Aitor Karanka has heaped praise on Boro’s loyal supporters and admitted their passion continues to surprise him.
Boro will once again be backed by a massive away support on Saturday, with around 5,000 Teessiders set to make the pilgrimage to Wigan.
Losing only once in their last 13 matches, Karanka’s side are in a rich vein of form and remain in touching distance of top spot in the Championship.
The Riverside welcomed back nearly 23,000 fans for the Bournemouth match a fortnight ago, and Boro have also enjoyed big away followings at a number of away matches this season, including Huddersfield, Bolton, Liverpool and Leeds.
“Every single game it’s increasing away and at home, and it’s a good thing for us because they trust the team and are supporting the team,” Karanka told the club’s official website.
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka“We have to keep working in the same way to make sure they keep the same feeling.
“It was a surprise last season when we played far away from here and we always had a lot of support.
“In Spain it’s different, and for me it’s a very good surprise and our crowd is amazing.
“I can’t say how grateful I am for their support and it gives me more energy.”
