United stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 games with a 4-1 success at the Boro, our 6th league visit to the Riverside without defeat.
Impressive stats, but for TV viewers, it's as well to point out that for
the first 30 minutes we were second best and deservedly behind.
While Robert and Shearer took the plaudits, the damage lumbering Windass
and Deane caused to our defence must give Bobby Robson nightmares.
News that Distin has flown in to sign confirms Robson still believes he has
yet to replace Alain Goma, and could be losing patience with Aaron Hughes.
O'Brien and the Caldwells remain in reserve and Ramage is pushing up from
the Academy, but more defensive quality remains a priority for Bobby.
Almost inevitably, one defender continues to be unavailable, Marcelino
having now apparently damaged his groin again - doing what exactly?
