Watched the highlights today on MOTD.
Very enjoyable game,plenty of incidents and arsenal had Ramsdale to thank for them staying in the game after a lot of second half pressure from Liverpool

I see the ex Ross County midfielder, who just happens to coach Burnley U31s, is giving Rovers some stick.

I know you needed the win but coming back from two down it's probably a point won rather than two lost?

Yes, very much my view and pleased with a good first half and very, very good second half. Sloppy defending cost us but equally with a bit more luck we could have had four in the second half.
6th or higher is still in our hands but we can't afford any more slips.

It seems none of the teams competing for the playoffs can take advantage of others failing. Despite taking only one point from six over the holidays we remain 6th.
Rovers are on 62 points. Our last five games are against Coventry (9th - 59) Preston (7th - 62), Burnley (1st) Luton (3rd - 71), Millwall (5th - 62). Plus we have a game in hand.....the Burnley match!!!
Dropping five points hasn't been the disaster it could have been but there's no doubt we've really put pressure on ourselves. One win would have made a big difference.

Indeed Boro 1 point from 9 since the Intl break. Luton have gained and Preston have pulled themselves up into the running
You have an unenviable run in!

Interesting you say this. We, that's myself and my two lads, haven't considered it this way at all but see this as a great opportunity as it's in our hands to beat the clubs we're directly competing with for a playoff spot. Beating PNE and Coventry is vital to create a gap. Coventry is home so we have the backing of the crowd, hopefully, we've sold out 4500 at Deepdale so the team won't lack support. Luton is home and I'd take a draw. I think Millwall away for our last game is very tough and we have Burnley. The stakes are always high in this fixture and this is probably the most important in the history of this derby - I really can't think about which way it will go. I think four wins, perhaps three and a draw will get us sixth place.
Pleased to see the club have only given Burnley 2000 tickets for the fixture, the same as they gave us, when the Darwen End holds 8000 which BFC would have sold out.
I really hope our 12 academy graduates, who made it to the first team this season, give all for the club they have supported just as I have.

Boro form back with a bang, having stuffed 5 past Norwich and still 10 mins to go!
