'Masterclass!': Middlesbrough fans hail the impact of ex-Leeds United and Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock after Stoke win

Middlesbrough fans have hailed a Neil Warnock 'masterclass' after winning at Stoke City

Ashley Fletcher’s header and Marcus Tavernier’s long-range effort wrapped-up the points for Boro, who were forced to deal with plenty of pressure from the hosts.

And fans were left delighted with Warnock’s debut display – here’s what they were saying on social media:

@fr33d3m25 said: “Neil Warnock masterclass”

@MichaelGM_1788 added: “Huge! Even better with Hull drawing.”

@We_Are_Boro tweeted: “Well played. Had their moments in the second half but deserved win. Really need to get the win on Thursday now.”

@HapkidoTeesside commented: “We needed that”

@Lew_MFC posted: “That was graft for once”

@Adrian___Harvey added: “Great result, all that matters now”

@jester_pearson said: “Not the best attacking display. However in a week we look organised and up for the fight. Do not under estimate those 3 points. Let's see how we do on Thursday. UTB”

@kingboroxi posted: “The players dying for the cause going in for them rough tackles absolute marvellous UTB”

@nathan071002 tweeted: “imagine if he made the change in december”

@boromad17 commented: “It’s amazing what you can do when you put a real manager in charge. A much needed 3 points.”

@smoggie1976 said: “7 players inside the opposition box from set plays. Players busting a gut to close opposition down. What a difference a week makes”

@willsandbells added: “Gotta love #Warnock. Straight in gets a win. Watch #boro kick on now.! The man gets the job done. #genius”
