  11. Middlesbrough getting better and better - Hellberg

    Hellberg: Boro 'impressive' against Stoke

    Middlesbrough are getting better and better, according to head coach Kim Hellberg.

    The Teessiders stretched their unbeaten run to eight games in the Championship with a 3-2 win at Stoke on Tuesday night to remain second in the table.

    "It felt like it could have been a smoother ride but again it's the mentality when it goes to 2-2 then going on to win it," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees.

    "You could see in the game when they scored we go and push again and it was clear we were chasing to win the game. Without a doubt it was a fair result - we are starting to get better and better."

    Middlesbrough beat Wolves 1-0 on Saturday and Hellberg saluted his side's resilience for following-up that victory with Tuesday's win.

    "The performance as a whole was a top one, to go away against a team with five wins and a draw in their past six games is very impressive," he added.

    "You play a game on Saturday against Wolves which means so much to everyone, playing against a team that has come down from the Premier League.

    "Then you go to Stoke against a team who haven't lost in six and put up that sort of performance, that is brilliant from the boys."

    Two of the Championship's in-form sides will meet when Stoke City welcome Middlesbrough to the bet365 Stadium on Tuesday night.

    After losing their opening three matches of the season, the Potters are unbeaten since then with five wins from six (D1), including three victories in a row.

    During that impressive run, Stoke have climbed from bottom to fourth in the table.

    Meanwhile, second-placed Boro are unbeaten in their past seven games (W4 D3) and have lost just once so far this season.

    • Stoke have lost three of their past four league games against Middlesbrough (D1), more than in their previous eight beforehand (W3 D3 L2).

    • Middlesbrough have won both of their previous two away league games against Stoke, and are looking to win three in a row for the very first time.

    • Stoke are looking to win four consecutive home league games for the first time since April 2014 in the Premier League.

    • Middlesbrough have only lost one of their past 10 away games in the Championship (W3 D6), a 1-2 defeat at Blackburn in August.

    • Mark Robins has only won more Championship games as a manager against Millwall (9) than Middlesbrough (8), although he has lost two of his three against them with Stoke (D1).

    Middlesbrough narrowly missed out on promotion to Hull City in last season's Championship play-off final and the early signs for them this term is that they want to avoid the lottery of the play-offs.

    Kim Hellberg's side are second after nine games having lost just once.

    The latest win was against promotion rivals Wolves in a game which marked the 150th anniversary of the club - the winner scored by the hottest striker in the second tier, Will Lankshear.

    He has scored seven times in the league and looks a player of real quality.

    What made Tottenham sell him in the first place is a discussion for another day but what I can tell you is that he has a little bit of everything in terms of a forward.

    His latest goal with his head showed a level of technical ability far beyond his 21 years and indeed his own manager commented that he is "growing as a player and his finishing is on a different level".

    After Lankshear's goal, Boro showed a grit and determination to keep a very good Wolves side at bay and see out the victory.

    Indeed late on, Boro could have added to the tally with Kyle Joseph coming off the bench and producing an effort which came off the crossbar.

    It may be early days but the signs for Middlesbrough look good.

    And if Lankshear can stay fit and firing then the Premier League could be their final destination come May. It really could.
