The bottler opener decided to give its post-game #Boro review in a Greek Mythological style today, because it's all trendy an' that, innit. Nevertheless, a happy, if cyclopsian, kitchen utensil.

#UTB

Yeah, OK. It's all good.

😁

#Boro

Some losses feel like a victory, this victory feels like a loss. On paper a scrappy win away to a good side, but added to the Burnley game, worrying signs need to be addressed.

I get it. Last season all out attack meant we too often didn't defend leads. But this seems an overreaction.

Dig deep. First away league win since March. Going at 2 points per game when we haven't really played well yet is promising. I'd rest a few on Tuesday, give ACD, Barron and Pukstas their full debuts potentially #Boro

Prior to today, #Boro had scored first in their last six Championship away games and failed to win any of them. Seeing that out - against a good QPR side - feels significant. Excellent result.

#Boro are still a work in progress. Well placed. Showing different sides of their game. Ticking boxes. Early days but positive signs. #UTB

Another unconvincing second half defending a 1-0 lead for #Boro, but they tough this one out. Feels like an important win

Those kind of wins are just as good as any. Rode our luck but we have a resilience that we didn't have last season.
Need to kill games off though when on top.

Up the #boro

FT: 1-0. #Boro dig deep to clock up their first away win on the season. Gritty stuff. Polished 1st 45, scored and should have wrapped it up. Made hard work of the 2nd half, some big saves & QPR rattled the woodwork. Sweaty & bruised bodies on the line. Great win. #UTB

Proper grit. Brilliant effort to grind out a result despite a shocking referee.
Tremendous effort. Ran their socks off. #utb #boro

Aaaaand breathe #boro. Great result and a statement of intent

FT: QPR 0 Middlesbrough 1
#Boro escape with all three points - just. Another important interception from Borges at the end. Much needed after dropping points from winning positions at Blackburn and Burnley.

FT: QPR 0-1 #Boro

Hard fought but Boro are over the line. Big win.
