agree in some respects, and should still be strong enough to beat them, but personally I think they need to keep the momentum going so would possibly throw a few more first teamers in too - Simms from the start, Tats on the bench, O’Hare maybe too

Surely go for a win ? while we are on the crest of a wave form wise - lets win it

Good point, hadn't thought about that, must be the first time this season.

Blues away season before last,O'Hares sunglasses moment,was the last time

Absolute treat beating Boro. Just like Sunderland fans, they were hammering us all week for taking a respectable 1000 fans up there.

Boro were seeking attention as the big clubs in the NE were playing each other. They got it!

Apparently the last time was the 4-2 win at Brum - the O'Hare sunglasses game!

Had their comms on and they were very fair.
Always found Boro fans to be sound, not bothered what a few roasters on social media say.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Second half an absolute master class from everyone. Can I put my neck out and say we will beat Leicester?

Same, a good set of fans

Boro fans sound, best in North east for me (likeable)

Worst accents, but the most realistic and reasonable.

Who does not love a parmo !

 

[curly_tom]

And they have Bob Mortimer so must be ok...

 

[RegTheDonk]

Did we gel yet?

I think so , and we don't have to start again in the Summer like every other year , they're all ours

Team woke up after we equalised. Comfortable 2nd half as really we were against Swansea.
Really have enjoyed my three trips to Middlesboro in last 7 months. Enjoyable few hours before game and Middlesbrough fans and bars are good.
A great Birthday present!

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Loved the smirk and banter from Haji to Simms when he poked in that goal, they are then laughing together about it.
The spirit is there in the squad again and playing well enough to consistently be up there at the end of the year.

 

[Cally Fedora]

That’s a really impressive win. Sakamoto and Wright absolutely top class. Full backs excellent second half. Collins solid as was Thomas. All in all an excellent festive period.

 

[clint van damme]

2 points better off than after 26 games last season.

 

[Gint11]

Great win E I E I E I O

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Equalised really quickly after conceding in both games, so important.

 

[Kingokings204]

Where is saddlebrains? Must admit I agreed with him on today before the game but bloody hell how good were we second half. Grant it we should be 3-0 down at half time but the fact we got in at 1-1 meant we could only get better second half.
Robins is my god

 

[M&B Stand]

I have a bad feeling about this so going with 3-1 win

Shout

 

[wingy]

Can't believe the phone in, suggestion put a weakened team against Oxford and Leicester cos nobody wins against em, yeah why should we do a favour to those in reach?

Oxford I can understand even if I don't necessarily agree, but Leicester?
What's wrong with people?

 

[blunted]

Well my shit predictions continue, although in my defence, I didn't realise they were missing hell of a lot of players through injury and the Asian Cup. They put 3 men on Saka and he still nearly had a hat trick. Unsure if the shot that hit the post was deflected.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Again 3-1 win get your house in it

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Got a feeling we will beat Leicester

If we can do that the sky’s the limit. Kitching will be back for that too right?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Great result. Really starting to feel like that great run we went on from February last year.
We’ve well and truly got ourselves back in the play picture.

Some might not care, but a great day for sport in general in the city -

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

It was only a few weeks ago we were looking over our shoulder at the bottom 3, so hard to beat now, just like last season

At one stage QPR were 6 points behind us, now it's 16 points

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If we can do that the sky’s the limit. Kitching will be back for that too right?

They will also have lost a number of players to AFCON.

 

[Ashdown]

Class performance in the second half. Robins worked his magic at half time and we looked like another team.

 

[David O'Day]

hull losing now, good day

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Rooney’s brought more destruction to St Andrews than the years of subsidence

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Brilliant goal 2-0

 

[HerneBayGaz]

SSN reporter says City well deserving of their 3-1 lead

Saying we have totally bossed it in this second half.

Well, he's right

 

[Gleneagles65]

hull losing now, good day

2.0 now.
