Unofficial "Official" Boro v Stoke City Match Day Thread. [Can we still get top 6?]

Great afternoon after an awful start. How many times have we started that slowly and gone on to lose. Having NW as manager recognising what was wrong and having the nounce to put it right made all the difference.
Still in the hunt!
 
That is an excellent win.
We're no closer to the play-offs mathematically, but I do think we can catch Barnsley.
 
Well despite the first twenty minutes that was thoroughly enjoyable some great play some great chances.

One great save from Betenelli.
Great team performance.

one observation McNair too defensive at times. At about seventy minutes great move down the left three in the box and he declines the cross, likewise with the free kick at the end we are three up and he doesn’t put it in the box - a bit odd but nothings gonna stop me enjoying this moment.

very comfortable stress free day today.
 
Get in. Needed a win there. I'd give hall man of the match, despite winning 3 nil. Had a lot to do as they had more of the ball. Morsy and Bola played well. Bettinelli looked like a proper goalkeeper. Very important save at 2 nil. Johnson and NML both looked decent coming on.
We miss a decent centre forward so much. I'd play bolasie or watmore upfront. We've got Johnson Tav kebano watmore bolasie and NML who play behind and all offer something. I'd rather have another of them on the field than Britt or akpom. And of those two Britt is the far better player. It says a lot when you're bringing him on for his workrate.
