Millwall midfielder Massimo Luongo says Middlesbrough are the best team in the Championship this season. "Honestly… patterns, running, detail, everything is top," Luongo told BBC's Football Daily 72+ podcast. They are the best team I've seen this season." Luongo described Boro's trip to Coventry on Monday as a "heavyweight" clash between the Championship's top two. Ex-Crystal Palace, Watford and Reading winger Jobi McAnuff also praised Boro boss Kim Hellberg for making his team "outstanding and really good to watch".
