We were only out of the top 6 for two minutes.

And most of the season! Just imagine starting in August like the rest of em' What could be? Not having a pop, just facts.

MOTM Super Ben Wilson & Jack Rudoni
Hon Mention for BTA, who did what Wright should have done earlier and squared it .
Defence got a bit lucky - Boro created some good chances
A really good action packed game.

That one where everyone was having a go at though, with Wright, I was watching it on TV and BTA was clearly offside.

I was screaming at the screen for him to get back onside.

So I could understand why Wright didn't square it

Now we have made it, pressure is off for me. We've superseded my expectations completely.

Flight home has been delayed , will be there Friday night just as nervous as I was today.

Sunderland have now lost 5 games in a row.

Hope so

Rudoni's game has moved on to another level under Lampard . What a game he had. Ben Wilson excellent , BTA very lively when he came on.
Good performance , great day.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

At least we get an extra days rest before the playoffs.

£25m+ player

Even better Luton down after their celebrations last week

Their manager may get a chance to play against Wycombe.

I think BTA is a better player than Simms.

That's not hard a bag of cement shows more movement than Simms.

 

[covcity4life]

I always said about Wilson that he's the best number 2 possible.

The reason for that is he could be a decent number 1 at times.

Do we want him long term as a starter? No

But in an emergency situation like this it could be argued we are quite lucky to be able to put him in

 

[shmmeee]

Jack Rudoni is quite good at football isn’t he?

 

[steve cooper]

If Middlesboro had played like that all season they would have easily made the playoffs, it just makes our win all the more impressive

Simms did an ugly and unforgiving job today, but it gave BTA the scope to stretch them in the last 25

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A perfect day. Some inexplicable ways we managed not to score more, Ben Wilson fantastic between the sticks and dirty Luton relegated.

Celebrate today and get back to work tomorrow

Takes cov from relegation candidates to playoff clinchers
Gets clean sheet with 433
Makes big decisions on goalkeepers ever since he came in
Got rudoni on balon dor level
Super Frank Lampard!

I mean we've had worse managers..........

 

[fernandopartridge]

Well done lads, deserved it on balance. Though the middle third of the game we were being cut apart a bit.

 

[fatso]

I think BTA is a better player than Simms.

Not difficult tbf. Although BTA had more time and space as Middlesbrough were chasing the game and throwing bodies forward.
However, his fresh legs and workrate will be an advantage in the playoffs.

 

[skybluecb]

Rudoni is amazing, what a player. He just gets better and better. Great game today, bring on Sunderland. Can't believe we finished 5th, I really thought we would be 6th and have to play Sheff Utd.

 

[jordan210]

Love it when posts come back to haunt

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I think Kitching in the last two games has showed a lot of leadership , looks like he's maturing into the player a lot of us believe he can become .

 

[Matt smith]

GET IN THERE

GET IN THERE

Must be safe from relegation now old mate

Looks a lot more mature now.

 

[Matt smith]

Just about, good job we sacked robins isn’t it

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Looks a lot more mature now.

Definetly , he's always had all the ability and potential to be a top player . Looks like Lampard has got the best out of Kitching among a few others

 

[duffer]

Jack Rudoni is quite good at football isn’t he?

Definitely worth a 6, maybe even a 6.5.

All joking aside, Tats was immense today too. Not just a slick technician, so brave in the tackle too - some great defending.

And the crowd were immense too. Ten out of ten for the 12th Man. Fantastic day.

 

[Tommo1993]

Happy now but I was fucking fuming at Haji Wright. Bloody look up!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wilson save was absolutely stunning
Him and Rudoni were magnificent
