This is another six pointer. It'd be very helpful to win it but it's also true to say that we're pushing our luck at the moment in terms of the the laws of probability and there must come a point soon when we have one or two disappointing results. Having said that, if we could beat Middlesborough that'd make the possibility of consolidation in the playoff places a lot more practical.
I've always insisted that this is our natural minimum achievement level with this squad but my only misgiving is whether we've put our sprint in a bit early.
