Top 6 for the day, hopefully West Brom drop points tomorrow and we're sitting pretty for 2 weeks.

Just got back. Looks like I missed a cracker. 

 

Edmundson was ill today and threw up on the pitch, so he did really well to play as long as he did.

What a great day! 

Found those spaces and broke their press at every opportunity. We didn't need to get out of second gear

Nice way to go into the international break

That's arguably our best and most balanced starting 11.

"Recruitment has been tosh. Excluding Doak we have plodders. Ayling now runs like he's 50 years old..."

This was you literally 6 days ago, and I cut out three paragraphs slagging off other players, the manager and the team. 😂

Burgzorg was excellent today. Thought he made a real difference.

He is some unit I would have hated trying to defend against him, he shields the ball really well and has real pace, he could be a very good signing for us

Highlights coming shortly for you

Stood waiting for my lift, how a couple of solid games changes the picture 

This league is for the taking presently. A run of 10 games averaging over 2 points would see us (or anyone else) heading top...

Goals are flowing now. Let's hope we hold on to this momentum for 2 weeks and start as we've finished...

Fair play to Carrick. He has been saying all season that we would click in front of goal. 
 

I as critical that McGree was on the bench but Burgzorg took his goals well. I would still prefer McGree on the left when fit though.

Slow start and some sloppy passing but once we scored the first it was game over. Sparkling goals from LL and Azaz.

A third international break already is ridiculous but we just have to hope Doak in particular comes back fit.

I thought he was pretty quiet and ineffective until his goal. Then he burst into life. I'm guessing he's very much a confidence player

Just for you and all other Boro ex pats please enjoy some stunning goals to watch

Agreed. It's great that we now seem to have an effective backup and alternative to mcgree, but riley is very much still the man for that spot

 

What terrific sportsmanship and un selfish play that was from ELL to ensure the fourth goal.

He probably could have scored himself but a true gent

Also of note RF continued their "protest" today (also known as well and truly throwing their toys out of the pram!) and we still won.

Perhaps we don't need that drummer after all
