It's four wins out of four for Kim Hellberg as Boro boss. We reflect on the brilliant performance and victory over QPR and look ahead to the weekend trip to Bristol City.

And we talk at length about Matt Targett's situation after Eddie Howe admitted this week Newcastle could consider recalling the left-back in January.

We also talk Adilson Malanda after speaking to the defender at Boro's Christmas party event at the Riverside this week.
