@craigjohnsgazboro.bsky.social#Boro widely considered to be not yet at their best (they still have to prove that).
Yet, QPR win sent them 2nd in the league, with five wins and just one loss so far this season. Not bad at all...
It felt significant for a number of reasons
@craigjohnsgazboro.bsky.socialKim Hellberg confirms that Luke Ayling is #Boro's captain and then explains how there's a group of four players, including Callum Brittain who wore the armband at QPR, who form a leadership group behind him
@asw500.bsky.socialHappy Birthday to Massimo Maccarone - hope he has a good one!

@domshawecho.bsky.social🤒 Will Lankshear climbed out of his sick bed to fire #Boro to win at QPR!
Hellberg revealed striker wasn't well overnight but insisted he was ready to play this morn. Hellberg always knew he'd have to take him off early - but job was done by that point!

@philmctimoney.bsky.socialI just realized that if Swansea lose 3-0 tonight then #boro go top! 😀
@joe-nic.bsky.social👊 Kim Hellberg's post-match fist pumps
@joe-nic.bsky.socialHellberg on Neto Borges:
🗣️ "Neto does some unbelievable things. I think he was absolutely brilliant."
@joe-nic.bsky.socialHellberg on QPR win:
🗣️ "I think over 90 minutes we showed absolutely everything what football is about, we were good in all aspects of the game. You come to a team which has maybe started the best of all the teams. If you look statistically, they have been very strong."
