    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?

    Dejected Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg.

    Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg admitted the Teessiders were not good enough after they suffered a late, shock defeat to Portsmouth.

    Conor Chaplin scored in the 97th minute with Portsmouth's only shot on target to stretch Middlesbrough's winless run to six games.

    Ipswich have marched clear in the race for the second automatic promotion place and Hellberg admits they were poor.

    "We were not good enough," he told BBC Radio Tees. "We lacked energy, quality and structure.

    "That is different from other games. Sometimes we played well without the result. Today we were not good enough except defensively. It makes you flat and disappointed.

    "We didn't have our best game. We played three in a week, some games are better than others. We didn't defend the second phase of the corner well enough. That has been a theme of the home games.

    "Six in a row without a win from a team that plays good football. That is not a feeling you want, we are trying to make it right but we are not succeeding. That is my responsibility."

  17. Aerial view of Durham in sunshine. The cathedral, castle and associated buildings stand in the bend of the river with the city spread out on either side behind. The scene is saturated in colour, with the river a deep blue, fringed by trees in a variety of autumnal colours.
