    Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards roars with delight after the side's victory over MillwallRex Features

    Rob Edwards sent a timely reminder to Middlesbrough supporters and the Championship that he still has the magic touch in this league.

    Boro bounced back from a shock Carabao Cup loss to Doncaster Rovers in the week to secure back-to-back league wins away at a fiery Den.

    The 3-0 win in the capital means Boro won their first away game of a season since 2016 and start a new campaign with two league victories for the first time since 1994-95.

    Millwall were excellent in the first half with Boro struggling to keep up. Then Edwards, at half-time, made some tweaks to his system.

    Boro came out more aggressive, energetic and clinical. A different side in the second half, which led to three unanswered goals.

    Impressive from Edwards against a strong opponent with both teams having ambitions of the top six come May.

    Boro fans will be hoping this is the start of something special under Edwards after his promotion success with Luton back in 2023. It will be hard for some not to get carried away already...

  8. Edwards praises 'brave' Boro after Millwall win

    Edwards: Boro 'stood up' to Millwall

    Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards was delighted after a 'brave' performance saw his side run out 3-0 winners at Millwall in London.

    Edwards told BBC Radio Tees: "This is a difficult place to come but we stood up to it. We were brave and played our own way so I am really pleased. Even when we didn't have the ball we were trying to do the right thing and grow into the game.

    "In the first half when we were winning the duels we were in threatening positions so I though bringing [Sontje] Hansen on at half-time would allow us to unlock that. He and Hayden [Hackney] were brilliant today.

    "It has been a great start. Two clean sheets, and we have looked very solid across these two games. We want consistency, and we will keep trying to do the right things. I like where we are at but his this is a long, hard season.

    "That was a good day for us, and a really good response from midweek. After you see a performance like that and last Saturday, it makes you annoyed by the [Doncaster] result on Wednesday because you have to show the same mentality every game, every week, and every day."

  15. Boro need a response to cup flop – Edwards

    Rob Edwards wants to see a response to Boro's 4-0 EFL Cup defeat by Doncaster

    Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards has called for "a response" to his side's humbling Carabao Cup exit to Doncaster Rovers when they resume their Championship campaign at Millwall on Saturday.

    The Boro boss branded the 4-0 loss on Tuesday "unacceptable" on the night as they were thrashed by a side playing League Two football last season.

    But with a few days to reset on the training ground, Edwards believes his side are ready to build on their 1-0 opening-day league win over Swansea.

    "We move forward and we build on the good work from last week," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees. "That is how we've got to see it. It is done and we want a response.

    "Maybe we can reference it [as we progress through the season] but we know there were certain elements which weren't good enough.

    "I want to focus on going forward and go into a really difficult game in a positive frame of mind."

    Edwards' side travel to south London to take on Alex Neil's Millwall, who have won both their games so far, 2-1 at Norwich in their league opener before edging past Newport County 1-0 in the cup.

    "It is going to be a tough game as they have great physicality but they have players who can play, they know where they want to play the game and they play it very well," he added.
