Archer's runs make it easy for Hackney to find him but he's still got to have the vision to play the ball. Two quality players in a very good Boro team.We could see this a consistent theme now. Hackney has assisted Archer twice with 2 wonderful through balls.
We have some excellent footballers.
Hackney was outstanding last night but Archer as a proper forward….my word the lad is top draw and going to be a top premier league striker. Hopefully for us because I think Carrick and danksy will persuade him the boro project (premier league then European football) is the best place for him….Amazing to watch,still finding it hard to believe the football we are playing, it's simply wonderful to watch
Wilder was stubborn , he refused to accept Hackney was ready despite a stand out performance v Barnsley. He was head and shoulders the best player on the park that night despite the loss.How Wilder didn’t see what Leo could is pretty baffling. Hackney has started his career very well and looks a very good player. His composure with the ball is incredible. He never gets flustered and looks to make a positive pass at all times.

His second was the best. The first instinctive and a case of get good connection aim on target and hope. The second he has time to think and had the technique to put it exactly where it needed to be. It was a great finish.Archer is looking phenomenal.
I can't stop watching the goals from last night, all were brilliant but Archer's second reminded me of something we've not seen since McClaren's expensive chaps.
A few months ago I would have though a player like him would be out of our reach in the long term, but who wouldn't want to be part of what is happening at our club right now?
Exactly! So many times I've seen players find themselves in that position and they just die inside.His second was the best. The first instinctive and a case of get good connection aim on target and hope. The second he has time to think and had the technique to put it exactly where it needed to be. It was a great finish.
I felt when Carrick came in that he'd want to go all Dr Evil on Hackney and would be one of the best teachers Hackney could hope for.Hayden hackney the teesside xavi
Does Hackney ever pass the ball backwards?!
From what Maddo said it was the coaches and academy that were united in pushing for him to get a game after Wilder went, so whilst Leo deserves the credit for picking him it's obvious that was a collective opinion on Hackney's potential.How Wilder didn’t see what Leo could is pretty baffling. Hackney has started his career very well and looks a very good player. His composure with the ball is incredible. He never gets flustered and looks to make a positive pass at all times.
