What Middlesbrough fans are saying about Neil Warnock's press conference, Patrick Roberts and Barnsley win

The win marked Boro’s first league win of the season, while there was more good news after the match when it was revealed the Teessiders are close to re-signing Patrick Roberts.

Fans also enjoyed watching Warnock’s post-match press conference due to his honest and light-hearted tone.

Here’s how some fans reacted on social media:

Warnock’s press conference

@Matt_Rowney: I could sit and listen to a Neil Warnock presser all day long

@Boro_Brick_Road: I get how opposition fans hate Warnock. But when he’s your manager you really see a different side of him - he just loves football and is so enthusiastic

@4TheLoveOfBoro: Just love listening to him. More than any other manager Boro have had. What a man. What a football man.

@ClarkRDanny: What a bloke, he'll go down as one of my favourite ever Boro managers. Could sit and listen to his interviews all day. Just an all round great bloke with football running through his veins.

Barnsley win

@Smithy_MFC84: Great to go into the international break with a win, confidence has to be high given the Championships top two in Reading & Bristol City are up next.

@LewisThompson7: Huge win that, was scrappy at times but we had to get 3 points on the board I think the best thing about Warnock is how he has improved so many players, Dijksteel looks quality, even Bola played well today, Fry looked solid last two games, we look a different team this season

@baloo15: Great result, looking a different team from last year. Fry best I have seen him play. Bola looked like a different player

Patrick Roberts

@dikyp_vip: Get in. His creativity is exactly what we need

@tom_mcgarry17: If Carlsberg did Saturdays

@Paulgarbs: Great day for the Boro

@boropolis: Unbeaten in 3. Three Points. 2 in 2 for Chuba Akpom. Patrick Roberts returning. What a weekend!

@steroberts111: Things are starting to fall into place. When the fixtures came out we might have struggled, but we did pretty well, have put together a decent squad and can push on.
