This Championship immersion continues to improve…another away triumph, this time at Hillsborough – Boro escaped an early deficit to cruise 3-1…a Darren Purse own goal and  strikes from Adam Johnson and Jeremie Aliadiere, encore, did the deed. Gaz sails to second in the table, setting up a potential 1-2 clash at The Riverside Saturday w/ West Brom – come on Blackpool!

He’s continuing to re-engage most of the fan base on the results front…maybe the official loan acquisition of Sean St Ledger will foster more goodwill in the man management aspect of the football business? The capture of the Republic of Ireland international proves a great piece of commerce – an initially no-risk replacement for Robert Huth who can effectively audition for the rumoured £3.5m permanent move come January. Pick the right specimen from the loan striker bin and we could have something – a gaffer astute and discerning off and on the pitch.

Given all the real-world issues occurring in the region, why not a messiah of sorts for those exposed, and why not Gareth Southgate? Football can be the rally point – a scintillating product tearing up the parks on their way back to Premier League half-glory – connecting the Teesside perimeter back into the relevancy grid. The man was nearly canonised for his role in previous successes, so deifying wouldn’t be a gross overextension…
