Middlesbrough's Chris Wilder & Isaiah Jones win Sky Bet Championship December awards:love:(y)

Friday 7 January 2022 08:38, UK


Middlesbrough manager Chris Wilder has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for December.(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)UTMB

The subtle changes he has made at the Riverside since arriving in November are paying off royally with 13 points from five unbeaten games and just a single goal conceded. Energy levels, confidence and optimism are all on the up.

Wilder said: "It's been a real team effort. It's a been a great start and a terrific month for us. This is a nice reward for both the club and the fans, who have been fantastic. But we have to stay humble and keep working hard."

Sky Sports' EFL pundit Don Goodman said: "When you look at the start that Chris Wilder has made at Middlesbrough, it's a mystery how he was allowed to stay out of the game so long after his departure from Sheffield United last March.

"Their record in December, built on defensive solidity, was exemplary as they dominated a number of difficult fixtures to rise to just outside the Play-Off places."

Middlesbrough wing-back Isaiah Jones has been named the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for December.:love:(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

The dynamic 22-year-old contributed four clean sheets, the only goal against Swansea, both assists in the win at Blackpool and a run for the decisive penalty against Bournemouth - not bad for a wing-back in his debut EFL season.

Sky Sports' EFL pundit Don Goodman said: "The young winger has proved a crucial member of Boro's squad in their recent ascent towards the Play-Off positions, particularly impressing in the games against promotion-chasing Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

"The 22-year-old Londoner was performing well under Neil Warnock and you could argue he has taken his form to another level under Chris Wilder."


UTMB!
 
Thanks for nothing roofie. What am I supposed to read tomorrow pre game?

I thought we were flyme buddies. Seems I was wrong. I am not mad at you just disappointed.

I suppose I can dip into cake threads, corruption threads and my personal favourite wilder v warnock thread, whilst waiting for kick off tomorrow.

Thanks.

On a personal note delighted Roofie you have put it up early. I’m on the road early in the morning for the ridiculous o’clock time of kick off and so wouldn’t have time to read it otherwise. Well done on another thorough effort.

Still want to know the answer to the railway station question.

12:15 is early for any travelling fans either from London or Middlesbrough. it's virtually equidistant.
 
Traveling by Train?

Trains are operated by East Midlands Railway. https://www.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/

Be aware that few of the stations on the route have any parking spaces.
Trains are usually three-coach Voyagers and on Saturdays are usually packed with shoppers and kids.

Those from Nottingham run hourly [See below].
It may be advisable to check for any disruption or delays using the site above beforehand.

Mansfield Railway Station is connected by a walkway to the covered bus station and the distance to Field Mill usually takes a little over ten minutes.

Buses and coaches also connect Mansfield to Nottingham and Chesterfield.

Reference previous issues highlighted regarding the antics of some of our away support.

I'd have thought most grounds have police with sniffer dogs? If they do seemingly they are not always effective. Pyro dogs is a new one on me though.

 
I think the map above is wrong we have to enter from St. Peter's Way to reach the North Stand.
Please note that, for purposes of safety and ease of congestion, the gate between the North and Ian Greaves Stand will be closed from 10.30am onwards this Saturday when we take on Middlesbrough in the Emirates FA Cup third round (12.15pm kick-off).

Where you see the blue dotted line join the solid line - opposite Burger King - that is St Peters Way. It leads to the Eastern side of the Town. The A60 is a wide road with designated crossings and its used like a motorway, but it cant be avoided.
 
Going to warm up for the cup watching the mighty swindon give Manchester third team a footballing lesson this evening.
 
These unfamiliar names in City's squad for tonight. Slicker, Egan-Riley, Mbete, Lavia, McAtee, Palmer and Kayky
I have had a little teeny bet on it because the prices are ridiculous. Its going to be men against boys, albeit some skillful boys
 
Well no way its a third eleven. Madness to bet against this 11

XI | Steffen, Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), De Bruyne, Palmer, Bernardo, Jesus
