How #NUFC and Matthias Jaissle needed that. Wasn't much to be encouraged by in the first half but there certainly was in the second. Aided by poor Palace but second half has to be the standard moving forward. Big win and seventh. www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266683...

A pretty dismal first half watch at Selhurst Park. #NUFC have only had four touches in the Palace box and haven't yet managed a shot on target. Don't look comfortable at the back either but Palace haven't yet managed to take advantage.

🤝Will Lankshear completely understood Kim Hellberg's decision to rest him vs Cardiff & will 'never sulk' if head coach opts to rotate. 🗣️'I trust the manager's decisions 100%. I know he is trying to protect me. I’ll always respect his decisions' More👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266676...

In a 13-minute post-match interview with Kim Hellberg at Bolton, Will Lankshear was hardly mentioned - for two reasons... ✍️ Boro analysis 👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266667...

Bolton have played West Ham, Wolves & Southampton but Steven Schumacher says nothing they've come up against this season compares to brilliance of Boro last night. Best he's ever played at this level? Only Maresca's Leicester came to his mind... More 👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266667...

🔝'The best I've seen in a long time' was the verdict on Boro from one Bolton press box regular. Top of the Championship and with performances like this they can stay there. A joy. ✍️Verdict 👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266666...

There are five teams in the division that haven't scored as many Championship goals as Will Lankshear this season

The tone was set from kick-off when Boro won a corner inside 30 seconds. The advantage should be four or five rather than two.

We all seemed to agree before the game that this was Boro's strongest XI and this has been Boro at their best. Two exceptional goals

As Kim Hellberg promised, no resting or rotating - #Boro are full strength. XI: Vitek, Brittain, Malanda, Phillips, Borges, Morris, Berhalter, ACD, McGree, Conway, Lankshear Subs: Brynn, Byram, Ayling, MPH, Sarmiento, Arfsten, Barron, Castledine, Joseph

As Kim Hellberg discovered last season, the Championship schedule has teeth. Managing workload is a necessity. But Hellberg got it wrong yesterday & it wasn't just about Will Lankshear. It felt, in short, like he overthought & overcomplicated. Analysis 👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266468...

✍️ #Boro 2-2 Cardiff talking points: ⚽️ Lankshear importance and impact 🔁 Selection and set-up backfires 🥅 The soft goals conceded 9⃣ unbeaten www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266461...

Managing workload is understandable but we saw again today - first in his absence and then his impact from the bench - just how important Will Lankshear is. And it's not just his goals. Wasn't just Lankshear though. Balanced of the side clearly wasn't right in first half.

Looks like Lankshear and Berhalter are coming on and that's no surprise. The selection and the set-up hasn't worked. Boro haven't looked comfortable and haven't played well. Really soft goals conceded again.

🚨 Will Lankshear on the bench for #Boro against Cardiff. XI: Vitek, Brittain, Ayling, Phillips, Borges, Malanda, Morris, ACD, McGree, Conway, Joseph. Subs: Brynn, Byram, Berhalter, Lankshear, MPH, Sarmiento, Arfsten, Barron, Castledine

⚽️ Kim Hellberg knew he could always count on Will Lankshear to score goals at #Boro - but what has surprised him is how quickly & impressively the striker adapted to style of play & approach considering Oxford's last season was 'total opposite'. More 👇 www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/266414...
