"I thought the Middlesbrough game would be tighter against a Preston team who's had a really good season, but I think the recent form played out really. That's a fourth win in a row for Middlesbrough, and Preston have lost their past four and they're struggling to find the net. I thought if there was a flaw in their set-up in comparison to the other top teams - namely Coventry City and Ipswich Town."
"For Millwall, I think it's the most depth they've had in recent years with loads of exciting attacking players. They've been able to get Macaulay Langstaff and Josh Coburn in the line-up together, and Aziz has had an incredible season as well and played a part in their first goal. They've got a great opportunity this year, probably the best opportunity they've had in recent times to get in the play-offs and potentially the Premier League."
Middlesbrough defeated Preston 4-0, marking a fourth consecutive victory while Preston have lost four straight and are struggling to score. Recent form, rather than opponent quality, drove that result. Comparisons with other top teams such as Coventry City and Ipswich Town raised questions about goal output. Timely goals from Tommy Conway and the impact of Morgan Whittaker have improved offensive potency. Middlesbrough navigated a difficult week by winning at Stoke and then beating Preston convincingly. Millwall also won 4-0 against Charlton, showcasing unprecedented attacking depth with Macaulay Langstaff, Josh Coburn and Aziz contributing. Millwall possess a strong opportunity to reach the play-offs and push for the Premier League.
