Haha, cant fault you viv, during this awful season you've stayed calm & kept your head, not critcised the team at all, put your points across, tonights win you can hold your head up 👍

I've been more critical of this team than I ever have supporting the Boro, after that half im eating humble pie, hopefully we can show the same passion & attitude v Huddefsfield
 
Well.

I certainly didn't see that coming at 1-0 down.

The equaliser just before half time clearly knocked the stuffing out of them and gave us an almighty lift.
 
This sort of game and performance is precisely why I’ve been more optimistic about the season than a large number of other posters. Wigan were very, very poor but they’re representative of a large chunk of teams in the division IMO.

Three or four wins on the bounce for Boro and we saunter into the top half and look up rather than down going into November, the World Cup break, Christmas fixtures and the January window.

The performance we put in last night has been lurking for ages, or was until maybe Cardiff at home. The sense we’d pump somebody 4 or 5-1. There is talent in this team. It needs strengthening in midfield, if we do that in January then it can still be a positive season for the club. The new manager has some talent to work with.

We’re a little short in places but so is every other team in the division, including those who’ve come down with parachute payments. Watford are four points above us but we we really should’ve won at Vicarage Road IMO. Or drawn at the very least. So for all the talent in their squad, we’re not really that far off them. Think of the stupid points we dropped earlier on as well, at Stoke in particular.

Teams may look crap for 3, 4, 5 games but it only takes a decent win to turn it around and set you on your way. Which is why a sense of perspective is so important in the Championship.

They key for Boro and whoever is taking over is putting consistent form together. Fry, Dijksteel, Giles, Crooks, Akpom(his attitude and general performances are so refreshing from where they were), Jones… there’s some good quality there, IF they apply themselves consistently. It’s no good not beating Huddersfield now.

You can’t beat a resounding midweek away win under the lights. You see how a bit of aggression and attacking intent can change the mood. Long may it continue.

I have to be fair, I did say we were a team of bottlers after the Blackburn game. I’ve criticised them TBH. But it only takes a little run of wins in this league and you can really fly. If we can be consistent and add a quality midfielder then we won’t be far away.

It helps the championship is very tight this year. The top 2 having 27pts after 15/16 games is probably about 3/5pts off where you would expect at this stage. Blackburn are 2nd with less than 1.7pts a game average.

I'd like to think so viv, maybe, as lasts performance shows, if we bring in tbe correct midfield player playing in last nights formation then yes, you could see the confidence within the players in the 2nd half, which could have been a coincidence, we got the breaks resulting in our 4 goals, football can be so simple

Maybe a cheeky loan bid by Carrick for Ronaldo, 😉 he's clearly not happy there 😁

I know this is tongue in cheek but I Wouldn’t want such a bellend anywhere near us regardless of how good he is. Last night showed what an absolute disgrace he is

Totally agree with this.

The bloke thinks he's bigger than the team, club, everyone.

He's nothing but a self centered, egotistical w@nker
