 points ahead of Leicester and 10 ahead of Ipswich and Southampton!
