DON Goodman has described Middlesbrough's start to the Championship season as outstanding - making a comparison to Sunderland last season as he pondered their promotion chances.

- By CRAIG JOHNS

Rob Edwards has enjoyed an excellent start to life in the Boro hotseat, with Boro second in the Championship table after nine games. With 18 points on the board, their only defeat of the league campaign so far came last time out at Portsmouth.

While that loss highlighted a key area where it's clear Edwards must now work to improve Boro, Goodman is impressed by Boro and is rating their promotion chances highly.
