2-5 - Tommy Conway gets in the act in the 80th minute, assisted by McGree. 🙂
It's raining goals: 2-6 - Azaz in the 83rd minute.
So when was the last time Boro scored 6 goals away from home? It is a double OFB Boro3
Pinch me I'm dreaming
Well only a few weeks ago many of us were bemoaning Boro's lack of finishing as they were averaging a goal a game - well after scoring 15 goals in their last three games that has well and truly blown that criticism out of the water!
What can you say but well done Boro and looking forward to 7 on Tuesday 😉
btw Boro nearly broke my home page template with that 6-2 win as it only has space for 8 goals 🤣

hi, exmill.
no, you didn’t miss my one and only optimistic comment !! Not my style.
By nature I’m a pessimist. It has a great advantage as my life has been full of unexpected surprises as things invariably turn out better.
More importantly, who is this team ? ,scoring 6 goals away AND. following scores of 5 and 4.
I am almost tempted to suggest the team might achieve a top 6 position at the end of the season. Or, am I getting carried away !!
I look forward to reading our friends comments on today’s performance and the optimists now confident Boro will get automatic promotion!!
For me , the evening will be good as I enjoy a few glasses of wine.
So tonight it’s 👍😂😁👍
best wishes.
Philip of Huddersfield

Jarkko: thanks, but I was referring to the fact that each club's page used to show its players' individual goal tallies in each of the three competitions & the number of times they had assisted their teammates' goals (+, if I remember correctly, time spent on the pitch per goal), not the overall totals in the league as a whole.
Wow.
@stircrazy Yes, you are correct. I had forgotten those stats by the BBC. Up the Boro!
Yes, Millwall equalize in the last minutes!
Full Time at 90 minutes plus 6, Millwall 1, Sunderland 1.
Goal! at 90 minutes plus 3
Femi Azeez (Millwall) right footed shot from the right side of the six yard box to the bottom right corner
I think Boro will finish above Sunderland by the end of the season. Up the Boro!.
Well we had a power cut all afternoon so I had a snooze and had a dream that Boro wereplaying and scored six. Away. Daft bugger. Anyway I'm enjoying the dream. Don't wake me up.
UTB, John

Think I'm having same dream
WOW!
What more can I say
Echo player ratings:
& the Gazette's:
Don't understand this linguistic abomination in the comments on JH:
"....never to the behest of costing even a chance." *shakes head* CJ's a right plonker!
Just seen that the game has been chosen for overseas broadcasting so Boro Live will not be available to stream, Radio Tees only unless you are in certain jurisdictions without a contract. The referee this afternoon is Josh Smith who last refereed us early las season , 1-1 v Huddersfield at home.
Not sure why Boro were chosen for live coverage today - though might be something to do with 28 goals now featuring in our last 5 games 😉
Hopefully you got to see the game somehow!
Apparently, according to the Grauniad, "It is the first time since 1947 that Middlesbrough have scored four goals or more in three consecutive league games."
@powmillnaemore And to add some more, that I haven’t seen before.
In-form Middlesbrough scored six goals in an away league match for the first time in 64 years as they thumped struggling Oxford United.
I was born only 63 years ago, so this was new and magnificent.
Up the Boro!
@jarkko I was only one and a bit years old myself when we beat Luton Town 6-1 at Kenilworth Road on 19th November 1960, so I don't remember that either !!
It was less than a month earlier we also scored 6 goals away from home, at The Valley in the infamous 6-6 draw with Charlton Athletic.
Who would have thought a few weeks ago that we could field a team starting without Morris, Van Den Berg, Hackney. McGree and Conway and come up with a result like that.
Anyone stopped smiling yet?
What a great scoreline to wake up to. All of the goals scored were quality no scruffy finishes off a knee. Some will say it was only Oxford, but up until Saturday they had only conceded 5 at home all season and have played some of the top teams including Burnley (0-0) Norwich and West Brom. Finn Azaz now looks like the player we all thought we were getting after his performances at Plymouth. He got a 10 on who scored and is top of the assists in the League(7) and is in top ten goalscorers along with LL and Conway and second highest rated player on Who scored.
Forgot to add McGree is in top 5 for assists(5)
That 6-1 Luton game at Kenilworth Road in 1960 was indeed memorable. I was at Uni and travelled down with my best mate Dave Bingham, who many years later was to become a Boro director. We hired a car that turned out to be a wreck. Travelling down in a freak thunderstorm, the windscreen wipers gave up and Dave drove most of the way with his right hand stretched out of the window trying to clear the screen. Eventually the car completely gave up and we checked it into a garage, completing the journey by train. We were completely bedraggled with poor Dave now the owner of a jacket with one shrunken sleeve now six inches shorter than the other.@jarkko I was only one and a bit years old myself when we beat Luton Town 6-1 at Kenilworth Road on 19th November 1960, so I don't remember that either !!

We eventually got to the game which had that eye-catching 6-1 scoreline.
We then had to catch the train back to pick up the car, pay a substantial bill, only to then land ourselves in a dispute with the bloke from whom we had hired the car. He refused to pay.
Dave, a law student, took him to court and won the case though we had to wait the best part of a year to recoup the money.
Oh, and one more other point. We didn't win the game but lost it 6-1.
It's filed in my memory as just another typical day in the life of a Boro supporter.
Makes my appreciation of today's result all the keener
The 6-6 at Charlton was the last time we scored 6 goals away. The 4+ goals in three straight competitive games was in November 1947 5-0(a) Grimsby, 4-0 home Blackpool and 7-1 away Blackburn.
Hah! I stand well and truly corrected. Well I did say I was only one and a bit at the time, so didn't remember it. It only goes to show how you need to be careful when researching on Google. I listed the Boro’s fixtures/results from the 1960/61 season. The list showed the Luton fixture was an away game and the score was shown as 1-6.
A schoolboy error there, the list was showing the Boro score first for all fixtures. It must have been a miserable trip for you both, but you did get home safely and eventually not out of pocket.
So. It appears that game against Charlton where the defence seriously p****d off Brian Clough was the last time we scored 6 away.
Thank you for correcting me Len.
... and it is Blackburn up next for Boro on Wednesday. 4 then 5 then 6 then... it couldn't happen could it?The 6-6 at Charlton was the last time we scored 6 goals away. The 4+ goals in three straight competitive games was in November 1947 5-0(a) Grimsby, 4-0 home Blackpool and 7-1 away Blackburn.
Unfortunately Blackburn v Portsmouth today was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, so they will have more energy come Wednesday night, although the confidence our players will have will surely override that.
Come on BORO.
