Sure we were first team to start doing that under Big Jack. We used to get crucified for doing it. Part of the game now
Yak definitely best I’ve seen at itYakubu was a master at it. Britt and Saville did well tonight with it too.
Not too sure if that's the case red with us been the 1st but we did get hammered for our style even though we were so dominant throughout the whole season & brushing teams apart with easeSure we were first team to start doing that under Big Jack.

Sav and Assombalonga did it great tonightI love it and I bet Warnock loves it.
We deffo used it when Jack was manager and cannot think of any club or international team doing it previous to that. Happy to be proved wrong thoughNot too sure if that's the case red with us been the 1st but we did get hammered for our style even though we were so dominant throughout the whole season & brushing teams apart with ease
Yes Yak was superb at it. Always felt the game was as good as over once he started.Yakubu was a master at it. Britt and Saville did well tonight with it too.
You could be right red, I just cant remember Boro doing it that much TBH, if we did it must have been carried out throughout the country by all teamsWe deffo used it when Jack was manager and cannot think of any club or international team doing it previous to that. Happy to be proved wrong though
Yes you are right there Erimus. Even when we slaughtered teams 1-0You could be right red, I just cant remember Boro doing it that much TBH, if we did it must have been carried out throughout the country by all teams
I was merely saying we got bad press for our 'dour football', in the media's eyes
i recall Jimmy Hill having a dig at the tactic when we featured for the only time on MoTD in 73-74 away to Villa. He praised our style of play overall but that we didn’t need to employ such negative tactics.I remember a 9 game winning streak under Jack in 73/74 season. 3 of those we won 4-0 and the press still said we were a dour team. I absolutely loved watching that team home and away.
It was superb. The mud just added to it, we totally sewed up the game in that corner. Saville epitomises everything about that side of the game!Sav and Assombalonga did it great tonight
