Boro Mania

We had a prolonged vote this week due to the International break but the result is in and Tuncay Sanli was voted the Boro Mania Man of the Match for the 3rd game this season.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future and a possibe move to Wigan, Egyptian striker Mido was voted Boro Mania man of the match for his performance against Yeovil Town in the Carling Cup.

For the second successive game Boro Mania readers have voted Tuncay Sanli as their man of the match. In what turned out to be a disappointing result for Boro fans in a largely encouraging display Tuncay shone out for his workrate and ability.

Tuncay Sanli was named Boro Mania man of the match against Spurs following our online poll. His quality forward play and work ethic won him the votes of the majority of Boro fans.

So, Boro got off to a winning home start in the Premier League for the first time in the Riverside era, they played good, slick, counter-attacking football and could quite easily have scored more goals against Spurs. Looking ahead, has Gareth Southgate got a few big decisions to make on who starts?

We launched our first ever poll last week to see who you thought should start between the sticks against Tottenham. Ross Turnbull was a resounding winner.

The Middlesbrough first team squad has seen a few changes over the summer, a few players leaving and a couple of new arrivals to boost the squad.
