Patrick Bamford is playing a key role in Boro's terrific start to the season - and the striker admits he is loving life on Teesside.





The goals are beginning to roll in for Bamford , with the striker having scored two goals in consecutive games, but he insists helping the team win is priority.





"I'm loving it, obviously it's nice scoring but the important thing is helping the team win," said Patrick. "Everyone wants to start every game but has to be patient.





"I'm enjoying the run of the games at the minute. We all said at half time (against Norwich) we weren't playing well, but were 2-0 up.





"The gaffer said go out and play like it was 0-0 at half time and that's what we did.





"Norwich are a good team who have come down from the Premier League but we dealt with them well and stopped any major chances happening.





"We're happy because we're winning games, but it's only November and you can't get carried away you have to just keep it going."



















Bamford believes the togetherness at Boro is playing a big part in the team's current success heading into Saturday's crucial clash with Bournemouth.





"I think a big part of our success last season at Derby was the togetherness and it's the same thing here if not better," he added.





"It's a big squad but everyone is united. Saturday will be a big game, these are the games we want to play in and big players turn up to big matches."
