It's been quite a few days on Teesside.
Boro's last-gasp defeat by lowly Portsmouth dealt their automatic promotion hopes a huge blow on Saturday as Ipswich capitalised to take over second place.
However, the Tractor Boys also lost to Pompey on Tuesday night, though their south coast rivals Southampton kept up their winning streak to climb into fourth, above Kim Hellberg's side on goal difference.
Just three points separate four teams in the battle for second but Boro head to Portman Road for a crunch match on Sunday (12:00 BST) while Ipswich also visit Southampton during the run-in.
So how are you feeling, Boro fans? Has this run of three points from six games blown your chances, or is the door still open to get things right in the final four games? And does the final-day trip to Wrexham make you fear for even a top-six finish with the way things are going?
Middlesbrough's defeat significantly harmed their automatic promotion hopes, allowing Ipswich to overtake them for second place in the standings.
Ipswich's loss to Portsmouth followed their previous win over Middlesbrough, complicating their promotion bid and allowing Southampton to climb into fourth place.
