Bora had a weakened side out tonight so don't take it for granted we are going to get results like that most of the games. Swansea another different challenge next.
What a plonker Gwru, as DelBoy might say. They had two missing. We had more unavailable than they did. When we lose a game you judge us on it. When we win you want to judge us on the next one. If you're on a wind up, it's a classic. If you're not, you're embarrassing yourself and you need to give your head a wobble.

We were excellent tonight, everyone played their part and 3-0 was the least we deserved. I just hope Smith hasn't just earned himself a move to Middlesbrough on that performance!
One of the players missing for Middlesbrough tonight was Dael Fry who somebody on here, I can't remember who, once said 'will never be a footballer'. Yet supposedly their team was weakened by his absence.
To be fair to gwru - he isn't accustomed to away games so he is probably feeling slightly discombobulated at the moment. His lack of acknowledgement of RUFC's excellent performance as opposed to his acknowledgement of Boro's weakened side, is a disgrace and the mark of a man (?) who is struggling to come to terms with his own football incompetence. Shame on him and shame for him. His alter ego TH is obviously suffering from keyboard constipation through the lack of anything to criticise.
Smiler - doing good thanks. In the process of moving house - should cut a couple of minutes of the journey to NYS! Hope everyone in the Smiler household is doing well. Is H receiving therapy following Vassell's departure?!
Bora (lol) are seventh. We beat them 3-0 at their ground in good style. If you can't enjoy that, get a bit excited about it and give credit where it's due you've got psychological problems.
Crooks keep making me eat my words - that was a class finish - all the right things - same as Giles at the end no extra touch just out your feet for best angle and strike.
Best moment of tonight?
You know you won't go down with a whimper when Angus and Woody did that near the end.
Oly is still class.
Fair play to you Andy Warrington - whatever you're doing?
We looked like (and have since Barnsely which wasn't fair) a team where everyone knows there own and others players jobs and we're singing from the same hymn sheet. We're using what we're good at, it's not everyone cups of tea, but if works for us who cares?
Boro were just 16 disjointed players running around.
Keep this form up lets get some points on the board and get the bottom 3 monkey off our back so those players can't start playing with a bit of freedom to express themselves without reprisal.
Well done all - including Warney who dare it say now has a plan B? (even though it is 5-3-1-1 !)
There's your world renouned BBC Sports department for you, conclusive proof that football below the PL doesn't exist. Ladapo never set foot on the pitch
Agree with that Exeter, in particular, the formation suits our players, and sticking to it, even when we will lose a few, seems the key to getting us forward and scoring goals, which was the problem in 1st half of season.
23 points from 23 games relegation form got to be an improvement in the 2nd half of the season those are not my words only repeating them. Great performance last night not getting giddy over it onwards and upwards.
Fabulous performance I'm happy to see crookes prove me wrong his performances of late have been brilliant really stepped up his game.
Smith confidence is sky high is this the same player bury fans said they get him a taxi.
Olosunde all the team played well. Inwas going to listen on radio but glad I.paid my tenner
Keep playing like that we should be climbing table
Lots of talk last night about records - last away victory against Boro 1965, Crooks first RUFC player to score at Middlesbrough since Emlyn 'Crazyhorse' Hughes. But does anyone know when we last recorded two consecutive away wins in the Championship? I don't!
