Ipswich are marching on winning at Bournemouth

I just hope after a brilliant first half that the sending off does not cause us problems in getting a 3rd goal Reading may very well just go for dmamge limitation

Normally playing against 10 causes problems but hey not today.....go on Boro slaughter them...is Ledesma ok by the way?

Whats the atmos like at the ground Anglian Red?

Right over 100 guests paying attention to possibly one of the best Boro performances for quite a while so please sign in and comment second half....would love to see this thread match the Boro lads

I seriously think that we can go on and get a great win should we manage to get a third goal and hey who scores I do not care and BDS I know you want a 2-1 win but most of us would love to see a free scoring Boro in the second half. AR what do the fans sound like today and is there a good attendance?

There certainly is a different feel about The Boro now do you not agree?

What a stunning goal from Leadbitter....think we should just shoot from distance now

Brum 3 up at Blackburn Bolton beating Leicester FYI

Would love it simply love it if Marvin was to score or Juke or Leddy just to get that bloody elusive second goal.....UTB

120 guests.................come on sign in and type your support for Boro...leys end 2013 on a high

You just know we HAVE to score a second goal and preferably get a 2 goal advantage....this sounds as if it will be a great game for the fans

Terrific goal and fyi they are showing the goals as they go in on Sky.............great back header by Juke great strike by AA

Know what you mean Kev but I would imagine there are a fair few members at the game today but certainly would be good to see some of the guests sign in and simply state how they feel we are doing. Big game today and a changing Boro that could very well surprise us. Come on no lurking simply post as the Boro goals go in:D

Agree with the Woodgate comments and with the bench comments......though I do not see a flurry of interest in Williams tbh. A team that can do something IF we fire all at the same time......Juke simply has to take any chance that comes his way I believe. Very good chance of winning today in my opinion do not see this as a goaless draw.

Oh dear oh dear..England were dreadful an that not being unkind. Will expect to see a few changes come Sri Lanka test match this summer. The Aussies will give SA a good run for their money

In your opinion should Boro move heaven and earth to retain the services of Shay Given beyond his current loan deal? Hand on heart whilst I think our Jason is a very promising keeper the professional manner in the way SG goes about his business I believe has benefited the entire defence and midfield since his arrival and we should do what we can to keep hold of him. Jason Steele can only learn from his retention

Sunday 29th December 3pm Kick Off. Venue The Riverside aka "The theatre of hopes rising" The last league game of 2013 sees the arrival of the enigma that is also known as Reading FC to the land of all things bright and Boroful. I really do not know what to expect of them because they are a real Jeckyl and Hyde team at the moment losing their last 2 games but sitting very comfortably at the top end of the league and in many fans view a certainty of getting promotion. Simarly we have won 2 on the spin for the first time this season so what will be the outcome 3 out of 3 for Boro or

Striker striker and hopefully a striker

Totally brilliant and my goodness I do my first match day thread this year and get 2 wins on the spin......onto Reading now 3 out of 3????

There you are be positive we nearly scored again lol!!

5 mins for Boro to get a second...must be positive!

Said this would be a real nailbiter we simply need to hold on and be composed just a pity we do not have that crucial second goal but our attacking options have been nulified to a degree

Would suggest that it is time for the whole team to defend...........as long as we leave a lone player to break away Lucky lucky us missed goal from 3 yards.............phew

Have to agree with 2+2 maybe L Williams or Butterfield might have been a better shout. We obviously will only score from distance shots though maybe a fast breakaway might just seal this game
