What Middlesbrough fans are saying about Charlton display, Jonathan Woodgate and standout performers

The majority of supporters were understandably relieved after the Teessiders climbed out of the Championship relegation zone courtesy of Paddy McNair’s first-half finish.

But as many pointed out, the game could have been sealed sooner if the visitors had taken their chances.

Here are some of the responses from social media – including fans’ thoughts on the game, who stood out and Jonathan Woodgate’s selection calls.

@Smithy_MFC84: Get in Boro!! We needed that badly today. Doesn’t make us safe by any stretch, but it’s a start. Credit to players and manager.

@Gibson_Is_King: McNair was our best today. Everyone else put in a shift, but that is the minimum we expect.

@kabirdavee: We asked for fight, and for once we actually got it. Had we been more clinical the game would have been wrapped up with half an hour to spare. Nevertheless, play like that every week and we’ll be fine, though it might be harder against better teams

@InGibboWeTrust: Good job Charlton were poor! When will Woodgate start to learn about makings subs and tweaking things in a match. Can’t help but feel he just stands there and hopes we hold on!

@CraigB2018: Great result with a big call on changing goalies , the right decision to take Pears out of it for a while . I’ve give him the stick now I’ll give him the credit, well done Woodgate.

@Adrian___Harvey: Excellent result, still need work on finishing. Four on target from an impressive twenty three sums up all of our problems in the last couple of seasons.

@PaulWheats: Deserved win. Some great performances. Shotton was MOTM second half. Absolutely dominated Taylor. Clayton, Johnson, Wing even Gestede put in good shifts.

@Joeatkinson98Me: GET IN BORO. Massive win. Gestede man of the match for me

@sis_insights: Today was a Typical #Boro victory. Never, ever doing it the easy way even when it looks like we will at one point. What can I say except that it is what it is.
