34 shots, some wild but Mannion stood firm when tested (of course). Perhaps it is our heritage but we do make an industry of getting it into the box #boro

Ouch #boro

Ayling MOTM for me. Commanding at the back, always combining well in the middle and unlucky to hit the bar with that inspired lob #Boro

Job fookin’ done. Happy for TC #boro

Clean sheet and zero further injuries please #boro

Sky can’t bitch about that one. Beautiful placement by Hackney for 3-0 #boro

An early 2nd goal is required to definitely kill them off. Just feel with this lumpy pitch and the compact space that a bit of penalty area ping pong could easily go against us. #boro

Arguing if Strelec handled it but not discussing the fact he was being dragged into the net - that would be 20 minutes of VAR review to look forward to #boro

Whittaker’s first touch has been appalling this game. The goal exemplified that. Still - keep going #boro

Feel quite confident today. What the hell is going on #boro

Fry to get a hat trick tonight #boro

Tough game. Leicester grew in confidence after the goal and realised that we were toothless tonight. Stodgy performance from the #boro when we could have done with a recovery. Some damp beds tonight no doubt but we are still in a great position.

Great goal, but too much of that old shielding and going backwards from advanced positions rather than driving on. Ayling and Whittaker have been poor tonight. Prove me wrong lads #boro

A draw wouldn’t be the worst result given other scores (atm) but just don’t eff it up #boro

Come on #boro stop messing about. Time to turn the screw

Oxford definitely putting up a fight. That woodwork is taking a battering. Think we need McGree in the 2nd half #boro

Now #boro

Hopefully we can lift ourselves from the Cov defeat and put Oxford to the sword. Hopefully. Need to keep the chasing pack away #boro

It’s just our hoodoo team. Every side has one #boro

If we win tonight I’d feel that we have pretty much sewn up the No.1 position until the end. But Cov seem to have some hoodoo over us so I’m hoping we can get at them, score early and come away with a draw (…at least) #boro

That first half was something else. Some of the best one touch football you’ll see. Inevitably Sheffield came back strongly and our energy levels dropped but the commitment was 100%. Fantastic performance #boro

65% possession, 263 passes and 8 shots on target are amazing stats against an in form Blades side. More in the 2nd half if we can keep this up #boro

Need to deep breathe - heart rate 125 #boro

Outstanding ! #boro

Excited at the prospect of promotion but at the same time looking at Burnley etc and thinking that being in the PL reminds me of booking a fantastic holiday then feeling dog rough every single day of it #boro

Yes Derby #boro

Preston and QPR to complete a great day for #boro. Come on !

That is a result. Get in #boro

Fantastic for improving the goal difference. It’s worth an extra point in a close run race #boro

A wet Wednesday evening away at Stoke? No bother #boro

If Bergzorg does leave us, that winning goal puts him in my #boro heroes B list. Great win - hopefully season defining

Bloody Hellberg #boro

Good feeling Friday #boro

#utb Hackney after some great passing

Come on TC - today’s the day #boro

Should be 2-0 up. Our poor finishing continues. Derby starting to wake up and maybe nick something. Come on lads - keep at it and it will happen #boro

Aww Grandad, have you had a lovely night #hootenanny

Don’t think much of 2026 - seems exactly like the last one

Christmas pudding match #boro

Didn’t see the game but 72% possession, 26 shots and only 3 on target suggests something was badly off today #boro

Right. Christmas is ruined #boro

This half time is the big Hellberg test #boro

Still gutted lol

Rock on Tommy #boro

Great finish Whittaker - brimming with confidence. What a fantastic break from defence to attack - something we needed to add to our game #boro

Fingers crossed we can keep up the winning ways at the Valley tonight. We’ve got a good record against Charlton according to the history books but the last time I went we got beat 2-0. Come on the #boro and batter those ‘addocks

It will only be a matter of time before the Wolves fans turn their fury on Edwards. What did he expect? If he runs off laughing after banking a few quid I will have even less respect for him (if that is even possible) #utb

Wonderful stuff #boro

Great strike Whittaker #boro 3-0
