Two changes - courtesy of the Echo: MIDDLESBROUGH: Brynn, Ayling, Edmundson, Jones, Targett; Browne, Hackney, Morris; Nypan, Conway, Strelec SUBST...
Splendid starter, Selwyn. Despite Jarkko's reassuring words, I'm not sure a quick injection would suffice to deal with this: (see photos)!
Targett (90) & Nypan (90+3) make it SIX!
HH booked in the 87th minute, Boro's fourth yellow of the match (Conway in the 50th was the other).
Sène equaiises in the 77th minute, assisted by Ayling!
Azaz subbed in the 64th minute, Burgzorg, Hansen & Sène on for Morris, Conway & Strelec in the 71st.
Saints take the lead through Armstrong in the 61st minute. Browne & Nypan on for Brittain & Whittaker in the 62nd minute.
Strelec booked in the 51st minute - CJ: He wins the free-kick but then waves the imaginary card and gets himself booked. Silly.
CJ would seem to agree: Tough first half for Boro that. Very sloppy in possession today, wanting too much time on the ball and inviting pressure on ...
Alfie Jones booked in the 24th minute. 0-0 after 35 minutes. I'll take that scoreline at full time...
A pre-match stat quoted by CJ that doesn't augur too well: - no Championship player has created more chances this season than Ryan Manning (14)
CJ's analysis of the selection: One change from Rob Edwards then.Whittaker returns to the starting line-up at the expense of Sverre Nyan, who drops ...
Is that wise?!!!
One change as Whittaker comes in for Nypan Starting XI: Brynn, Ayling, Edmundson, Jones, Brittain, Morris, Hackney, Targett, Whittaker, Strelec,...
What a luxury, not having to worry for once about other teams' performances/points totals!
The Robins have already pulled back one of them (Mehmeti in the 53rd minute)...
It finishes 2-1 & we are STILL top of the league! 🙂
Thank God for that second goal: the Baggies pull one back in the dying minutes to make it 2-1. Five minutes of injury time...
Browne on for Conway in the 63rd minute, Kante & Whittaker on for HH & Nypan in the 80th.
Comment from the Beeb: Boro boss Rob Edwards knows what he's doing, doesn't he? Replacing goal scorer David Strelec with Kaly Sène at half-time rai...
Sène makes it 2-0 in the 61st minute, assisted by HH. Another maiden goal! 🙂
Silvera on for Edmundson in the 40th minute - injury! 🙁
Boro takes the lead in the 26th minute through Strelec (his first for the club), assisted by Ayling. From the Beeb's live commentary: A long throw ...
From the Beeb's live commentary: Statistically speaking... Beating a team who have remained undefeated so far this season is a task in itself, but...
Interesting, pragmatic, sensible perspective:
Interesting that all three sets of ratings report that Callum Brittain had a goal disallowed for offside, so Boro could have won...
RE speaking about Dael Fry's injury:
Echo player ratings: Nypan MotM - 7 Nypan (for Whittaker, 67): A game-changer from the bench, as he was against Sheffield United. Hard for Edw...
Nine goals notched so far this season by EIGHT different scorers (Fry, HH, Jones, Burgzorg, Azaz [no longer with the club, of course], Conway [2], Tar...
The second equaliser scored by Sontje Hansen in the second minute of SEVEN minutes of injury time!
