But that's where we find ourselves as Middlesbrough welcome Coventry City to the Riverside for the Championship's biggest game of the season so far on Tuesday (19:45 GMT)."
"Kim Hellberg has been announced as Rob Edwards' replacement in the Boro hotseat but will take charge after Tuesday's match, with the experienced Adi Viveash running things against a club where he spent seven seasons as assistant to Mark Robins. And the key question will be what secrets Viveash has for stopping the free-flowing Sky Blues goal machine. Frank Lampard's side have racked up 43 goals in just 16 games and will go 10 points clear at the top if they earn a 10th win in 11 matches."
