Neil Warnock- no favours: // It will be foolish to think tha

Neil Warnock- no favours: // It will be foolish to think that there are any easy games. We know very well that any team can beat any other. However , I will be very surprised and disappointed if we don't make the playoffs. When we do - I feel quite confident about our chances.


Playoffs is a knock-out competition and we have come right at the perfect time and are full of confidence and playing some nice football to match.

We also have a strong bench to effect plan B if we have to. Harris's subtitutions have been inpirational at times.

We all know ex players up their game against former teams - they also know the strength and weakness of their ex team.


The same applies to Warnock. Make no mistake he will do us no favours. He will give it his best shot. Still I expect us to win.

I expect us to win. We are a better side now.

Playing better football and appear to be confident in our style of play.

Onwards!

Warnock still needs 3 points otherwise I think it might be more relaxed

A draw would guarantee Boro safety

They might mathematically need the points but in reality they are safe and I think they know that. They like everyone else have played a lot of hard matches in three weeks and I just feel they may take their foot of the gas as despite what Warnock tells them they will have just a little less motivation than us.

Play a different way now whilst hs may have known players weaknesses because he managed them those weaknesses could be eradicated under Harris....

By kick off on Saturday Boro could be mathematically safe.

With Barnsley losing to Leeds tonight they can now not catch Boro.

With Hull playing Luton on Saturday one of them already cannot catch Boro.

That brings us to the 12:30 kick off on Saturday, Wigan vs Charlton. If Wigan drop ANY points then with the 12 point deduction they also cannot catch Boro.

Everyone knows my thoughts on Neil Warnock as a person.

But he's an extremely good football manager at this level, nobody can deny that.

This will be a very tough game for us and, in normal circumstances, I'd be happy with a draw away at a Neil Warnock team.

But we need a win and it will come down to how well we can cope with their tactics and whether we have enough creativity on the pitch at the crucial periods to get the win.
