Boro vs. Millwall 2-0 (Assombalonga, Howson)

[FilBoro 2]

This will be a tough game. No way will Millwall just roll over. They need the points as much as we do.

They are in good form and are no strangers to scrapping for a play off place. They did it last season.

 

IMO it has to be our best team for both games. And we need to win both of them.

A winning mentality is going to be key in the play offs.

Game Day

C'mon BORO.

 

Massive game, let's get this done.

Getting a bit nervous about this one. Millwall have done really well this year and I fear we will be pushed back by their pressing game and end up camped far too deep a lot of the time. Hopefully we can catch them on the break with tray-tray.

 

I would start same team as v Derby with bamford back in for britt

 

1-0 boro. Bamford to score in 72nd minute

Feeling pretty nervous too... coming off our two best results of the season though, so I guess it's now or never!

I don't think we have any players close to a suspension for cumulative yellows anyway.

 

It would have to be 15 yellows to count for a suspension now I believe and I can't think of many who could be near that figure.

 

I think leadboots managed that many in one game

Tight 3-2 to the Boro, Ayala fgs, with Britt and Mighty Mo getting the other two. Let’s have this!

Villa 0-1 Derby

[Tom 294]

Barnsley beating Brentford though.

[Downsouth 647]

Hmmmm maybe Derby fans will have the last laugh?

 

If we beat Millwall and Derby win then that's the final 2 spots confirmed

If scores stay as they are, wouldn't a draw guarantee us 6th? Or is my maths that bad

Yep a draw would do it.

[Downsouth 647]

Technically no though I do not think Millwall will stuff Villa next week or us suffer a heavy defeat at Ipswich, but far better to get it out of the way and I prefer finishing 5th to be honest if we are good enough to win later on

[Tom 294]

Pretty much yes. Not mathematically, but would require Millwall to win next week, us to lose, and for them to make up an 8-goal swing.

[boro-unger 323]

As near as, barring a huge swing in gd.

 

Hope we don't go for a draw though if they do stay like this!

[Downsouth 647]

Barnsley now 2 up against Brentford
