Can we get promoted to the Premier League?

There is no question that the club can get promoted this season – quite how that happens however is debatable.

The top three sides in the league are so tight and one win can take you from third and a play-off place to the top of the league and into an automatic promotion place.

Boro will not want to risk the lottery of the play-offs and have been good enough this season and certainly consistent enough to hope for one of those top two spots and to go up automatically. Winning the league would be nice but the main aim is promotion, however that happens.
