Delicious. Feared today without Saiz, ugly win but will take it.

Really hoping Saiz's injury isn't serious.
Obviously we'll always take a scrappy win all day long, but we missed him massively today.

There were a few swearies said when Sheff Utd equalised..
Don
Monk gone, strange timing.

Totally baffling, I wonder if he is gonna appear at Swansea?
Don
Doubt it, think he needs to rebuild his career now. Ironic he should leave Leeds for job security for at Boro!
Carvahal of Sheff Wednesday also gone. Neither boards enjoyed the Sheff Wed vs Boro game yesterday then

Game of Death!! I can't understand Monk going, out of the three relegated teams, boro were doing the best, and had a full rebuild over the summer, after a disastrous last season. I'll never understand why clubs take on project type managers, and then never see it out.
Don
Correct, although I can't speak I was losing confidence with TC for us but he has since turned it round somewhat!
At least Sheff Wed/Aston Villa/Bristol C etc gave their managers a chance to turn things round.
Soldato
Something has obviously gone on behind the scenes. Gibson is an excellent chairman & owner overall, very bizarre Monk has gone.
Don
Gibson has to be questioned with his decision making in the past few years, their signings under Karanka and Monk...someone signs them off, we brought in Victor Orta who was apparently responsible for the poor acquisitions there last season, yet at us he has founded some great, cheap Championship talent.
Pullis won't go down well with the fans at all, neither.
Gibson has brought in the likes of Strachan, Mowbray, Monk, etc

Strange timing after beating Sheff Weds and only just behind the POs...
Made me giggle though!

"Man Utd concede a 90+4th minute equaliser against Leicester and Garry Monk sacked within the last 20 minutes.
Merry Christmas"
Ho ho ho.

Missing Saiz's flair today, can't seem to break down Burton when they've got everyone behind the ball.
Soldato
**** sake.

Woop woop, Bristol up to 2nd. Still a long way to go, with a really difficult month upcoming, but a nice morale boost for the team.
Who would have thought it this time last season, I was hoping for a playoff place now I'm believing a automatic spot is doable

Can't believe we come back to win today, we're playing awful but still grinding out wins...
Don
I thought we were okay but lacked some cutting edge, Burton gave Hernandez waaaay to much room to dictate play, we just didn't have the intelligence for him to pass too.
Lasogga needs to learn to use his strength/body, he's woeful in the air/holding it up.
We still need some attacking signings for depth, the minute we went behind I thought that is it as we have no plan B but we persevered and scored two great goals.
Associate
When they scored I thought instantly "Oh well, that's that then...". Very pleased to see us finally show some fight after going behind, but after we scored the second I thought we were fortunate to hold onto it.
Agree with Lasogga, not quite strong enough, and for a big man he gets dispossessed far too easy.
On the signings front, it all depends on whether the owner can afford to go 'all-in' this season. In a perfect world we need a winger, striker and left back.
Rumour has it Clayton is on his way back - not sure what type of reaction he'll get from the fans!? He normally gets a ton of stick.
