Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards wants his club's supporters to 'dream' as they sit top of the Championship heading into the international break.

Tommy Conway's goal secured a fourth win out of four for Edwards as they beat Sheffield United in Boro's best start to a season for 1994.

That campaign under Bryan Robson ended in promotion and the ex-Luton boss is hoping for special things at the Riverside.

"I've looked at the group and I've seen a lot of this football club over the years and I know we've got some really good players," he told BBC Radio Tees.

"I know we've introduced a lot of new players as well but we can get this place going, I really believe that.

"Please enjoy it and dream. It's our job to try and give that hope.

"It's also our job to then keep working really hard and get people focused and not carried away with anything either.

"It's a good start but there's 42 games to go. Let's ride the momentum, ride the wave and keep backing each other all the time."
