Do you think we’ll beat Swansea ?

No. This is a “typical Boro” moment if ever there was one. Said the same about Blackburn.

Blackburn wasn’t really a typical Boro moment though as we drew and were a whisker away from winning at the end

I suppose it’s good to still have something to play for, even if it is just a very slim chance of the playoffs

If Norwich lose and we win, were only 3 pts behind. Still a tough ask with our fixtures but it will definitely be game on if it happens.

Only 3 points is quite a lot with 5 games left after today though. It’s Norwich place to lose really with their run in looking far easier, on paper at least, than ours - and let’s not forget Coventry, Preston, and Hull as well.

One thing you've got to remember when you talk about Norwich's run in is how poor they've been away, they've only won 2 out of their last 11 away games. So though some of those games look like nailed on wins, they might not be.....but like you say we need basically 4 different teams to slip up!

Very typical Boro. Had some good results, needed to win against a struggling team at home to keep slim play off hopes alive, played poorly in an awful game and ended up with a frustrating bore draw.
 
I think they’ve won something like 5 out of their last 6 away games and our home form isn’t dazzling. It’ll be a tough afternoon.

I don't think Swansea's away firm is that good is it?
I make it 9 points from 7 matches since the turn of the year. They won at Hull and Sunderland.

I might be misunderstanding though. Did you mean Ipswich's away form?

You’re right it was ‘not lost’ rather than ‘won’ my misreading.

Not a fixture I relish.

I've not kept tabs in them this year, but in the past Swansea have been the poster boys for aimless possession, attempting to establish "the Swansea way". It's not attractive.

They may have changed, but otherwise expect a lot of passing back and forth between their centre backs.

They've not changed.
Lots of possession, but it doesn't help them score and it doesn't keep the opposition out.

Doesn't make for an attractive match imho.
