I wouldn't expect Birmingham away to be easy.

Silly old bat
None of the games are easy, but it is winnable.
Every game is winnable, that means nothing. He said 'very winnable', as in, it stands out from most games as a bit easier. I would put Birmingham away on the more difficult side of the scale.

Would people think this would be "a good point"
Or do we have to beat them. Surely this blip for Hull/Boro can't go on for much longer - though I think Rhodes is the Graham Hick of Champ strikers

They're not out of sight but they beat a p*ss poor MK Dons 5 - 0 while we scraped a 2 -1 win against a weakened 10 man MK team .. reality check?

Yes, it would be. If we then won 5 of our last 7, it would leave us on 87 points, which should be enough if one of those 5 wins is agains Midds.
They still only got 3 points for it tho, same as us.

Only if you have your binoculars round the wrong way!

Burnley drew 1-1 with Leeds, we smashed them 4-0. It's the Championship, there's no point looking at isolated fixtures and results.

And lost 2-0 at home to Preston. You can't generalise from one result.
It can't be classed as 'a good point'. A draw would be classed as 'well at least we didn't lose'. But it's definitely not a must win game. Just listen to Hughton's MK Dons pre match conference - there are no must win games. He's just so bloody sensible.
'boro's blip ended on Friday when they beat their promotion rivals. Hull's blip is about to end.
I think my desperation to be wrong might be a little too obvious.
They couldn't score against a piss poor Reading. It's the Championship in it.
Why must we not lose? Will losing mean we can't finish top two? No it won't mean that. If we were level with 2 minutes to go and you gave me the option to toss a coin for either team to get a winner, I'd take it. Regardless of the result, there will still be 7 games left and it will be all to play for.
There are too many games left to think that it all depends on ours and 'boros next game.

And play LR on the right flank. Not sure what's wrong with Knocky, but I don't think Skalak is quite good enough there. The cross was his one bright moment.
Because, and don't forget I said if Middlesbrough win, we would then be 7 points behind Burnley, and 2 points behind Middlesbrough who would have one more to play. With only 7 games left.
I am not interested in mathematics and statistically unlikely outcomes.
If we lost, after Middlesbrough have beaten QPR, then I don't believe we could finish top 2.
2 points behind 'boro is not insurmountable (and note that even if we draw against Burnley we'd still be a point behind 'boro, so it wouldn't be much different). We play them on the last game of the season, so we could catch the 2 points then. We'd just have to get as many points in our next 6 games as 'boro get in their 7, of course that could be done. In our last 6 games we've got 14 points, in 'boros last 7 they've got 12.
There is no point really in playing all these games out on paper.
All that needs to happen is. The players stay fit. They stay focussed. They give 100% in every match. They take one game at a time. And if they beat the opposition the rest will take care of itself
