WHAT A RESULT WITH ALL OUR INJURIES 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Should have been more, West Brom were so, we grew as the game progressed, but a fanrastic win & for me our biggest league win of the season

WHAT A RESULT WITH ALL OUR INJURIES 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Exactly Lids, 11 senior players out & apart from a few skirmishes early doors, which were due to nothing more than their physicality, a great one handed save from Glover was their last chance, we just grew & grew & if we'd have won 5-0 it wouldnt have been an injustice

You can see how much we missed McGree his nice little touch football

[erimus74]

Geordies & Mackems lose 🤣

[erimus74]

Also a cleansheet too

Forgot about mention VDB coming back from injury, that lad gas been so impressive this season

[erimus74]

Balasar had his best game in a Boro shirt for me

[Gingerpig]

best performance this season should of been 4

Barlaser ,fry RVB, Engel all class

Still cant believe VDB choose to come here with all the teams interested in him & you can see why, hes a class player, 19 years of age, out of position & living in a different country this lad will go far, probably a big money sale

Not sure how long his contract is but Boro should extend it

[Blott]

I told you so.

[erimus74]

I told you so.

You certainly did 👌

Can't fault them. Best defensive display of the season by a mile. It helps, of course, if your centre-backs play as centre-backs not sitting in midfield supporting ineffective loan strikers. So I'll happily see us set up with an effective 4-2-4-0 formation until we get hold of another Chuba Akpom.

Easy win really West Brom offered nothing much.  Their bloke should have saw red though early in the first half. 

Nice trip back to the Riverside in years for me. 

[erimus74]

Still bouncing with that performance, Michael Can should feel rightly proud of his team

West Brom boss Carlos Corberan:
"The result was fair, they were creating more things than we were creating, and they competed the game better than we could compete.

Good of him but TBH, he couldn't have said much else, we just blew them away

[tunstall]

Missed the goal as I was having a piss

Was a good performance from us and we could have had another four there

These lads are starting to click and we look good

Was great to see Riley back in action

Merry Christmas everyone

Big shout out to Tom Glover, on his first league debut, who although, didn't have much to do after his initial 10/15 minutes when they tried to bully the Boro's defence, but the save he made from one their corners was top drawer & after that they didn't threaten us at all

I can sum that up, we were OK, but ........

Who are the in effective loan strikers? Which centre back plays in midfield?

But to be fair to you at least you accept a good result I can think of one or two who won't be back on here untill after our next defeat.

Engel for me over Giles, Giles as good as he was last season with regards to his crossing been top notch, his defensive duties were so poor
