That is a concern of mine. They’ve given their all. The resting time they will have this week is crucial.

We *were* brilliant at creating chances, and yes, it is definitely churlish to criticise the team for that.

Losing key men and missing chances at the wrong time has hurt what needs to be lifted most - morale. The injuries to Hackney, Whittaker and Castledine have been an instance of simply rotten luck.

And we’ve still got this. Automatic promotion may be out of our hands right now but we were four points behind the second placed team, with fewer goals scored, in 1998. And that was *also* with six games to go. And we made it in the end. It really isn’t over ‘til it’s over. #Boro #UTB

Regarding The Truman Show, the insight this review provides on Lauren-Sylvia in its closing paragraph really got me thinking - and I came to agree with it.

The one with the "Fett Up With Star Wars" caption. It's a great review.

I am a #Boro fan. I see us very well placed in our best chance of promotion to the top tier in years and yet we seem weighed down by the historical precedent of being built up and let down repeatedly. Just because it happened then, and often, doesn’t mean it has to happen now. We’ve got this. #UTB

I’ll add - there are two sequels in my top ten and I definitely make no apologies for that.

Wonderfully put, Walter. I’ve heard this kind of thinking about, say, West Side ‘21 many times over. Every time I return to it or a scene from it find something new and valuable, and that’s what a great film can do.

I think one thing is that we‘ve had the Typical Boro thing for years. He’s experienced it for weeks. So the perspectives can’t help but be different, even though he’d be right to hint at keeping calm.
