* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Swansea City Match-Day Thread *

Big win....

It's not an easy place to go. I mean any away win should be commended.

Leeds and hull have beat us. I didn't think either of them deserved too. The league is so open. Don't think anyone is amazing.

Fairplay with the winner. You hardly ever see those go in. They usually just get blocked by the 11 on the line. Although clearly absolute luck. Hit and hope.

*edit *..... Just watched it. It wasn't a 'hit and hope'. Actually clever by Rogers and pretty much placed by Sammy

We looked totally different with mobility up top and not just Crooks plodding around making misplaced passes aplenty.

Jones lack of footballing brain is alarming.

Which game were you at?
You saw Crooks superb through ball for Greenwoods goal, that completely changed the game?

And 70 minutes of misplaced passes and slowing down our play is forgotten. When away from home we need mobility and he doesn't provide that

Today was all about those 3 pts esp after our recent blip.

Only got to watch parts of the game (out Christmas shopping...) but saw most of the first half.

Reminded me a bit like the Sheff Wed game where we looked so, so poor. But hopefully like that game we can use it as a starting place and go on a healthier run.

Hackney back for WBA would be a huge bonus and hopefully a semi-final to look forward to.

Who gives a monkeys if we stood on one leg like a group of Flamingo's for the entire game?
We won and we claim our three points.
Kerching!

Another set piece we have scored off. I take it all back!

All because I didn’t post during the match. I’ve learnt me lesson. No more posting from me.

The lot of ‘em were gash!

It was Crooks who lost the ball which led to the goal. So, so weak. There’s no way he should have been losing the ball in that position.

Good assist, again, but he needs to be much tidier for us in general. I just think he is in major need of a rest.

Making up for years of being flippin crap at set-pieces.
That Mackem free - kick against Leicester, best so far for me

So what?
We won our first game after three successive defeats and bagged the three points.
When away from home.....we aint interested in playing like Real Madrid or Pele`s Brazil - we want a result.
I doubt many on here would complain if we played like yesterday for the next ten and got 30 points

How many Boro fans at Swansea yesterday?
