Boro Away - Match Thread

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Fair enough. That's one win in about 5 years then. The last 2 games we've lost IIRC. They are still a bogey team but hey we did beat the other bogey team Watford this season!

[MmmMonsterMunch]

The game at Upton Park could be pivotal now...

Definitely going to that one to see some Kebe magic. Pull your socks up!

[Libertine]

Just a few observations...

Absolute pure class free kick by Harte for the 2nd...
That was a quality Middlesbrough team, except for the final third (which might be a reflection of how good we are at the back)...
And of course rock solid defending, and another clean sheet, yet again...
What a horrible turnout for Middlesbrough with those who did bother showing up for a 6 pointer making little noise and leaving early...

Really impressed with Connolly too.

Great win, roll on.

Agreed. You have to wonder whether their attack is just shit or our defence is fantastic.

Either way a fantastic away performance and a result I didn't expect. I really think we could get top 2 now.

Yeah coming into it I was thinking if we could get out with a point it would be a good result. 3 points are absolutely massive. Yep only 4 points behind West Ham and 5 points behind the Saints with a game in hand on them. Top 2 looks like a real possibility. We just need the team to take it one game at a time and stay focused.

[Ian Royal]

14 1-0 wins and we'll finish top on 99 points with a GD of +28

Oh, and we'll smash the record for longest time without conceeding and put it at about 1734 minutes.

I think I may be getting a bit carried away.

Nahhhh you're good

Wrong again. Last 3 games: Drew 1-1, Won 2-0, Lost 1-0. Only Fratton Park where we struggle

We do generally struggle against Pompey though. Try to find the last win against them before the 2-0 you mentioned - home or away. They are a massive bogey team for us so I won't be expecting much from that game.

Thank you Ian. That is what I suspected. Bloody awful!!

Off topic but Matt Mills off to Leeds on loan & has had a bust up with Pearson. Massive LOL. What a complete pcunt. Stinking attitude.

[glass half full]

This time we will put Pompey through the mincer.

I heard it was 36 from the last 42 as well?

36 from the last 45*

[Simon's Church]

Longest winning streak out of anyone in the league this season

A lot of clubs have won 4 but we're the only ones with 5.

[RoyalJames101]

Ah. Tis still not a bad run.

[seahawk10]

Fantastic result, I think we had a few games in this run when we weren't playing our best but got a result. It looks we are really rounding into shape now. Just loverly...

[1871 Royal]

Playing ugly football but winning > Playing pretty football and losing, especially in The Championship

[SLAMMED]

Hunt has scored(from an elaborate set play) but, apart from that he's ran around like lee hughes on speed...
time for a change ASAP !!

Unfortunately I don't think we're gonna see a change- Brian don't change a winning team. Not the season for the purist, but a great one for those who just want to see 1-0, 2-0 flash up on the vidiprinter

[JC]

As a matter of interest when did we last have a game where we made no substitutions?
