    A black banner with the words 'Your Opinions' written across in white lettering next to an image of a megaphone

    We asked for your thoughts after Middlesbrough beat Wolves 1-0 on Saturday to climb into the Championship's automatic promotion spots.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Middlesbrough fans

    KiddyChris: Hanging on at the end, but you'd possibly expect that against a good team. Fair play to Wolves, really pushed us back. But I think the best team won. Just. Feels like a big win, and finally a home clean sheet. Both teams will be up there in May. Fingers crossed this time…

    David: Great result against a big rival. Lankshear has to be the buy of the season.

    Paul: Haven't reached the heights of last season in terms of performance but now getting three points when we would get beat last year.

    Noa: I thought Boro played a controlled game and won in a composed convincing way.

    Andrew: Excellent and well done to all on this auspicious 150th anniversary. You had me worried for a while there at the end.

    AyresomeAngel: Great header by our new centre-forward, nicely set up by T.C. Very useful 3 points against a good side, who, like us, are better off for the loss of a certain manager!

    Wolves fans

    Alan: Probably the worst performance of the season. Both full-backs run ragged.

    Djiga lucky not to see red early in the first half. Good job he wasn't as he played really well.

    No threat up front except when Munetsi was involved. Armstrong did well to rob the keeper but looked amateurish when he gifted the ball back to him. Total lack of ability to make an accurate pass into the penalty area. Improved with the subs but difficult to say why.

    James still has to show what he can do. Fer Lopez worked hard, but never got up to speed. Need a major attitude adjustment if we are to stay in the chase!

    Chris C: Two decent sides Wolves looked like the break came at the wrong time. But nothing between the two sides and still very optimistic about the season.

    Mike: No complaints about the result I thought Boro were the better side overall and Peixoto is kidding himself if he really thinks a draw would have been a fairer result. Wolves never really got going until they went behind and wasted the half chances they created when chasing the equaliser.

    Wol: We have played two of the favourites for promotion and lost to them both. We lack a target man up front playing with two wide men and Armstrong up top. We won't win games. None of our balls in the box found a Wolves player. Defensive errors cause us problems as always.

    John: Wolves management still have not realised that without a goalscorer who can score 14 or 15 goals in the season at this level, they can never achieve automatic promotion. At present top six at best is their level. And this comment from a supporter of the club for 70 years.

  12. Boro anniversary win 'doesn't get any better'

    Hellberg: 'Happy' with 'top' Boro performance

    Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg was "very happy" with his side's 1-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday.

    The side were celebrating their 150th anniversary and ended it with a win thanks to Will Lankshear's header.

    "I don't think it gets much better than this," Hellberg told BBC Radio WM. "A good performance against a good side.

    "There was a lot of things that were very good. I think up to the goal, we were absolutely brilliant in terms of the home game, pressing up high. We almost limited them to no chances in the first half.

    "After the goal, we showed what we are trying to be - a solid team against a good side because the games will always change when we go ahead.

    "I cannot reckon they had any chances to make it 1-1. We defended very good, we defended crosses, we had some transitions where we could have killed the game off but overall I'm very happy."

    The goal marks Lankshear's ninth of the season and Hellberg thinks there is more to come.

    He said: "Will is growing as a player. His technical quality and finishing is on a different level and you can see that with the goal, that header is one of the best I've seen.

    "Will wants to improve in everything. At the start it was mainly around the box scoring the goals but now he gives us almost everything."

    His career has taken him around the EFL as well as spending almost three years in the Netherlands with Vitesse Arnhem.
