Forget everyone else we have to be mentally prepared to win all 5 games , no slip ups, even then we could still finish second....

Disappointing as tonight's result was, we are still in a stronger position than we were before our match yesterday, with 3 of our remaining 5 matches at home.

I have to disagree, it was very very uncertain.
Must be links to this thread elsewhere...

Am I allowed to say reading are an odious bunch of inbred cants?
Blimey, do you take prisoners?
As you said 2 weeks ago it's Burnley we need to overhaul, and we will
I just didn't get the logic, that's all.We (as we all know) just need to overhaul one of them. A chance at both of them would be ideal. We're going to drop points, so just have to hope someone drops more. It doesn't look like it's going to be Middlesbrough, so let's just hope it's Burnley.
How's your calculator looking?

Can we remind all the Boro fans reading that our whole SQUAD for last nights match cost the same as the woeful Jordan Rhodes?No pressure on us lads - you should've won the league weeks ago with the money you've spent
We like to keep it late, just to give you some false hope for the last game. Its all part of our evil plan to win this division. Just like the last four times previously we've won it. Not sure how many times Brighton have won it like.
Rhodes is shit. But to be fair you could have Messi, Suarez and Neymar upfront and they'd all be sitting on three goals each. #Karankaball
I still think its wide-open. The game against Bolton will be classic Boro making a early morning Saturday stroll into a climb up Everest. Burnley do the look the most vulnerable at this stage though. Dyche is an absolute chunt and we all hate him. He's ginger and smells of wee. (Probably.) He really does hate us and stems all the way back to the FA Cup semi-final in 1997 when he was playing for Chesterfield. Was a **** when he came to the Riverside with Watford and was a **** the last two times he's arrived in town.
I can't dislike Brighton though, your manager is nice, you liking knocking Poocastle out of the FA Cup and you don't employ Joey Barton.

This result has no impact on my hopes of us going up, nor should it impact us as a team. In fact I am quite happy if Borough win all their remaining games, I think they will go up as champions. Its Burnley that are most likely to slip up here. Their style is one dimensional and they have just about scraped by the last few games, their run surely must come to an end whereas us and Borough have been through our blip.
They have two tough games coming up and I expect them to drop points.

tinky ****in winky
my thoughts exactly......it's in our hands , have to win our next three games cos the last 2 are gonna be tough......!!!
Yes, but also we couldn't finish lower than second either. That'd do me.
Well, it looks like you did your best to scare the sh!t out of them, so no abuse of Reading from me. Shame you couldn't hold on but, hey, Middlesbrough did a Brighton.

We'll all be very happy if you beat Burnley next week. I did wonder why you particularly disliked Dyche ( even though he is clearly dislikable ).We like to keep it late, just to give you some false hope for the last game. Its all part of our evil plan to win this division. Just like the last four times previously we've won it. Not sure how many times Brighton have won it like.

There was a logic, twisted maybe. Easy in hindsight but I knew Boro were going to win that, even though they very nearly didn't. I thought if they are going to win then win well and win convincingly. A) I think we have a much much better chance of catching Burnley and B) (if (if if if) that's the case) I'd rather they had nothing to play for when we go up there
Here's the calculator (not predictor - LOL) I'm feeling pretty bullish right now. In isolation I can't see any reason why we shouldn't win all of the next 4, except it will mean 6 on the spin
Derby arguably the toughest but by the time they come here they'll be well and truly in play offs and hopefully conserving themselves and avoiding injuries for the upcoming lottery
Off all the matches left for the top 3 the one that bothers me the most is Brum v Burnley. Brum seem to have imploded, nothing now to play for but just hope they can pick themselves up one more time
Albumen
Don't wait for me!
All three are scoring 90 min goals. Stuff of champions. But whoooooooooooo?
Obviously you didn't know they were going to win, although we all expected them to. But that's not relevant, the question was whether or not we wanted them to win.
Agreed.
But, but, but, although it was more likely we'd catch Burnley, if 'brough had lost points yesterday (which is what we wanted) there'd be a reasonable chance of catching them. We have to catch one of two teams. To make it one of one does us no favours.
You're in dreamland
