Today it starts.. It will be great if Boro make it - But I have my doubts given their recent form especially Bamford's. Brentford v Boro Ipswich v Norwich winner 1 v winner 2 I see Boro losing to Ipswich in the final. What are your thoughts and predos?
Going for Norwich v Boro final. I've watched a lot of Championship football this year and I think those two will have too much. Could be wrong though.
Would love to see Brentford make it. Would be pure romance and better still, a further kick in the knackers for the West London bitters. A hat-trick of us being crowned champions, the Bees making the prem and that lot chewing relegation just sounds poetic all round. I have disliked Middlesbro intensely since 1988 and even 3 Wembley victories since that play off misery has done little to change that so I'll be delighted if they fail.
Also Jose's record against Boro (NE) club(s) not good. 2 losses in 6 matches. But Bamford's likely PL option is Boro's promotion.
Fair does. Glad Mick lost to Norwich. But if Norwich win Ruddy's rate will go up & Bamford might miss on a sure PL start. Could be double whammy or double delight? But playoffs are mere reflection of regular season games thus far. If that run holds Boro will be through..
