West Ham 0-1 at Swansea at half-time, so up to second place in the table, Boro back down to third: same number of points, but a GD of +18 compared wi...
An honest assessment of the match by Dom Shaw in the Echo:
Osho (Cardiff) sent off in the 83rd minute for a bad foul on Lanky Will, Sarmiento on for Borges in the 89th minute. Four minutes of injury time.
Arfsten on for ACD in the 74th minute, MPH for McGree in the 79th.
CJ: Three-touch Willy! His first goal that hasn't been a one-touch finish. Gets it on the edge, sets himself, and then bends one into the bottom cor...
And they're level! Who else but Lanky Will? 61st minute, assisted by ACD. Can they repeat what they did at Stoke?
TC pulls one back in the 58th minute, assisted by Brittain!
They replace Ayling & Joseph.
CJ: Lankshear and Berhalter Both are out here doing what I'd describe as extensive warm-ups during the interval. Both just getting instructions fr...
Now 0-2 (first minute of injury time)... The Imps leading by the same score at Millwall!
CJ: Awful goal to concede. McGree doesn't get hold of a ball played up to him. Moylan picks it up just outside the edge of Boro's box. Borges backs ...
Bugger! Boro a goal down after 22 minutes. 🙁
CJ: Kyle Joseph It's a big call from Hellberg. One, you'd imagine, made with protecting Lankshear, in mind. We'll of course ask about that after. ...
That's how the Beeb is calling it: There's a 12-minute interview with KH among that lot. 😉
Lanky Will on the bench: The thoughts of Chairman CJ: That's a big call from Kim Hellberg then - the first time this season in the Championship...
Apparently, there's no buy-back clause in Lanky Will's contract: 🙂
Unfortunately, the Swans also won, so Boro still two points adrift. At least it's not four!
2-3
Sucker punch for Boro: Borges atones for the OG in the first minute of four minutes of injury time!
CJ: That's such a needless goal to give away. Poor decision making and game management again. Cross comes in that's causing no danger whatsoever unt...
But again the Potters equalise (85th minute). 🙁
Arsften & Joseph on for Lanky & ACD in the 77th minute.
Boro back in the lead: Lanky Will in the 73rd minute. McGree & Conway on for Sarmiento & Berhalter in the 64th minute. Swansea a goal up ...
How CJ saw the OG: Poor from Berhalter to give it away in the middle of the park. Stoke break and it's out to Tchamadeu on the right. He crosses lo...
Two minutes later, Stoke level courtesy of a Borges OG. 🙁
Brittain gives Boro the lead three minutes into the second half, assisted by ACD. 🙂
Ayling & Sarmiento in this evening's starting XI for McGree & Conway: A Boro win & a Swansea loss at Millwall would mean Boro ending ...
Looks as though Dom Shaw agrees: (article about Ashley Phillips' talent & his potential for further development, largely as perceived by KH -...
Thanks for that, Bob. Good to see you having a busy posting session! 🙂
Dormo: this is how CJ described the incident at the time when it happened yesterday (27th minute): Bizarre refereeing Ball comes out to Mane and ...
