    How are you feeling after that last-gasp draw at Ipswich, Boro fans, besides frustrated?

    That's now seven games without a win, and just 12 points from a dozen games, but there were plenty of positives to take away from the performance at Portman Road.

    Do you expect the winless run to end with the visit of Sheffield Wednesday to The Riverside on Wednesday, and would that be enough to keep you in the fight for second spot and automatic promotion or has Ipswich's equaliser ended those hopes?

    Are you now focused on securing a top-six spot and avoiding any final-day showdown with play-off chasing Wrexham on the road?

    Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney and Morgan Whittaker are both "better" and have not been ruled out of the side's huge game against Ipswich Town on Sunday (12:00 BST), boss Kim Hellberg says.

    Midfielder Hackney has missed four league games with a calf injury, while top scorer Whittaker has not played in their past five.

    Boro are also missing midfielder Leo Castledine with a leg issue, and left-back Alex Bangura, who has struggled for fitness all season.

    Winger Sammy Silvera returned to the bench in the 1-0 loss to Portsmouth after an 11 game absence with a stress fracture.

    But Hellberg is hopeful that his key players can make their comeback in the four remaining games of the regular season.

    "Missing them is a big thing but all the players are getting closer to play," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees.

    "I hope that all those players that have been injured in a way will play a part in some of those games and then it's just a matter of time how quickly it is."
