  15. Hellberg happy as Boro stay in fight for top two

    Hellberg: Boro have kept automatic hopes 'alive'

    Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg is happy his side remain in the hunt for automatic promotion after a more positive few days for the club.

    They scored five goals in a league game for the first time since November 2024 as they thrashed Watford.

    With Ipswich Town failing to win at West Bromwich Albion, Boro could still finish second although that is dependant on the Tractor Boys failing to win at Southampton on Tuesday night.

    But after failing to win for seven matches, successive home wins over Sheffield Wednesday and now the Hornets have returned confidence to Boro's ranks.

    They also banished issues at the Riverside, where they had not won a game since 31 January.

    Now they will have to wait and see if anything is riding on their trip to Wrexham next Saturday or whether their sole focus will be on the play-offs.

    "I talked about if we won the two home games, it has a big opportunity to take it to the last day, which we've done," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees.

    "It was also one thing to secure the play-offs, that we have done. Winning at home, that we have done. Scoring six goals, only conceding one - so that was a lot of important things going into this week.

    "And we've also shown quality in the second half, in how good we can be, and in the game at Ipswich. So, it's a lot of things that have been very good with this week.

    "There is a lot of energy going into the last days of the season, and I'm really, really looking forward to it."

  22. Hellberg hopes Boro's top-two chance goes to wire

    Hellberg: Boro "still in the race" for top two

    Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg said he was determined to take his side's automatic promotion hopes to the final day of the Championship season.

    Boro go into the penultimate game, at home to Watford on Saturday (12:30 BST), in fifth place and trailing second-placed Ipswich Town by three points.

    The Teessiders are also three behind Millwall, who are third, but level with fourth-placed Southampton on 76 points.

    However, with the Saints hosting Ipswich on Tuesday, and at least one of those sides certain to pick up points, Boro must win at the Riverside to stand a realistic chance of going to Wrexham and being involved in a final-day shootout to go up behind champions Coventry City.

    "We need to try to win our game and hope that can take it to the last day of the season," Hellberg said.

    "If you're in it the last day of the season, all things can happen. In the last 90 minutes, a lot of things play a part in who succeeds or not. We're still in it to try to get there."

    Victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday ended a barren run of seven games without a win for Boro, who had slipped from second to fifth.

    But they will again be without Hayden Hackney, who has not played since 14 March because of a calf injury, for the visit of the Hornets.

    However, Matt Targett, who went off a few minutes early against Wednesday sparking worries of an injury, is fit for the lunchtime kick-off.
