    So after 6/6 things appear more rosy - what's certain is gaps are forming.

    Boro I would say are so far underachieving considering squad / spend and could come alive at any point.

    We have a grim record up there and I don't see that changing - we're scoring goals however are a leaky bucket.

    3-1 Boro, TWTD in meltdown.

    We've been in good form lately, but Middlesbrough are rightly considered to be favourites for this one. We don't have the worst of records at the Riverside, but for some reason Middlesbrough away always makes me apprehensive.

    I'll go for a narrow 2-1 defeat, but I would welcome a draw.

    We've won one of our last 8, 2 in our last 13 at the Riverside!

    Boro aren't playing particularly well and with our confidence sky high at the moment I reckon we will get at least a draw.

    Two draws three defeats in the past five meetings for us at the Riverside sadly. We're due a win there ;)

    Interesting December on the way then, 15 to play for.

    Can Cardiff / Sheff Utd + Bristol City keep going or could they tail off !? Such an interesting league this. If you take your Ipswich hat off, fans of Boro/Leeds/Wendy will be expecting a hell of a lot more. Can Norwich finally win a game!?!? Seriously, how the hell are they 16th with that squad?! Reading + Fulham came top 6 last term as we know, look at them now! Also, looks a very interesting relegation dogfight on the way. All to play for in this ridiculous league as ever.....

    I can only see the customary 2 nil defeat, especially if Assombalomga plays.
    If we can get a draw, that would be a fantastic point achieved

    Stretchy I'm the same as you.

    Not a bad line up, pleased Garner is back in the 18. Actually have a couple of options....

    I don't think it would've been fair on any of them if they we're dropped, so fair for sticking with the same eleven (other than dropping Iorfa for captain marvelous)

    Spanish, still can't forgive them for the 1981 defeat that cost us the league.
